Rant
I never thought I would find myself on a forum on EA’s website but if it helps them see it then here goes nothin. NHL 25 is seriously the worst experience I’ve had with a video game EVER. Skating is ...

I can’t score on the opposing goaltender no matter what I do.
You need to generate better chances.
Passes are picked off no matter where on the ice they are.
Just need to stop forcing passes. Take your time.
. Opponents are making insanely unrealistic shots
How so?
It’s unplayable.
There are thousands of players enjoying this game, just online, at any given moment.
I get what you’re trying to do here and I appreciate it. But in the same token you have got to stop being so delusional. Just because it (maybe) works for you doesn’t mean it’s right. It’s not just me, either. Go look at the google reviews literally right now. The 1 stars severely outweigh the 5 stars and the rest. I have tried literally every strategy and build in this 3s mode and have the same issues over and over and over again. It’s not fun and you cannot change my mind about it right now.
It's perspective. We all have views /opinions on how the game is, which we are all allowed to have, no one side should be deemed delusional. To defer one game style is right and the other is wrong isn't that great either, as to some an arcade style experience is boring, unrewarding and lackluster, but find simulated a more rewarding and difficult experience.
To that point, I can say the same thing that NHL 23 was completely unplayable, boring and not worthwhile to play.

What would really help is getting some video showing what you're experiencing. We can only draw our own conclusions based on what you're saying when compared to our own experiences.

If I press RT and aim to my right-wing and the pass goes there, that means I'm utilizing the passing mechanic properly. If I press RT and aim to my right-wing and the pass doesn't go there, that means I screwed up the process somewhere or my opponent read the play and intercepted. It does not mean the mechanic isn't working properly.
Go look at the google reviews literally right now.
People taking L's in competitive sweats will spitefully submit negative reviews in a fit of anger. User-based reviews that can be submitted anonymously by players that don't need to demonstrate they are skilled at the game or even need to demonstrate they've even played the game, should mean literally nothing. People will give a 0-star rating because they just spent $200 trying to unlock some prime McDavid card. And when they do, only to get smoked by a kid with a team OVR of 80, they'll try to convince everyone that EA is out to get you and your family.

This is a subjective opinion. Why would I change your mind about something that you're in total control of? There are thousands of players getting enjoyment from the game at any given moment but just because YOU'RE not having fun.. the entire game is "not right"?
That's delusional.
Yes but they make the game a pay to play or pay to advance game. My team consists of 95% AHL players and I get put up vs a team that is all NHL and 85+. It's ridiculous tbh. Kinda wish I hadn't bought it now. And this was the reason I didn't play the last 2 versions. They need to do a better job putting you against the same type of teams. Makes it useless and not fun getting smoked every time
This is a HUT-Specific issue. Ultimate Team modes are killing sports videogame franchises. EA is matching you up against teams of NHLers to entice you to spend $$$ to unlock the packs you need to get to the same 'level'.
I will always tell everyone that HUT does not resemble this sport well at all. No parity between player attributes lends itself to one of the most over the top arcade experiences being passed off as 'realism' to unbeknownst players who only have passive interest in OVP, World of Chel or offline modes designed to get the most out of the gameplay.
HUT is designed to get the most $$$ out of people, not to provide any kind of realism.
