What happened to NHL25?
I can't be the only one to think this years game started great but is now seemingly heading slowly back toward feeling like NHL 24 gameplay/sliders, etc. Especially after the latest patch that dropp...

A lot of your complaints are skill issues.
Goalies save insane shots from up close but for some reason a flick up on the stick from the point goes in everytime.
This is not true
Poke checking is awful
It works just fine if you take the time to master it.
if I speed boost LT and face the boards I can bait a tripping call 90% of the time
Sounds like you're playing against players who don't understand this and are below your skill level. Try playing stiffer competition against players who know you're trying to bait them.

Skill issue.
The better player doesn't even win anymore.
Skill Issue.
Take a shot from anywhere on the ice at an impossible angle and the shot will bounce off the goalies arm or shoulder and he spins backwards and it goes in. It's a 50% chance you win even if you dominate the game.
Not true and again, points to a skill issue.
It's such a boring game to play that has killed off casual fan base and just kept the players that love to abuse broken mechanics, you even got the twitch streamers that can't even say anything positive about it. I haven't even touched how bad the passing and player switching is.
Player switching is great once you master RS player switching. But, this takes time and practice and if you're out to be dominant the instant you open the game, then this skillset isn't for you.
If anything, the drop in Twitch viewership has more to do with the streamers themselves. You ever tune into a stream these days? A kid sitting in a dark room with the glow of his monitor showing his expressionless face while periodically checking their phone like they're Jack Bauer waiting for a call from The President.
Naw, that's a 'nope' for me dawg and I suspect the Twitch user-base is growing up a little and has less time for cringey, over the top 'streamers' trying to farm engagement rather than produce quality content.
Can we see some video of u proving all these wrong instead of saying "skill issue" or "not true" it would help others understand better how truly gifted and skilled you are at this game
How exactly would I get video to prove that "Goalies save insane shots from up close but for some reason a flick up on the stick from the point goes in everytime. " is a lie? Maybe you should pop into this thread, because that OP claims shots in-close are almost 100% guaranteed goals. Should I just post a bunch of clips of me taking shots on a goalie and the goalie saving them? What does that prove exactly?
"Poke checking is awful"
Okay.. so here's a clip of it not being awful
"if I speed boost LT and face the boards I can bait a tripping call 90% of the time"
Because of another topic on this, I'm going to begin capturing moments where I defend this. Stay tuned.
Captured something similar and you can see I successfully used my stick to squash the play without taking a penalty
The better player doesn't even win anymore.
How should I record that?
