HUT Season 3 has arrived!

Welcome to Season 3 of NHL 25 Hockey Ultimate Team. An all-new XP Path awaits along with weekly objectives and changes to the XP earn rate across various modes.

This season’s XP Path is highlighted by the 92 OVR Dylan Larkin and 85 OVR XP Players who can be upgraded to 90 OVR with XP Tokens gained through the XP Path.

Alongside the XP Path, we’re also releasing new Rivals-specific objectives and increasing the XP rate earned in Rivals games based on your division. We want to ensure that Rivals and online play become the most effective way to progress through the XP Path.

We’re also introducing additional objectives that reward XP for progressing through moments to help you progress through this season’s XP Path alongside Rivals/Squad Battles OBJ’s.

    Online will cry once again and they will change it once again to keep them streamers happy. It’s called a big L EA on season 3 Hut Squad Battles. You just showing favourites to online players with the loss of coins to offline players. Which in return is not treating your customers the same that called bing bias towards offline to online. We should have the same rewards as online. And it’s called discrimination towards offline players/paying customers.  Do we not have the same rights as online players yes we do.  Are you forcing online game play to offline players yes based on Hut Squad Battles season 3 you just broke your own policies EA is bias towards offline paying customers. 

    I want the same rewards as online players get I paid preorder price for the game cash for coins that’s my choice just like anyone else’s right.  I have a right to the same rewards EA if you don’t then your saying it with out saying it your catering to online and being bias towards offline paying customers. FIX it EA

    EA_AljoI appreciate that you care about our feedback and thank you for interacting with us. Availability is huge.

    Beyond this, it concerns me that the community manager engaging in the HUT forums does not know the reasons for such a large and player-type targeted change. That probably means that there is either no good reason and thus you were not made aware to enable you to say you do not know or that there is little to no interest within EA to support the HUT community meaningfully (arming you with the info about changes to help us understand).

    I look forward to a quick resolution of the reduction in squad battle rewards and other offline targetted reductions as the "https://www.ea.com/games/nhl/nhl-25/features/hut" page still clearly indicates EA's target idea that I bought this year's game for: "that every HUT mode rewards you the same, no matter where you play". This is huge for those who can only play a game mode that can be paused and resumed repeatedly as life dictates.

    Thanks for making NHL games and for including the PWHL. I am always open and willing to talk product features as a paying customer if you want.

    The big picture there is more offline players then there is online players why because offline players don’t like facing cheaters and glitchers and the last lag switchers and hackers can now even crash your internet if they are getting smoked by a person. EA forcing offline players online to play against that it’s called stress EA so if a offline player goes and plays online now and suddenly suffers a heart attack because of the stress of the game play and cheaters online and hackers.  That’s why EA wants is to stress your offline paying customers.  Good job EA you just showed us loyal OG paying customers you don’t care about your customers wants and needs when it comes to treatment that you just showed your offline paying customers big L EA

  • Fix the rewards. Are you guys trying to lose people or retain your player base. I don't have time to do rivals and sb every week, and there are people who don't even like or can't play online. Fix it or youre gonna lose even more of an already small player base.

    What happened to "play your way" it's now play how we tell you to... There's literally people who have no other option then to play offline, and now you guys just screwed half your base out of rewards. 

  • "We want to ensure that Rivals and online play become the most effective way to progress through the XP Path"

    Online play could of received an increase in XP without touching squad battles at all. I really hope this was just a bug, either way Squad battles XP should return to how it was at the very least, and if EA wants to apologize they can add more XP to squad battles for a week. But its EA so I  doubt they would even consider this.

  • Ah they quietly fixed this and reverted the squad battles XP. Have not seen anything on here aside from different posts from other players saying it has been fixed. Checked it myself though and Squad battles XP is back to how it was!

    Thank you. The constructive feedback is appreciated. 

    There was reasoning in the blog as to why this change was initially made. I also couldn't provide further comments while the team was looking into making changes that eventually went through.

    We had posted the reasons for the initial change in the blog. Regardless, these changes have been reverted. Hopefully, we'll do a better job of communicating changes in the future.
