NHL 25 ADD THESE FEATURES!
NHL 25 MUCH NEEDED FEATURES!
Please read…
Realistic broadcasting package and overhaul is very much needed at this point! We want to see more realism in this game. A hockey simulator. Plain and simple. Broadcast camera view post game highlights. Pregame warm ups and player features like you see on ESPN and TNT. Realistic cut scenes. Add zambonis during intermission. Add features similar to how FC 24 does it during halftime. Scrap the action tracker and use the broadcast camera for the highlights. Realistic post game highlights and please please please fix all your replays they are absolutely terrible at the moment.
Remove all the cheesy player intros and cellys. Have players in locker rooms taping their sticks or simply just getting warmed up before skating onto the ice. Either during pregame or intermissions.
Goal celebrations. Make it so that all players can skate and hug after a goal or get rid of the NHL 24 goal celebration cut scene. People just want to see and experience realistic cellys the same way you would see it on TV.
Referee breaking up fights and improve player scrums after whistles the same way you would see it on TV. We want the refs to get involved!
PLEASE fix the auto shot animation. You can’t cancel a shot and it’s very frustrating!!
Player jerseys moving up and down the ice
Have the option to unlock NHL Arenas in WOC clubs
Add more player customization options for WOC.
VERY IMPORTANT and NEEDED:
1. If a player lags out in WOC there should be an option to return back into the game using a PIN code during private games and the player would rejoin on next whistle. This will help improve leagues and better the experience.
2. If a game is still tied. There should be an option or a vote to either a) Continuous OT b) 5 min OT then shootout if still tied. This would also help improve leagues and user experience.
3. I’ll say it again. Cancel auto shot animation!!
4. Option to shoot pucks around with other players in lobby while waiting for others to join. Somewhat like free skate but how you would see it in a real pregame using multiple pucks and empty net.
Guys, this is all eye candy but it’s SUPER important to add the little things and bring out the realism that you would see watching a real game on TV. People want a simulator not an arcade game and sadly to say it feels like a broken arcade game atm. User experience is key and the only way to drive more demand is to make this game come true to life. Realism!
If doing this I can guarantee you it will change the outlook of the franchise moving forward and help improve the user experience.
Thanks EA!
