Re: NHL 25 Reveal Trailer

@Stubo_NHL24 

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? 

@kyl_35 

I don't have a deep dive schedule. Soon as I do, I'll get it posted.

Really hoping Full presentation with better longer intros and goalie stats before the game is now in the game again with going over only tp PS5 and Xbox One.Would be so neat with the upgrade graphics.

Is the pressure system and total control in this game? @EA_Aljo

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. 

With NHL 25 launching as early as the 27th in September  I believe it would be safe to say the Deep Dives will be coming soon since we got like 5 weeks left.  Just keeps a heads up on YouTube channel and subscribe to get alerts.  https://www.youtube.com/@easportsnhl

Also follow NoSleeves as he goes well into details about the Deep Dives usually with sometimes more information.  https://www.youtube.com/@SleevelessGaming

AI thing could be huge but ultimately it could be the exact same selling point as the last ten years. It's obvious every year they pitch improved AI. 

Let's hope for some real effort here, especially in net since that got a huge downgrade this past year. 

@EA_Aljo 

Can the pressure system be turned on/off?

@jjbyrd04 

I'm assuming not, but am looking into it. I would be surprised if this was added.

But like, the pressure system on the ice and the new control layout were 2 of the biggest complaints since release and they're not even making it an option? What about the dancing, fortnite, and pond hockey crap, has that at least been removed? Or matchmaking, penalties, menus, has any of this been addressed? Unbelievable that we're in a stage when you've already dropped preorders and we have no idea if basic issues will be addressed.

@TheUnusedCrayonI mean the AI thing will probably always be subjective but Aljo seems to hint that they made some good improvements.

It's literally every year that they say they improved ai, and have some new flashy word like "ice-q"

@KlariskraysNHL I mean, getting an interference penalty in front of the opposing net because holding L2 to shoot instead of hit still hasn't been resolved? Seems like a good start? Or how about when there's a shove animation that somehow hits the player behind you resulting in a penalty? None of this ringing a bell? 

@KlariskraysNHL no I'm talking about when you do a shove animation instead of shooting and magically push a player that's standing behind you
