NHL 25 Forces Console Upgrade & Lacks Offline Arcade

Question

Hi EA team,I recently bought NHL 25 for my son and was very disappointed to realize, only after the purchase, that it doesn't work on Xbox One S — unlike previous versions. I had to buy an Xbox Series S just to make it run. Honestly, the graphics are not fundamentally different to justify dropping support for Xbox One. Why make that choice?To make things worse, we found out that Arcade mode isn't available offline.&nbsp; So I paid full price for a game, but I can't even access all game modes unless I pay an additional fee? That's extremely frustrating — especially for families who don't want to, or simply can't afford to, pay a constant subscription fee to Microsoft (or Sony) just to access all the content.Please make all game modes available offline in NHL 26.Thanks for your understanding&nbsp;

Hi there. I'm very sorry to hear about the frustration. It's understandable if Arcade is your favorite mode. I'd love to see this one be playable offline as well. I'll pass your feedback on to the team. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the series has been in a severe need of upgrades across the board and old gen soft/hardware is no exception. Most modes wouldn't really work offline but it definitely would be nice for modes like Arcade to fit that category
