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 ...

It's all about defensive positioning and momentum.. if their goalie makes a big save it gives them momentum to skate faster and pass better .. then the one-tee is quite over powered if you time it perfectly... and that's all about getting open on offense or taking up space so your teammates can make plays... it's really a simple game ... the goalies could be a bit better in some situations.. backhand for example.. but if you don't jump to hit and miss or try and poke check constantly.. your goalie will make plays .. also getting in opponents shooting lanes to slow the shots down or block to corners helps goalie and your team...
So if you don’t poke check or hit people coming down the ice at all, how is that supposed to make it better for the goalie? Then they have free rein on him and will most certainly score. I get what they’re trying to do with the goalies and how they react to seem more realistic. But it’s not fun or sometimes realistic. Last night some kid on a team one tee’d from the red line literally 3 times in a row behind the goaltender. Stuff like that just doesn’t happen

Hey there. There is no momentum of this kind in the game. There only is the momentum at which your player is moving.
Maybe not momentum specifically.. but can skate back stop the guy right before the goalie on the back check... turn around and call for puck from goalie and change the momentum
Usually results in a 3-4 pass goal or breakaway if you miss your defensive check or coverage by jumping
