Community ManagerHey, everyone. I hate to hear that some of you have to take the year off because of this. I'll absolutely pass on the feedback. Hopefully, we this will be toggleable at some point in the future. Appreciate all the input.

Why is artificial momentum a thing to begin with though? You get the same affect If the chemistry is there and they’re actually moving the puck around instead of throwing it into the slot, turning it over, rinse and repeat.
Same on D, if the entire team is scrambled and out of position, adding an additional artificial hindrance just doesn’t make sense. Who is asking for/demanding stuff like this? How about we go back to focusing on hockey?
I'm not getting this game until you turn off the meter and put in the same controls from 23. All I've heard is this year's game is a disaster.

lol it's still artificial
The opponent skates the puck into my zone and all of a sudden I start getting tired like I'm sprinting on a treadmill, it's kinda stupid.

You can still use the Skill Stick controls, but protect puck was moved from the A/X button. Otherwise, the controls are the same.
SO THE EYESORE CAN T BE TURN OFF...
NHL 25 BRAINSTORMING...HOW ABOUT ,WE PUT A TRACER ON THE PUCK A LA FOXSPORT....LOL

CHEERS

@rsandersr47You have to take it in the way that they been on the ice awhile and feel pressured. It's also to promote people actually playing offense even if winning instead of ragging the puck.
I know this is a very sensitive word around here, but basically this is a SCRIPT ? It gives players in the OZone a BUFF, while giving a NERF to guys in the DZone when being "pressured"… Another thing that drifts away from a good organic gameplay… Things that are supposed to happen organically, randomly are gonna be forced down our throats 😣😫
@KlariskraysNHL
I like the intention by adding the pressure thing, people need to take shots more often and if that means EA need to lure people by giving them a boost, so be it.
But to put the meter in the middle of the ice in the o-zone and not being able to turn it off, thats just a brutal error.
Why there? And why not anywhere else? Is the screen already so full so this was the only place left to put it?
It's like putting up a poster in your cars windshield...
Ah, Okey, I think EA got it by now, no more cosmetic fuzz on the ice, we like it crisp and clean.
And dosent the pressure thing basically mean when a team is under heavy pressure they also loose more stamina and focus.
Thats how it should be, is it really necessary with a pressure meter telling us that..
Community ManagerOut of curiosity, what camera do you all use? I imagine it's a lot more noticeable when using one that's more zoomed in. I play on Zone and barely notice it. So much that I forgot to even check how full the meter is. I get very focused on the gameplay so I'm not even really noticing it until there's a stoppage.

Maybe it’s because you already play with lots of bell and whistles on the ice and one more doesn’t really bother you 🤔😉😆
I mean ZONE is way up there !

I use zone, and I’ve were being honest, I start to block it out as well. What I do find super annoying is the boards all red and looking like Christmas.
Community ManagerNo. I turn off as much as I can. The only thing I leave on is the offside warning. Otherwise, the on-ice trainer is completely turned off for me. I use player indicators since those come in pretty handy in WoC. Otherwise, I try to have as much clutter off the screen as possible. I think it's more about where my focus is though. I'm just trying to gather some more feedback on this. It might have to do with camera angles or possibly it's more of an issue with those that want to replicate how a game is broadcasted while watching AI teams play each other. If any of you have any details on this, let me know so I can pass on that feedback.
Community ManagerI agree. I'd like to see the option to turn it off, but as it is, it's not getting in the way of anything. I totally understand this is just personal preference though so I'm trying to gather some feedback on this to see if there are specific conditions where it's more apparent.
Thanks for the feedback, @BellisJ01. Strangely enough, I'm not noticing the boards, but I see how they can be distracting. My eyes tend to focus on the puck and players so I'm not looking at the boards much, but obviously, this isn't the way everyone operates.

Yeah but in real hockey there's no big circle that says 'pressure' present on the ice at all times. Having that stupid meter there takes away so much realism and immersion.
If some people want all these visual aids while playing, fine, but to not include an option to disable it is just beyond me. This makes last year's presentation debacle pale in comparison, which I didn't think was possible.
I play on action cam and always turn ALL of the extra visuals off, even including player indicators. I want it completely clean, like you're there at the arena. Maximum realism and immersion. So for me the pressure meter completely ruins it.
I also play on true broadcast occasionally. Yeah it's smaller from far away cameras but it's still there annoying the hell out of me.
I like the gameplay in 24 and lots of other stuff too, but that meter's gotta go for me to buy the game, simple as that.
They really needa fix true broadcast camera. It’s zoomed way too far out. The whole thing with originally taking it away was because they said we couldn’t see lmao. Give us nhl 22 true broadcast please ☹️
really wish we were able to use LT like we used to and I don’t even try to exploit it bc I play franchise.
also wish protect the puck was still the A button
