Something changed in the gameplay...

So no feedback on my videos? You asked for some videos. 

I actually see it the same way, but at least the bug is gone that the gameplay settings before and in the match were constantly reset to default! (Learning AI and AI strength put down by half)

But also on half of the standard AI settings unfortunately I currently do not have the feeling drn guest you sank exactly as you wanted it and in it is jahuuu .. , but no the best shooters meet either ernen. Player, or the goalkeeper fishes him away, goals fall you mean by chance or distraction so my star players have almost no goals on their account but the players of rows 3 and 4, with whom the goalkeepers do not seem to be serious and absent with regular own goals incl. !

In short, the AI plays unfairly again, felt 80-90% of all passes / shots are intercepted / blocked. Even unsustainable and additional shot are parried, then the AI runs on my goal to a 2-3 body illusion in it eat the thing and everyone can do that in league 2 ... I try this even with top players I either lose the punk or hang on an opponent / fellow player and does not come from the spot ..

I want to be challenged by the AI yes preferably even to be defeated, what I do not want is to be cheated or to be favoured by the AI with goals that are impossible in the last game and now fall by themselves

I play EA NHL actually are their first part on the SNES and are NHL14 now again every single series offshoot

NHL 20 and NHL 22 (until both games were patched) were so much fun!

Please orient yourself to it.. sometimes less complicated is better... what good is the mega racket tricks if 90% play hybrid, and this year you can do even less than before! That starts with the passing and stops at the blatant goal Dekes .. and in between lies a mege!

Ps: NHL 21 is not even mentioned because of the then missing XBOXOneX (NHL20 had it) support and the so blatant regression to the previous year and should not be forgotten, and not to mention it anywhere to offer it as a full price game! Shame on you )

Ps: small question why do the jerseys look just at the presentation and jersey choice even on a Series X as if they were made of a large shoe box ... or a tank! Back then in NHL 20 (XoneX optimised) it looked much more realistic and better! If only with the current jerseys of each team (+ one Adidas jersey per team)

Sounds strange but is unfortunately sad truth (I mean optically only the jersey not the rest !!)

more and more people learning the speed glitches exploits that somehow, EA leaves in game each year. 

After playing about 75+ games in offline - I don't feel the game is any faster, I think for me its more that I have adjusted to the different speed of the game and learned how to utilize line changes to give myself a boost over the AI. So it may look like its faster but I am just used to how it plays now. 

As mentioned previously, nothing has changed with gameplay speed. We are specifically avoiding doing that. I'm not guaranteeing it will never change, but it hasn't so far. As with every year, the community adjusts and adapts to the new gameplay. The speed has not been modified from launch.

Launch gameplay: Full Game of NHL 25 Against Superstar AI 

I think the change was AI skater speed w/o the puck. Puck speed itself also appears to be faster 

There is a real possibility that we have all played enough games to this point and have gotten used to / adjusted to how it plays. Now it just feels natural like every NHL does a few weeks in.  

• GAMESPEED need to be tuned down
• PASSING is weird. Lots of missed passed (tuning doesnt help). I totally agree with you that passes not connecting anymore.
• BUMP / Hitting is because the power of the truculence. We played lots of 6v6 matches CHEL where opponent did hit everything and every situation. 60 hits game. 2 penalties. In real life every single player from the opponent team would be in penalty box at least 5 times in this match.. Lots of hitting behind etc. Truculence power is way too high. More hitting penalties please.
• That stupid big tipper need to be removed

Lots of matches where is only speed skating and wrist shots from the blue line because of big tipper.
