I couldn’t agree more about all the posts in this thread.
Yes it is insulting to the people that love this beautiful game.
Ive said it before and I will say it again, make two versions of NHL25…. One called NHLHITZ or NHL STREET where you can put all the stuff that are more suitable for a Fortnite genre type of game and make an authentic version for people who truly loves the game of hockey.
Everything in this game right now, is done to counter online cheese and ballerinas and that reflects big time on the people that wants a true representation of the sport. I mean, this is supposed to be a hockey game, no ?

There's absolutely nothing done to counter online cheese. The same major cheese plays have been there for at least 2 years and only got worse. Skating in circles in the corner without passing, skating right at people along the boards, sitting in the slot defensively and letting the CPU defend, cross-crease passes being incredibly easy this year... I mean where do you see any attempt at countering cheese plays?

Well at least that was the focus. I never said they succeeded 😉
The Pressure System was basically done to make people play a bit more like hockey online, by cycling the puck and force Ozone play. When you also see 2 AI DMen camp their post on both sides, to counter that move people did all the time from the back of the net and going in front from the side… They also nerf the LTing so now players can’t turn on a dime like they used to. They nerf the dump so that it gives more advantage to the attacking team and to give the pressure system even more purpose…
Should I go on ? Why were these changes done to the game in your opinion ? Certainly not for the sake of OFFLINE…

You're right about all of those plays, but one of the big gameplay changes was to the L2/skating backwards. That greasy goal line still goes in, but it's not as bad.
So they got like 1.5/5-6
I'm just hapöy that I voted with my wallet this time.
Im not proud saying that this type of play can happen IRL.
Stutz pulls a no look pass on his knees half turning...

At least it's good players doing this type of play. Stutz and Fant.
