College Players Recently Signed to NHL Contracts
Can we please not wait another full week for a roster update? There have been a large amount of college players now with NHL contracts and who have played in games. i.e. Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault. It seems a bit lazy on the teams part to not have this one out before the typical 2 week + waiting period for an update.
World of Chel Store
I want to ask what is the philosophy with having rotating sets of customizable items to buy from? I ask this because as of now we do not have the freedom to buy any item we want at any time. I prefer a store that has all available customizable items to purchase. I don’t know how difficult it is to make this happen but it’d be a nice quality of life experience if it gets done.World of Chel is almost unplayable at this point
Yesterday we played 2 players who didnt even play the game, and lost to them. They hit sticked our goalie on a goal. The guy was not even trying to do anything other than hit our goalie. Goal counted. Today, our whole club reset. Our jersey's got reset, logo got reset and all our club is completely wrong? What is going on this season? I can attach the goalie interference to.No Tripping Call While Attempting A Lacrosse Style Goal
I was playing world of chel and I went to go for a lacrosse style goal. When I attempted the move, I got tripped and the referees arm didn't go up. And that's not the worst part, I have to stay down on the ground for 5 seconds now and I can't get back to my defensive zone in time. This has happened to me many times, I have a video showing there was no tripping call. Thanks for reading this and hopefully this bug is fixed.No option to log into a new email.
Hello EA, I cannot access online content because NHL 25 automatically tries to log me into an old non-functioning email account. I can't change my email account login because EA Connect needs to be logged into in order to be allowed to make this change. If installing NHL 25 the first time had a log-in screen so players can choose which EA account they wanted to use would help solve this problem. The problem is I can not login to my original account or reset the pass word because the link is being sent to a non existent email account, and that email account is also linked to my PSN account. My new email and EA account tells me, when trying to link it to PSN, that my PSN is already linked (to the old EA account) and only one account can be linked. I would like for EA to unlink and delete my old account if possible. I have attached an image of the screen that automatically is shown when I open NHL25. I have already spoken with an adivsor who told me to post my issue here. I have had this issue for years but have been able to login by backing out of the login screen, now that does not do the trick anymore as of the latest update.
EA Log-In Screen?
Hello EA, Might I recommend the next future game patch includes a EA Account Log-in screen. Many people, including myself, cannot access online content because NHL 25 automatically tries to log me into an old non-functioning email account. I can't change my email account login because EA Connect needs to be logged into in order to be allowed to make this change. If installing NHL 25 the first time had a log-in screen so players can choose which EA account they wanted to use would help solve this problem. I paid $100 to play NHL 25 with no access to the on-line game features! Please fix this....
return of nhl 94 controls in nhl 25
I would like to know if it would be possible to have the nhl 94 controls returned in nhl 25? I bought the game last year and was never able to get used to it even with the hybrid controls. It's not true that hybrid controls are the same. If we are able to go to the moon why can't you bring back the nhl 94 controls?? there is a petition circulating and several people are like me and ask for the return of the nhl 94 controls will you bring them back yes or no??NHL 25, what happen
I’ve been playing EA NHL since NHL 97 and I have to say that this NHL 25 is the worst game ever designed. I’ve never been so disappointed. I continually play every day but that’s because this is the only hockey game on the market and I’m at their mercy. The graphics are awesome, but AI players in CHEL are absolutely the worst. AI skaters are usually lost, can’t pass and rarely score the AI goalies are dummied on every breakaway. Deke forward to backhand goes in 9/10 times. The designers only fix important bugs in HUT. I usually only play CHEL. I wish EA would wake up and fire these design programmers and produce a quality CHEL platform again. Can they hire the programmers of Madden or FIFA for NHL 26. Please fix the AI to play better. They’re losing more and more customers every season.Scoring
Backhand, forehand, backhand, goal. I feel trying to make good plays and set up 1T shots, or anything else just seems far less effective than just backhanding for every goal.. it's sad that it can even be done shortside because these goalies can't bother to hug the post. This is why we either need some type of dynamic goalie behavior patterns or some type of club created thresholds so that your goalie will behave differently than other goalies and scoring can become diversified a bit more. Ideally I'd play with/ against human goalies but not many want to play goalie, esp for any long stretch of time. This is the one part of the game that needs the MOST attention paid to it. It's brutal. We will be 2 v 0 and instead of using a 1T we pull off and let the other get the backhand goal because it's almost 100% where as even a seemingly perfect 1T chance you risk a crazy acrobatic save or your guy messing up the shot. This is prob the worst I've seen this game as far as 1v1 on the goalie. I actually think the goalie plays better in threes eliminator. I mean I'm using the constant backhand spam too because I feel I have no choice if I want to win but man does it limit any creativity.. goaltending in this game needs a lot of work. It also needs to REALLY reward goalies for playing that position. I'm not sure how but it's a thankless job haha!NHL 25 Feedback
After a couple of hours gameplay I got to say I'm very impressed. Game feels slower and more authentic. I know it will get faster as the better cards are released but it definitely doesn't feel like every play is going to be a rush. Vast improvement in AI defence. Hitting is better but still a little bit OP. Goalies are solid. Playing on Superstar is definitely harder than last year,which I prefer tbh. Overall it just feels more rewarding , looks and plays more like the real game. Well done devs 👏
San Jose Sharks AWAY Teal Helmets
Would really like to see some attention to detail on uniforms, especially with the Sharks given that in the game for their AWAY uniforms their helmets are still white when they haven't worn white helmets since around Fall of 2023. I would assume this is an easy issue to fix given the fact that Vegas has an entire alternate uniform selection of just their grey uniforms with the golden chrome helmet already in the game. Just add an extra away uniform selection for the Sharks... If the EA team has absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, I have included photos from both last season, and this season of the Sharks quite clearly wearing TEAL helmets with their AWAY uniforms. I would really like to be more emersed into this game as a Sharks fan and someone who loves uniforms, so hope this is on the agenda to get added soon.
NHL 26 WISHLIST
I'm a big fan of the games and am a Be A Pro merchant. I've played the last 10 NHL games, and have been wondering why it's so easy to become the captain in Be A Pro. The few things I want for NHL 26 Be A Pro are very simple: NHL 19 mechanics where it took 3-4 seasons to get the A, and 2-3 seasons after that to get the C. Since then, you could pretty much immediately become captain after a single season in every Be A Pro. I would love to see them implement these mechanics into the next game. It not only gives you something to work towards, but also adds a level a realism to the game. Please give less dialogue in Be a Pro and make it easier to sim. With so many random side missions and interactions, it makes it difficult to want to really grind the career and play for a while. NHL 19 is a perfect example of what my ideal Be A Pro would look like. Fix the Low, High, and Fixed camera angles to make them not spin in 360 degrees. Why not just make it like the FIFA career camera?NHL 25 keeps crashing on series x
I can’t even complete a single game in NHL 25 without being sent back to the Home Screen. Sometimes, it even happens in the menu. None of my friends with a Series X are experiencing this issue, yet it persists for me. I had the same problem with Madden 24 and College Football 25 before they were patched, but NHL 25 still hasn’t been fixed. It’s crazy that I paid $70 for a game that I can’t even play properly.
