NHL 25 Gameplay First Look

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. 

That is a player lunging into a hit with force.  There isn't a speed burst.

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.

I take back what I said. Watching some gameplay just now and I don't see any speed boost. If its there its minimal. 

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!
