Community ManagerNHL 25 Grudge Match Reveal
Here's a peek at the new Grudge Match feature coming to NHL 25.
Forum Discussion
The intro animation is immersion breaking on several levels. Several payers in the team-up shot are not handed the correct orientation (Boeser is shooting left, Miller right). Why do the solo shots of the featured players not have sticks? Have you ever seen something like this intro pack on a hockey broadcast? I'm open minded to the new feature. But like... Why? Why this? Of all the things to with presentation and intros? Why can't we just have hockey as it is? Did this test well with some focus group?
Focus group? LOL
LOL, are you implying that they don't focus-test the game? They MUST...
Regardless, I agree with hdce. Why do the shot callers at EA Sports feel that the fanbase wants this? I think a more realistic TV-like intro package (maybe even using IRL footage) would do MUCH better both on these forums AND in the eyes of the general public.
