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. Now let’s get into the rest of the updates: Gameplay Fixed an issue with players' sticks colliding with the puck during Stumbles. Fixed an issue when fast-forward to a new shift and getting scored on Fixed an issue where the Skill Based One Timer on Ice Feedback wasn’t appearing for skaters with One T Zone X-Factor Added additional error to passes aimed directly at the goalie while within close range Fixed alignment issues with Chop Puck to help increase the success rate of Chop Puck while stationary and skating Fixed an issue when a user disconnects in an online game which results in 2 AI players causing a line change Fixed a rare issue where CPU may not skate onto a loose puck in the defensive zone when in position to obtain it Fixed an issue that blocked goalies from making certain saves while leaving Hug Post into Butterfly Fixed an issue where CPU players with Back At Ya Zone ability were not able to execute a Reverse Hit Fixed a rare issue where a CPU player with the puck skated back into their zone when they should be focused on attacking Fixed an issue with Skill Based One Timers not triggering One Knee down shot animations when successfully timed Fixed an issue where a Goalie Poke check on a loose puck can cause the goalie to get out of position and miss the puck Fixed an issue where a Goalie can overslide their movement when tracking a puck banked off the end boards Fixed a rare animation issue when a skater skates too close to the net and the model looks disjointed Fixed a rare end-of-period crash that could trigger while shooting the puck at the end of a period Updated plays for 1-3-1 power play Updated plays for Passive, Standard, and Aggressive 3-on-3 OT In Zone Strategies Gameplay Tuner Notes: Developer Feedback: Setting up a perfect Skill Based One Timer is a rewarding hockey play and we want players to feel the satisfaction of hammering home the puck. We want to be very mindful of any adjustments that may reduce their effectiveness. This update reduces some of the additional bonuses applied to Skill Based One Timer shots which can impact the Goalies indirectly. Reduced Stamina Drain on Skill Based One Timer saves. Reduced bonus Shot Accuracy applied to perfectly timed Skill Based One Timer shots.

Would like to hear everyone's first impressions so far. I've only been on for like 5 minutes but have noticed some stuff worth mentioning. Main menu - It doesn't necessarily hurt the game but I feel having a second "enter mode" box underneath everything is an aesthetically odd choice. Removing that in a future patch would look slightly better. Loading - Cmooooooon like jeez, you ditched last gen, we should be able to load into stuff a lot faster than this :( Edit Player (Chel) - I have a new LG C3 (has the fancy stuff like VRR and G-Sync or whatever) with the right cables and connections and am on game mode but there is still so much stutter/blur when the player is whipping his head around when selecting faces. It's been like this for years now and while technically not a game breaker, it does show a lack of polish (or rather, it brings certain problems further into the spotlight). Holy cow just stand still! I'd like the ability to compare at least a few faces to each other instead of long-swapping between em. ALLOW ME TO IMPORT PREVIOUS YEAR'S CHARACTER DATA ALREADY!!!! (Same goes for custom teams). Holy lol, did the whole budget go into new gen hair? I got a pretty sick Shrek Prince Charming thing going here... Another zero effort trophy list; still retains the greatness trophy for breaking Gretzky's record which is beyond painful/boring for anyone who doesn't live for offline BaP. Remove the "Reset Player Class" popup - Yeah duh all my stats will reset when changing classes and stuff - Please give us the option to at least toggle never having to see it after the first time. Same bone-headed AI as before; honestly don't see any difference, especially on faceoffs1.6KViews5likes78CommentsNHL 25 Gameplay First Look

With owner mode on, the user can also persuade a player to use the same preferences as a Star player on the team. Scheme fit conversations with the Head Coach allow the user to match their AHL Head Coach’s strategies with the NHL club or vice versa, allowing for full unity within the organization. New conversation topics can be accessed within existing save files Fixed an issue where a Coach's coaching style could refresh when selecting a season goal Fixed an issue in the intro coach conversation where selecting a preseason focus before a season goal would not allow the user to select a season goal as well Fixed an issue where the user could re-ask a player to add teams to their trade list within the same day Fixed an issue where Quick Draw Superstar ability was awarded prior to the player completing the challenge Fixed an issue where the player portrait would not show in the waive player conversation flow World of CHEL Fixed an issue where sometimes there would be multiple screen wipes after a goal is scored Fixed an issue where the post matchup dressing room would show different jersey previews for different players in the session Fixed a timing related issue where the user could get stuck in the main menu when attempting to enter WoC Free Skate Fixed a timing issue where the player of the game could be missing from the sequence if the post-game is skipped Updated Fischtown Penguins away jersey thumbnail in Creation Zone Fixed an issue where a pulled goalie does not return after delayed penalty shot in EASHL 3v3 Clubs Fixed an issue where the club stats widget is overlapping with the strategies, preventing players from changing their strategy Fixed an issue where Matchmaking settings were not visually updating WoC Dressing Rooms for some options Fixed an issue where Grudge matches are occurring even when the option is disabled in Club Private games Fixed an issue where matchmaking continually times out when users select one skater and one goalie, with drop-in disabled in Clubs Fixed an issue where the penalty timer is missing on score clock when user skips the penalty replay in EASHL 6v6 Fixed an issue where if the user goes to a different tab from the WoC HUB, and then returns to the Play tab, the selection highlight will always jump back up to Live Events Fixed a rare crash when the Dressing Room leader attempted to access the Match Strategies screen Fixed a rare crash when on the jersey selection screen in EASHL 3v3 Clubs after successfully matchmaking with another club Fixed an issue in NHL Arcade where goalies may skate out of their crease during post goal moments which can take them out of the play Presentation Animation Fixed the "Sudden Death" character's upper body during their idle animation - stick no longer clips into jersey Improved the hand contacts on the Stanley Cup during handoffs in the Stanley Cup celebration Audio PA Announcer - Fixed issue that caused PA Announcer to use incorrect gender pronouns.

Broadcast Fixed an issue that caused the Goal Player Indicator to stop following the goal scorer when some celebrations were triggered Group celebrations now exhibit the right level of emotion on late goals when the scoring team is up by more goals than we predict the opponent can score in the remaining time (the game is out of reach). This also applies to the scenario where the scoring team is losing by more goals than we predict they can score with the remaining time. This logic is not used in the playoffs or high intensity games (Stanley Cup final, tournament elimination games) Fixed an issue where the digital dashers would continue to show the countdown timer when rolling into continuous OT in EASHL Quickplay 3v3 Arcade - Fixed an issue where occasionally the post-game player lineup was missing the players.

The EA SPORTS NHL team is actively listening to community concerns and is prioritizing the investigation of WOC matchmaking issues. We are consistently releasing tuning updates to improve the experience, and we're closely monitoring their impact. Today, we've released an update specifically aimed at addressing high ping games. We appreciate your patience and support during this time.EA_Aljo4 months agoCommunity Manager2.2KViews8likes57Comments
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.Misterkevv74 months agoNew Traveler1.5KViews4likes56CommentsNHL 25 Gameplay Deep Dive Trailer and Blog

Hello NHL Community, Here are the patch notes for Patch 1.4.0 launching this Wednesday, January 22 at 1 pm ET. Please complete all online games before this time as server instability is expected up to an hour after the patch deployment. 1.4.0 Patch Notes 4 Nations Face-Off Integration The following modes now include 4 Nations Face-Off content: Play Now 4 Nations Face-Off Tournament Mode Online VS Shootout World of CHEL (Uniforms) Hockey Ultimate Team (Uniforms and Logos) Note: Download the latest roster update to enjoy the best 4 Nations Face-Off experience. Gameplay PWHL Added PWHL No Escape Rule (Rule 15.5). General Fixed an edge case where users were unable to perform reverse hits. Improved AI decision-making when covering the puck carrier or transitioning up the ice, reducing instances of gliding instead of giving effort. Enhanced AI check/shove decision-making when close to the puck carrier. Arcade Removed scenarios where goals did not count due to non-existent goal reviews. Fixed issues where goalies could become stuck and unable to recover until a powerup ended. Game Modes Franchise General Fixed an issue where game results didn’t populate in the HUB until advancing a day or switching leagues. Franchise Conversations & Contract Negotiations Fixed an issue where skater scheme fit conversation options under a prior coach remained unavailable after hiring a new coach. Adjusted tuning to make it slightly easier to charm a player at the start of contract negotiations when their organization's interest is low. Statistical goals now display the minimum stat needed for the minimum attribute boost within the range. The info widget still shows the maximum goal required for the full boost. World of CHEL Fixed an issue in NHL Arcade where the tiny goalie could become stuck laying down after a desperation save. Resolved an issue where controller disconnection in the creation zone caused WoC network issues. Addressed Game Configuration failures when entering WoC Dressing Rooms. Fixed a desync issue that occasionally occurred in NHL Arcade, EASHL Club Finals 3v3, or 6v6. Corrected an issue in NHL Arcade where disallowed goals in regular games still did not count. Fixed a Quickplay 3v3 issue where the goal replay displayed an empty Carter Lake rink instead of the correct goal celebration sequence. Resolved an issue where users could be kicked out of the party on the post-matchup screen of an EASHL private drop-in game. Hockey Ultimate Team Various visual and art fixes. Fixed team name being displayed twice on the jersey and logo card for the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Corrected missing portraits for PWHL X-Factor players in the edit lines tab.

Incorrect jerseys/logos
If you find that something is wrong at some teams jersey/logo or has completely wrong jersey/logo put it here and we all can hope EA fixes it. What i have seen from one stream there is least one team from Finnish Liiga that has compeletely wrong jerseys AGAIN. Liiga = Lukko - Rauma Jerseys (home and away) are many years old and logo has no white inside the logo because it is all transparent from the inside.CLX904 months agoRising Scout725Views1like37CommentsDidn't buy
Didn't buy this year's game. Likely won't buy next year's game.. Nearly every post on here confirms everything I believed. The devs have done so poorly that the player base is moving on. The sport itself is gaining popularity, despite this the game is losing population. This is only possible through gross incompetence. Year 1 with this new dev team we saw little changes as they claimed they didn't have time and despite the many bugs they didnt patch anything as they were focused on the next game. Year 2 we saw minor changes, they claimed most of their large updates would be multi year projects. Year 3 almost no updates, worse lobbies, almost no patches. It seems the EASHL community, HUT community, and offline community all feel they're being left out because changes must be happening in the modes they're not playing, right? I'm not sure as consumers we can do anything to right the ship. They claimed they were starting a discord so we may voice our concerns 2 years ago. They brought it back up on X about 5 months ago.. it's taking as long to open that up as any other update this game sees. This game is years behind every other EA title and now decades behind 2K. As they player pop drops we will see match making grow even worse. It's already no room size match, no rank match, AND long wait times? YIKES! Any game I play besides this game has FAR better matchmaking, I can't think of a single title that's close. HUT content from what I've heard has only grown worse/ more stale. BAP wasn't touched. EASHL they added robots or something? How many devs are working on this game? What are they doing? How many hours are they working? How much are they getting paid? How many more years before we see sizable updates? Is it a lack of ideas or ability that this game is just not able to keep up/ improve/ evolve. I'd love to see sales numbers over the last decade. I only see them continuing to drop. This game could be so much more fun with the right devs in place and a team who really cared. I see much more popular games where the devs are active with their community. Here.. we just hope they get word of what we think and we get no response in return. It's sad. This was my favorite game for a number of years, now I wouldn't play it for free..rsandersr4725 days agoRising Rookie426Views10likes36CommentsPatch 1.1.1 forget the exact match setting (screenshot) its very important

Goalie fatigue needs to go in NHL 25
The fatigue system was a good idea, but very poorly implemented. Puck retrievals during fatigue as well as clearing the zone continue to be absolutely atrocious. An NHL player can lob a puck from their own zone, through the neutral zone and into the O-zone from their own redline, but in NHL we can't get the clear to go past the blue line. Slapshots and wrist clears are auto-grabbed by players like they're first basemen. Now with this in mind it seems EA is doubling down on the fatigue in 25 by not only leeching the energy of the team being pinned down, but adding energy back to the other team to make it has frustrating as possible to get the puck out of the zone, only for them to come right back in if you don't clear the neutral zone. After all this, the goalies will not gain their energy back quick enough and will fatigue down to let the most ridiculous shots go through them while they're flailing on the ice having a asthma and heart attack. Why do the strangest decisions for this game keep getting made year after year?Jammalammalam6 months agoNew Traveler682Views7likes33Comments
