@EA_Aljo Ok thanks for the bit of info.
So it isn’t really new foundational AI, it’s just tweaked AI. The wording they use is pretty misleading as new foundational AI is much more interesting than the old AI being tweaked like they say they do most years.
Improved AI is the proper term they should use but it’s not very flashy to put into a trailer to get people to want to buy it I guess.
I watched the video, says something about a Franchise remodel, but nothing else. That’s a bit concerning since he went into all the other modes that received attention, but nothing about FM.
Looks like Be a Pro was either ignored again since it’s downgrade in .. 21 I think, can’t remember. Or he forgot/left it out since he is an online player.
With the new modes for online players, and the battle pass/season system they are introducing, it doesn’t bode very well for the offline players.
I’m assuming the worst in the FM remodel, where it’s probably a stripped down, flashier but emptier version of its old self. Kinda like what they did with BAP.
I’d be surprised if they made any good changes and I’d definitely welcome them, but I’m not holding my breath. Hopefully those deep dive videos come out soon so offline players can see if it’s worth it or not.
I pray they don’t preorder lol but I think lots of people learned not to preorder after 24’s launch

Community ManagerThe changes to AI are bigger than you're assuming. There will be more on this down the road.
Is the pressure system and total control in this game? @EA_Aljo

Sorry, but I can't answer that. I really don't have any other detail besides what's already been announced. If it wasn't discussed in the launch trailer or any of the videos put out by members of the Design Council, it'll have to wait for future reveals.

Any idea when the deep dives are coming?

Yes. Here's some more on that:
We have continued to tune the pressure system alongside of the new gameplay features that are being introduced with NHL 25. The goal was to maintain the integrity of the system which we tuned with community feedback over the course of the NHL 24 cycle. We have made some tuning changes to maintain its state against the new features coming in NHL 25. One notable improvement is that when the attacking team manages to trigger sustained pressure, they will receive some stamina back to their players giving them a small but meaningful sense of gaining a second wind as they push for a goal. - Mike Inglehart, Senior Game Design Director for EA SPORTS NHL
After watching the trailer a few times , it kinda seems to be two new commentary people calling the plays and goals . Can it be confirmed if they changed commentary?
I do like the graphics can't wait to see gameplay trailer/deep dive to see everything together.
