Didn't buy
Didn't buy this year's game. Likely won't buy next year's game.. Nearly every post on here confirms everything I believed. The devs have done so poorly that the player base is moving on. The sport...

Gameplay wise NHL24 and 25 are actually pretty good. Not perfect games and almost no innovation between the two, I would have liked to see more added abilities and not just the exact same copy and paste from last year. If they were all slightly changed or maybe even completely redone it would have been a nice addition to the game. Having exactly the same options as last year with a few exceptions is really boring.
Unfortunately though, the odds that you going to get your entire EASHL or WOC team in a game without Disconecting right away is nearly 0.
EA is aware of this issue since release but recommend we keep waiting for updates to see if they fix the issue. - Unacceptable and I wouldn't recommend buying for this reason, but the gameplay is alright.

This is actually happening for a relatively small number of players so chances are good that if you haven't experienced it, you'll be fine getting your entire team in a game. The configuration error/failed to retrieve data issue planned to be addressed in the January update. Having a player not advance with the rest of their team still needs to be investigated. I'll need more examples and video before we can do that.
Well I suppose if the OP wanted to buy NHL25 and then see if he is one of the small percentage of people who will not be able to play. But if he does, I can be sure no refund or gift will be issued of he finds himself unlucky.. And for that I would still have to recommend he doesn't get the game. Personally I would take my money back because I can't play, and no compensation has been offered. Just giving him an honest review and opinion!
If you enjoy playing against bots or offline perhaps give it a try! But if you want to play online, as I have previously said.. Don't
