Finally make a normal online game mode (online versus)!!
Dear developers of the EA NHL game! I've been playing this game regularly for over 5 years. From the height of these years, I can say that the online implementation in the game does not stand up to any criticism! Practically nothing depends on the ability to play it! Only the connection is important! Whoever has it better wins! There is no point in playing your game online. What is the point of an online game if almost nothing depends on the player's ability to play! Can't something be done about it?
@EA_Aljo can we know if the EA team are working on the match room size?
Hi EA_Aljo I would like to know and I believe that many would also like to be informed about whether the EA team has any interest in bringing back the match room size in world of chel? We are told that it is not easy to do but we have no information if EA's interest is to put back this parameter (which is very essential for world of chel). And to be honest, today when I saw that there had been a patch, I was 100% sure that it had been fixed. So maybe if you don't know the answer, you can ask them? Because I read a lot on this forum and a large majority of people here ask for it and we are a little confused on this subject. So maybe find out and give us a clear and precise answer so that everyone knows where we are going!? Thank you!😁NHL 25 Patch 1.2.0 Notes
Hey NHL Fans, Patch 1.2.0 releases today at 1 PM ET. Please complete all online-enabled games ahead of the scheduled go-live time. Following the deployment of the patch,there is an expected downtime of up to one hour. Let’s get into this update, which includes the addition of official NHL coach likenesses, gameplay updates, and more. NHL 25 Coaches Update We’re excited to announce the arrival of all 32 official NHL coaches in EA SPORTS NHL 25, along with their unique personalities and strategies they employ in the real world. This Coaches update will span across a multitude of modes, with the coaches providing their signature schemes and traits to the league. Each coach has a slew of attributes that symbolize their real-world strengths. For example, a coach like John Tortorella brings a physical coaching style and specializes in developing veteran players. Additional areas of differentiation include Power Play, PK, Teaching, and Influence. These traits will be important distinctions between how teams play and develop. Each coach's actual team history and record will be shown in-game and will be updated based on future teams that they may sign with and results within your franchise mode.

Editing Players Appearance/ Stats Within Rosters/Franchise mode
Can you finally edit players appearance/ stats? I've asked this every year, not one real answer why it's never been added. It's such a simple feature for sports games, I swear for franchise/ rosters we've never been able to simply edit a players hair, EVER. We've had - UI changes to franchise mode/ creation zone, roster sharing, new hair added, no new beards since playoff beards back in NHL 16, boring old standard goalie helmets that are even older, the ability to edit player stats removed. WHY DO ALL THIS AND NOT EVENTUALLY DECIDE "let's open up all those basic, unnecessarily greyed out options that all other sports games have (are there other sports games with EA NHLs lack of customization?) I do love what has been done to franchise mode this year, for full price tho? All of this is just waaay way to long overdue, who's ever heard of a hockey player growing their hair out? $90CAD or $50CAD on sale to either sim multiple seasons so I can get drafts of normal looking players/I just create tons of players again .For a franchise player like me, so far these are missing basic quality of life updates not a full price upgrade. Please prove me wrong EA.Goalie control settings not being saved
So in my be a pro, and maybe every mode, when I start a fresh game from launch I have to pause as soon as I get in game. Then goto settings, and then controller settings, and then adjust the "tether" option and the "hug post" options because I dislike the defaults. Then as long as I don't quit to home screen and I keep the game running those settings are saved. However..... if I quit the game and then come back later in the same day, or even a couple minutes later because that last play was ridiculous those two settings have reset back to default and not saved. I have specifically played multiple games in a row and saved over my previous save with the settings set how I want them only to come back later and they are defaulted again... this same problem happened with nhl 24 also. So tell me I'm not the only one that would like these settings to save like the rest of the settings haha?
We lack the computing power for Mouthguards... this is getting frustrating.
You know not everyone wears there mouthguards incorrectly, right?Why is the only option to wear it wrong. Make it so helmets can be sitting on top of your head, not strapped too. Sometimes people do that, so it should be the only option. Untied skate laces as well. And you are telling me you just lack the ability to put a visor on a Jofa helmet? You can't because you don't have the power, the the know how, or the technology doesn't exist. If you listen to anything I've said. MOUTHGAURDS GO IN YOUR MOUTH.

Something changed in the gameplay...
I've seen a few post here and on Reddit that I couldn't agree more with. Since the last update about a week ago something definitely changed in the gameplay. I've seen your awnser on a thread that no tuning has been made yet but something feels way off. -The game seems faster than at launch. We're back to skating a straight line to burn off defender and score. Previously it wasn't required or even that possible. Passing and teamplay was a priority. -Passing feels off. It's like the power of the passes had been tuned down or something like that. They don't connect as well anymore. -There's way more puck interceptions (even when players/cpu are NOT facing the puck, like they intercept the puck from behind) -There's also way more pokecheck from behind. You're on a half breakaway and someone pokecheck you from behind making you loose the puck. That wasn't like that at launch. -There's also way more bumps and hitting. From behind as well. How can someone have enough speed skating in the same direction as you to hit you from behind and make you fall on the ice?? It's ok for bumps and hitting to be in the game, the problem now is that everytime you get touched a little bit, it's like you have only 3 in balance and your character falls on the ice and glide for 10 meters.. Hitting players doesn't seems to be slower than small and fragile players like at launch. -The aggressiveness, hitting and pokechecking of CPU really needs to be tuned down. In squad battle and moments, there extremely too aggressive, they intercept ALL passes, they're on you before you have the chance to do litteraly anything, they will win every puck battle, will always be first on loose puck, will pokecheck you 12 times a second and will block every shot you do.. All that combined with the things I've mentionned earlier. That wasn't like that at launch and I can assure you that it's not a skill issue. -Also, the menus seems to be slower for some reasons. So yeah, I don't know what changed, but it feels off, and playing the game right now feels very frustrating. I loved the game at launch, it actually was the best gameplay you've done in years. Not so much nowadays.
Goalie Pad Color Matching
I've been a dedicated NHL fan for years, and one small detail has consistently bugged me in the game: the goalie pads don't change depending on the team you're playing. It would be fantastic if you could implement an option to automatically change the goalie pad colors to match the team's primary and secondary colors.
Missing points in HUT after purchase
Hi, I have a (strange) problem. I purchased 20.000 points twice in NHL25 app. The first time app crashed during the payment process, and I did not get the points. I made the second purchase and got them, but they were charged twice from my credit card. I contacted EA support, and got an answer that I have received my both points, and he claimed that I have even used them. I honestly don’t know how to continue from here. EA should have all the smallest details of how I have used points in purchasing packs since then, and I am 100% sure there is no evidence of me spending 40.000 points after they were charged.
