Game Breakers
So, let me see if I have this Game Breakers program straight: The program objectives are active for 7 days I need 6 collectibles for a choice of either a BND (84), UT (82) or 80 OVR To acquire these 6 collectibles I have to complete 18 moments. I can earn two more collectibles by completing objectives. However to complete objectives, I need a GB player in my lineup - except to the one objective that takes 5 days to complete. There appears to be 2 85 OVR players in the program (McAvoy and Rantanen) but the only ways to acquire either (or both) is to: A - buy packs and hope and B - hope someone else bought packs and posts them in the auction house. There are no sets to exchange players for collectibles and no sets to build the 85 OVRs I certainly hope that this is not a preview of things to come.
Another day of silence
EA_AljoGotta eventually address the community. Let’s speak about the rewards. Open up dialogue about this and let’s talk. You want our feedback, you’ll get it. Rewards are going to destroy HUT. Stop avoiding this and let’s address this massive issue. Please let me know who I need to contact at EA to pass along this feedback as it’s clear you don’t want anything to do with it. To all, please post below to show your support around this. We can’t go down quiet otherwise the game we love is over for good. I know 0 of you are excited about the next 53 days of useless grind.
Calling my team the wrong name! Please fix
The announcer is always calling my team the Tuscan road runners! I am the Detroit Red Wings. It's very annoying. It does it 99% of the time! Even in wild card and hut. Please fix asap EA. The hut rewards is bad enough this year. At least call my team by the correct team name.
Women cards
EA_Aljo Hi, i want to know if and when will we get an update on Canada and USA women. I don’t understand why that « Picture » of Poulin player model is on the Wildcards banner in the game but she is no where to be found. If it a license issue she shouldn’t be on the banner. All in all, does she gonna get a cards this year ? Thanks !
Ultimate team flop
Ultimate team used to be my favourite mode and game that I play every year the things that they have done to this game are absolutely disgusting. You cannot get players that are for sets. You cannot buy cards on the auction house because everything is extremely over priced. The packs in the auction house are complete and utter scams. Why did I waste 130$ on this game? Playing nhl 25 is pointless u gain nothing from playing the game SB and rivals is done u get nothing the the god awful xp pass for 55 DAYS what they have done to the game is absolutely disgusting the game has been of my PlayStation since launch. Please fix your game or everybody in the community is gone.Moderators/ EA Devs / Community
To all, Please continue to share your issues with EA. The moderator of this forum (unnamed) encourages it. See below for his post just a few days ago talking about what he welcomes on this forum. “We want the EA NHL forums to be a welcome and friendly place for all. This doesn't mean we don't accept negative feedback. As long as it's constructive and not breaking the rules, that's fine. We want to hear what you're struggling with as much as we want to know what you're liking.” Please, do yourself a favor and go through any thread on here that discusses 1. Pack prices 2. Reward path 3. Broken economy etc etc etc. This particular moderator is only responding to what he wants to respond to. IE, he is not accepting negative feedback around certain subjects. They clearly do not want to hear what we are struggling with, otherwise they’d respond to one of the 50+ threads that talks about it! Shoot, at least give us some lip service of “I have passed this along to the team”. I’d stop posting about it instantly! At least at that point we understand that someone at EA has acknowledged us. I have doubts they’ll fix it regardless. I am beyond disappointed with how low EA is going with the rollout of this game and particularly HUT. Please take this moderators advice and share all of your negative feedback in a constructive way which doesn’t break the rules. They want to hear what we are struggling with, they just don’t address it. I am unsure of what else to even say at this point. They have an entire fanbase of their largest game mode asking questions & giving feedback which they are intentionally choosing to avoid. Go into this mod’s account & you will see he is very active in responding to stuff, just not anything involving certain topics. Sad. To the unnamed mod, I don’t blame you. I blame the company you work for. It’s a shame they put you in this position with no other air cover & or real support… but you are the community manager, and you’re INTENTIONALLY AVOIDING SUBJECTS. I’m sure those above you are telling you to stay silent, just frustrating. I hope someday someone at EA wakes up. But, my guesses are a $500 pack comes out before that happens. Please, EA. Do something. Address your loyal community. It’s so embarassing for you to stay silent through this.Sign the petition about the xp path rewards

Confused MLB The Show or Not........
EA, if you are going to attempt to replicate MLB the Show, then don't do it half-azz it! Go back watch MLB The Show and replicate it the right way. Fix this now! You need more programs with high rated players within the XP path. Wildcard completed in a day and then nothing to do. Really Bronze players We are dying here!! Your game is dying!!
Hockey Ultimate Team in NHL 25
Like many others, I was excited for the new year of HUT in NHL 25, and like many others while there were a number of things that were awesome, there were other things that left me wishing I had more reason to keep playing the game. While others in the community like NoSleeves has put it much more eloquently, my thoughts are: The Good Unified XP path to let you play where you want to and earn rewards is a huge win that makes HUT so much more enjoyable Instant rewards similar to HUT Rush from last year on that XP Path is also a huge win, no more waiting against RNG to see if you placed high enough in Rivals or SB to get your rewards, you get them as soon as you can, which is such a game changer Changes to wins mattering more then shots on goal / goals above your opponent for score in Rivals / SB is also great, love that a ton too Gameplay (while subjective) to me has been the best gameplay in an NHL game hands down. Skill based one timers are incredible, lowered overalls to force you to play responsible hockey is great The Bad The lack of content cards to chase in the XP Path or meaningful packs to chase in the XP path has limited the number of "just one more" games I'm willing to play since there is nothing on the line that I couldn't just get in EASHL or Be A Pro Lack of meaningful ways to get 75+ cards in the store has hyper inflated the Auction House and made completing any Team Builder or Icon sets near impossible Despite the good gameplay HUT for the first time feels dead to me, I'm seeing the user base shrink in the first week of the game which I have never seen before, and most people are pretty hopeless that it will get better. From the community so far, some suggestions I have seen that I think might fix these issues would be: For the XP Path, create 250 tiers with lower thresholds to increase through those tiers, so that the content that would have been awarded over 7 Weeks via Rivals / SB Weekly rewards: we had a similar change when opponent refreshes moved from daily to weekly for SB, i think it important to allow for the same quantity of rewards in this new format A 75+ Player Pack of 10 or more players in the store: there was one during early access similiar to the 500 Point one in NHL 24 but at five times the cost. We need someway to acquire 75 to 79 players in game, all packs are either 80+ or 70 to 75, which makes doing either team builders or icon sets impossible Really hoping that something changes and soon, if the current rewards trends continue, then this year's HUT may be dead before Christmas. As someone who regularly plays HUT until late in the summer, I hope that won't be the case this year.
