Community ManagerNHL 25 Gameplay First Look
Hey, NHL Fans! Check out some NHL 25 Gameplay with Nasher and the Hughes Brothers.
Forum Discussion
For those that were asking about the speed boost checking. Yes its still in the game (@3mins).
Thats unbelievable considering the reaction from the community.
EA_Aljo can we get feedback from the devs why this is still in the game even though the community asked for it to removed. We were told last year that after it was removed that so many people complained that it was added again. I've seen far more posts asking for it to be removed. Actually I seen next to no posts on Reddit, Twitter or the EA forum asking for it to be added again.

Community ManagerWe don't have any details on hitting in 25. We'll have to wait for more details to be released or wait for feedback from the community when early release happens Friday.
When the change was made, it ended up causing new issues so we had to revert it back for the duration of 24. I'll report back if I can share anything about hitting in 25.
It's safe to assume the community manager has played the game by now, right? Considering people like Nasher and Eki and Sleeveless have already? I don't understand why you aren't able to relay YOUR experience with hitting.
Sadly just because we have played stuff it doesn't mean we can openly talk about things unless they were showcased and/or we get the OK to talk about.

My experience with hitting is that it's improved. It flows a lot better. It doesn't feel so assisted. However, I also never noticed the speed boost previously. I never caught up to anyone using it. I also tend to hit from the front/side though so maybe I wouldn't notice as much. Regardless, I wasn't a fan of hitting in 24, I like it a lot better in 25.
That would certainly be appreciated! Thanks!
I take back what I said. Watching some gameplay just now and I don't see any speed boost. If its there its minimal.
