septicon. There are just 3 abilities i attest too, as the others have no gauge to judge their accuracy. Those are Acceleration. Speed. And Endurance. Try to put players on your team that have speed. As this will equalize or make you equal to what the AI throws at you. The game is about possesion. The more you possess the puck, the more you deplete the stamina of your opposition. As for puck control. Adjust your strategies, so that your team doesnt bunch when you have control of the puck. Passing. A major factor when controlling a game. The more you pass, the greater the chance that the opposing team, begins to chase. Which opens up your passing lanes to other players. Remember. You dont need big name NHL players to acquire speed. The AI doesnt know one player (name wise) from another. It only knows the algorithims set up for it. You mentioned losing the puck easily. Before your game, check the stats of your opposition. If their players speed is superior to yours, thats your reason. Its a fight fire with fire scenario. Match speed to speed, and you will see a difference in your players being able to allude the opposition. The game takes practice. Tinkering with strategies. Player combos, offensive and defensive setups, will help to give you a foundation to compete equally. Practice certain moves, till you get them down pat. Another way of control. Good luck in improving your game. Im sure with time and practice. You will begin to excel level to level. One last thing. Lower the level you are currently playing at, to rookie. This level is like a practice level. You can learn to adjust and compete. When you feel you are getting better. Advance a level. Have to learn to walk before you can run, sort of thing.
Wow. Thanks a lot for taking so much time to help me out. What you wrote makes a lot of sense. EA_Aljo also mentioned passing and it seems to be a key. I will try to implement your tips when I practice. But to be honest, at this point I stopped playing NHL 25 since a while. First it is the old version and EA and/or Microsoft seems not willing to bring NHL 26 to GamePass Ultimate with the CloudGaming option. I do not own a console and am not planning to buy one either. This means, I would almost waste time with practicing NHL 25 (even when the skills might well transfer to NHL 26 or even NHL27) not knowing if I will ever see a new version in the future. I am at the point, where I probably only play occasionally mostly BAP and wait if we will get a PC version or if the new owners continue with the current way of pushing pay to win and making money with HUT. In any case, thank you for your support. I appreciate it.

Anytime bud. Perhaps looking at a refurbished PS5 which is a lot less in price. And as for the game. Always cheapest at Boxing day. Or Black Friday. I do realize you have been a player of NHL games for years. It is unfortunate, that EA cant, or wont extend the gaming platform to other venues. Such as going back to a computer version. I do hope, you are able to stay in the game, and continue playing the sports game you are most passionate about. Always here should you need any additional assistance.
