DONT BUY 25
NHL 25 is the worst game EA has EVER made. I have been buying the game every year each year and it is very bad this year. Save ur money and go to 2K

Agree, I downloaded it for free on game pass last week and while it's fun to play because it's a hockey game it's terrible. Like every EA game especially the sports games. It's just the most unrealistic simulation every time and it's supposed to be realistic simulation sports play. What a freaking joke. I got an idea don't let the CPU skate faster in hockey or run faster in football with a player that has 10 to 15 speed points lower than the other person. Lol I mean in hockey the computer just ravaged you with hits all game long and you do a replay and they didn't even drop a shoulder that into a check. They just skated into you and half the time your players go down meanwhile 50% of the time when you actually get a good shot on a CPU player they're not even affected
And let's not even get started on the magical stick they can go through peoples legs and defender sticks without losing the puck, which makes this game **bleep**ing horrible. Am I still gonna play? Of course I don't have older versions. Am I gonna buy college football next year? Of course there's no other alternatives but it doesn't mean the game is good..

A game that's fun to play is still terrible? Make that make sense.

Fatigue is a factor. So are the routes taken while skating - limiting motions that interrupt your forward momentum. This hardly gets mentioned because people see attributes as black/white. They expect a player with 90 SPD to outskate a player with 80 SPD every single time. That's unrealistic. McDavid can be beat by inferior skaters at the end of his shifts in real life.

Sounds like you should lower the CPU difficulty level.

There's a nuanced answer to this, but you've made up your mind, so I won't waste your time.
