Re: NHL 25 thoughts?
I only play CHEL so my thoughts are strictly for that and I am not sure if they cross over. Overall, this is the best version of the game since 2019, and miles better than the disasters of 20 & 21.
The main tweaks are in game play:
- AI defensemen need consistency based on what your setting are at.
- Goalies, the pressure system is in a good place, but goalies still make too many boneheaded mistakes. Such as someone dumps the puck and the goalie stands there watching go off the boards off his skate and in
- The boarding calls are absolutely horendous, you can hit someone chest to chest but if its by the boards its 50/50 you get called.
- Player game misconducts need to be brought back for several reasons
- To stop the 20 fights a game
- Reduce the 5 minute long injuries
In terms of Club Creation - There should be a coin, points system, some hybrid or anything really that allows you to pick what uniforms you get rather than it being all chance.
