Playoff mode home team selection
Hey, I've asked this for 2-3 years for now. Can you please make it back that you can choose which team has home advantage in Playoff mode when there's only two teams selected? I've played offline against my friend for 10 years now best of 7 series every 3 months. We've had that the one who won last time gets the home advantage for the next series. But we have not been able to choose home team for like last 3 years. For example we are playing with Boston and LA and no matter which side we choose the teams, Boston is always having home advantage - I think because they had better season in real life. Choosing the home team worked before. Maybe it was after NHL 22 when it ddn't work no more.
WRONG COLOR ZONES on GOALIE EQUIPMENTS!
EA_Aljocan you pls this adress to your ART team. unfortunentlyCatalyst PX5 have wrong color zones, when one color is addressed to multiple zones, so it is not possible to do setup e.g. Swayman. We need 2 color zones instead of one. True HZRDUSwrong color zones on edge! We need add more color zones (Right now is just one color zone) Correct, on picture - We need 3 color zones instead of one. TRUE L20.2 wrong color zones on edge! (Right now is just one color zone) Correct, on picture - We need 4 color zones instead of one. Same with blocker and trapper.
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?
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.
Newest Patch (coachs) and Active Roster
I've come to see, unfortunately, that you must download the newest roster in order to have access to coaches in all game modes. EA, custom rosters take HOURS and HOURS; Can you please fix that? It's a great addition but I just don't want to sacrifice all my work for new heads behind the benches. It's a shame. Any recommendations? The only thing I've not tried is merging my custom roster with the newest one, but if I relate to my past experiences, EA's roster will just overtake my customizations apart from created players/teams. HELP
Players fatigue in powerplay
The players fatigue in powerplay is really unrealistic. The players get much faster fatigued, than at 5 on 5. If you have a powerplay and the other team clears the puck, you have to skate back to your own net, to catch the puck. Than your players is completely fatigued. Also the other players of your team, if they skate back. So the problem is not with the fatigue-level of the whole game. That works for me. But at powerplay there is something weird EA_Aljo
Same game different year same problems
EA is continuing to show they have no care at all for the gameplay experience. I'm hearing there were finally updates this year I was excited and bought again... First three seconds of launching my be a pro and it is the same reel I've been watching for 4 years now... First time trying to play a game and all the same bugs are there for 4 straight years... Not even remotely trying to fix them either. In fact gameplay has gotten even worse. I can be skating away from a defender in the middle of the ice but somehow he hits me, while chasing me, so hard my guy struggles to get up. Defenders pick off or hit anything withing 5 ft of them but then your own guys just skate backwards letting the team shoot freely on your goalie... This game has become so beyond broken and just a money grab this will be my last year if I don't sell it before Christmas
Past music and shutting off certain songs!
i like some songs but **bleep** there are a few i cant stand would be nice to have options! I still go back and play nhl 24 and even 23 sometimes and notice those songs for that year are still playing so it cant be a license issue? so i was wondering why dont you carry over those songs every year as well to make the library bigger so we dont get sick of hearing the same songs over and over! also why cant there be and option to shut off certain songs! other games usually have this!
Thanks EA for the job !
Ahhh... Another HUT year ! Thank you EA for the new job this year. The grinding job where I was supposed to play the way I wanted. After a day at work, I can comeback at home and enjoy my second job, NHL 25. Moments, Wildcard, so much fun... The best brain dead moments of my life ! Just put all the rewards in the xp path and do like tournaments type of game for the events. That way I can play the game without to grind all the chores and have fun playing a hockey game ! Seasons, playoffs (you qualify on div. you get in the season, like eashl) and tournaments (events). That way people can play the way they want. You'll save time and concentrate the players in a smaller bucket. Because you know, we play a hockey game to play hockey ! Oh and please, please, please... coop ! Just my opinions, thanks for the read ;)
New Alumni Players needed
#4 Bobby Orr was the best addition added to the Alumni list last year. Would be a honor to get the greatest pure goal scorer #22 Mike Bossy added. Please bring back Guy LeFleur, Cam Neely, Bobby Hull to the list. Who is a list of players you would like added to the Alumni rosters? Oh ya Bure, Mogilny Fedorov, Datsyuk, Fetisov, Kariya, Stevens, Ciccarelli...
