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.

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
