So when are we getting any trailers?
The hype and information available for NHL 25 is the worst I've seen in 5 years. No beta and no trailers except for 1. What we have been shown in these trailers is terrible, especially regarding the ...

Honestly, if I had investors I would put together a team to create a game focused on what gamers are asking for, but sadly this is the real world, and that won't ever happen.

We would love to be able to accomplish everything everyone is asking for with every year. Unfortunately, that's not really possible with having an annual release. While there are additions and improvements every year that were requested by the community, we normally prioritize specific features with each release. For example, online modes were a bigger focus for 24 while we said offline modes would get attention later. We are listening and acting on community feedback. It just takes time.
A lot of the frustration I think right now is just the lack of updates to what is coming. Last year the new producers sat down and talked about more transparency. Shortly after 24 released it seemed like they were keeping their word and then silence.
This year they talked about a gameplay deep dive and came out with a 5 minute clip. They talked about a presentation deep dive. So far all I have seen is some screenshots and 15 second clips that dont even have sound. It’s just… embarrassing. I get that a lot of this likely has to do with the EA suits allocating money, but it really feels like theyre just trying to kill the game. I mean how are we 11 days away from release and still waiting on “deep dives” from 2 major modes?
The sit down interview they did last year was nice and seemed like they were changing things. Unfortunately it really seems like thats not coming. Just disappointing and makes spending the money on the new game feel wrong.

We're definitely not trying to kill the game. Significant work has gone in to NHL 25 and I'm looking forward to you all playing it. We'll have more revealed before launch
