    It was great news when EA Sports announced that they were adding the PWHL to NHL 25.  At the same time, I realized that there are some things in player creation that should be updated.

    Player height:  When we now create players in NHL 25, minum height for the player is 5'5" (165 cm) and maximum height for the player is 6'9" (206cm) in player creation. I think minimum height  should be 4'11" (150cm) and maximum height should be 6'9" (206 cm) or 7'0" (213 cm). For example Kendall Coyne Schofield is 5'2" (157cm) tall and the another example Hall of Fame player and finnish female hockey legend Riikka Sallinen is 5'4" (163cm) tall. Like examples show 4'11" (150cm) would be better minimum height in  player creation.

    Player weight: When we now create players in NHL 25, minum weight for the player is 120 lbs (54,4 kg) and maximum weight for the player is 290 lbs (131,5 kg) in player creation. I think minimum height  should be 90 lbs (40,8 kg) and maximum weight should be 290 lbs(131,5 kg). For example Boston Fleet player Taylor Girard is 115 lbs (52,1 kg)  and Japanese national team player Yumeka Wajima is 106 lbs (48,0 kg) . Like examples show 90 lbs (40,8) would be better minimum weight in  player creation.

    PWHL in season mode will be great!!
    But I guess we will not be able to edit player ratings etc before going into the season mode.
    So we have to trust in EA´s choice of player raitings for these teams.....
    And EA are so GREAT at that for mens player ratings ;)

      What A surprise... I was right... we cant edit PWHL players rating at all... we cant edit PWHL rosters or lineups outside Play Now and Season mode, plyaoff mode etc...

      But we can trade players and add women free agents and edit some stuffs on players inside the season mode.

      BUT we cant create a custom women teams, for example Hv71 Womens teams and play against PWHL teams.
      Because the game doesnt recognize a created team full with only womens as a womens teams..... :(

      Please fix that for PWHL and Womens National Teams that they can play against custom womens created teams.

    It may just be me, but I don't see anything to do with the Road to 4 Nations and I don't think I've gotten the choice pack either, but the flyer says those would be available immediately.

    Where should we be looking? The way it's worded, "featuring in HUT, Play Now, Online Versus, and a bespoke Tournament mode.", is a bit confusing.

    The PWHL update today is obvious enough, though. Glad they're finally here. Some of those ladies were my money makers last season.

      Make sure you download the latest online roster from the Rosters screen.

        If the women are showing up, wouldn't that indicate I've done that already 🤔

        If not, could you please provide some details as to what you're asking me to do?

    Yes, I have can confirm I've already done this. 

    How can I double check if the jerseys are in the game? 

    And what about the face-off choice pack? I still haven't received this, as far as I'm aware.
