NHL 25 is terrible
How did this franchise get so bad? The gameplay is unbearable. It’s choppy and buggy. Stop using AI to create games and hire real developers. Franchise mode is the only redeemable mode the game has. All around terrible game. Recently played NHL 23 again (which has its own issues), but my god was it so much smoother than this garbage.Europe playable in franchise mode
Hey As European hockey fan I would love to see European leagues playable in franchise mode. I remember way ago in NHL 06 or something that was somehow possible. I think that would add lot of flavor to game as North American players as well if it possible to make European leagues playable and let you as NHL team GM see how your prospects develop when they are playing in Europe. That kind of play mode would also allow you start at gm of some Canadian junior teams and work your way up to gm of NHL team.Roster moves at end of season
I had two rookies to begin the season that I did the win the calder conversation with and one of them won the calder. However because the player who won the calder is a 77 ovr they were automatically sent down immediately after the cup final is over which is also the trigger for the calder conversation since the awards are also set at that time. The calder conversation pops up for the second rookie since they are a 79 and stayed on the roster. So the rookie who did not win the calder received the conversation for the calder win and the potential upgrade and attributes while the rookie who actually won gets nothing in the AHL. Why would auto roster moves that are not necessary even happen at the end of the season and how in the world does the other rookie get the boosts instead? Makes no sense and is super annoyingDont buy ea nhl game
Ea nhl game is trash dont buy it the AI s are so dumb and ea nhl hockey game dont reward there rewards are a slap in the face you u dont get eny coin and u have to trade in quarter of you team to get some one u cant buy eny players because youre always spending youre money on the set and not get the player's you want so no you're fantasy team its there team or nothing and they stop paying you coins because they want you to spend real money on there broke game ea sucks at making hockey dont buy eny of there hockey game been trash since 2010Why is nhl so cheap and rip u off

Why are The AI so dumb they dont no how to cover a person they dont no how to stop they go in the crease right behind the goalie they dont check or poke check or hit all they do is skate around and go in to there position ea say there AI intelligence but I just think there dumbAI in 2025 NHL
Can someone explain to me why the AI in NHL 2025 (maybe/probably 2026 too) is so terrible? When they're against us, they win almost every face-off, score a goal every three shots, make great passes, the goalie stops almost everything, etc.... But… when it's the AI of your teammates... They almost never score goals, the goalie is useless, the defensemen give the puck away for no reason, never win any face-offs... etc. It's very frustrating and makes the game almost unplayable...
Please bring NHL back to PC — it's long overdue
Hi EA Sports team, With the NHL playoffs in full swing, I’ve been trying everything to get a decent hockey experience on PC — old titles, mods, emulators, and even Xbox Cloud Gaming via Game Pass. Unfortunately, none of it truly works well, and there’s still no official way to play NHL on PC in a way that feels modern, sharp, and satisfying. I tried playing NHL 24 through Game Pass, but the image quality is heavily compressed and blurry, even on a wired high-speed connection. It’s not remotely close to the quality PC gamers expect. Buying a console just to play one game feels excessive — and honestly, not the most environmentally responsible choice either. PC gaming already has the hardware, the community, and even handhelds like Steam Deck ready for your game. Please bring NHL back to PC. With FIFA (EA FC) and Madden now fully supported, NHL is the last major sports franchise missing. It’s time. And hey — if you don’t make your money back, I promise to sell my house to cover development costs. Yes, I’m that confident there’s a market. 😉
NHL 26 - PC (yet another thread asking for it)
Firstly, I'd like to start with mentioning that I've played this franchise since I was a kid. My first one was '07 back on PS2. I loved hopping on and playing every chance I could. I was an every-other-year buyer of these games up until NHL 21, and it wasn't because I stopped enjoying them. It was because I, along with more and more gamers every year, made the move to PC. One of the only things I miss about my Playstation is the NHL games. If a new NHL game were to come out on PC - even better, on Steam? Instant wishlist. Instant buy on release day. I wanna play Be a Pro again. Make more expansion teams in Franchise mode again. Find some people to play in an EASHL club with again. It's not as if there's no market. PC grows year over year. Look at Capcom's recent earnings report, for example. Capcom has been a console-first developer/publisher for as long as it's been around. Their most recent huge title, "Monster Hunter: Wilds", actually ended up having more PC players than console players - a first for that series. And that's just one concrete example of the numbers supporting PC's meteoric growth. Streaming the game through Gamepass isn't a solution (though it's better than nothing). A lot of gamers, including myself, don't have an internet connection reliable enough to stream games. More still don't have one strong enough to stream games and play online modes. We need a real PC version of these games going forward.
