A lot of bugs in NHL 25 - very old

Please fix the following in NHL 25 - all known issues on XBOX.

Some of the bugs a old (I had NHL 22 + NHL 23, not NHL 24) and it's so basic, it's ridiculous!

  1. Save preferences doesn't work - this is new in NHL 25:
    1. "Penalties" under "Rules" (0/4 - 4/4) keeps resetting to 3/4 setting.
    2. "Post whistle rules" under "Rules" keeps resetting to "Relaxed".
    3. Goalie "Hug post" setting keeps resetting to "Auto". This is a useless setting that should never have been introduced if the people creating the game actually played the game! Remove it if you can't deploy correctly!
    4. Goalie "Thether" setting keeps resetting to "On". This is a useless setting that should never have been introduced if the people creating the game actually played the game! Remove it if you can't deploy correctly!
    5. There is no rhyme or reason as to when the above resets; sometimes I can play two games in a row, and the settings are kept in second game, but some are reset at third game. Hug post and tether (the useless function which you need to disable if you wan't to play goalie) always follows each other.
  2. OLD bug NHL 22, 23 + 25: Announcers keeps referring to player as "Rookie" if the player changes color on equipment - this has been a known issues for YEARS!
  3. OLD bug NHL 22, 23 + 25: Game sliders doesn't effect CPU as it should:
    1. If I have CPU Goalie reaction times to 0 it can still make saves even if I set Shot Power + Slap Shot Power to 100 - way better reaction time than a Human Goalie at 100. Anything less than shot power at 40, and my CPU teammates can't even score at Rookie setting with CPU Difficulty at 0/6!!!!
    2. When Shot Power and Slap Shot Power is sat at 0, the CPU can still fire shots randomly at 1000 km/t and outscore a 90+ human goalie with all sliders at 100!!!
    3. If I have all Human Goalie slides to 100, the CPU can still easily score - even if correct positioned with a 90+ Goalie and 3 X-factor/Superstar (butterfly, light work and sponge) abilities!
    4. New in NHL 25: No penalties! I have played 4 complete seasons without a single penalty in either end: All slider settings are maxed out: Each penalty type and CPU Penalties is at 100) and Penalties setting under "Rules" is 4/4!
  4. OLD bug NHL 22, 23 + 25: In general BAP as a goalie is unbalanced - the opposing team has very difficult making it to your end to make shots and saves (very boring) - the shots statistics typically ramp up to 4-5x for own time vs. opposing team! If sliders are moved so the CPU can make it to your end, they can just score at vhim even if all "Human goalie" sliders are at 100, and shots power sliders are at 0. The opposing team is very reluctant to even take a shot - and when they do, they often defies all slider settings or move unhindered to the crease and make moves own CPU teammates can't.
    1. Make a fun game with goalie BAP - try to play it and you'll see how unbalanced it is.

Haven't you tested NHL 25 at all before releasing it? There are even more bugs in NHL 25 than any previous releases - not a single critical one has been fixed + new added!!!

And why haven't you fixed the bugs that are years old, dating back to NHL 22 (at least).

PS: Don't you dare ask for more explanation or documentation - because all of the above bugs are known!!!

  • Just tried playing today - the above hasn’t been fixed yet. 

  • Still not solved!

    At Rookie CPU difficulty 0/6, I get cleaned out. Opponent wins 19 out of 22 face offs. Scores easily with 0/100 power. Saves easily shots when adjusted to 100/100 shot power and 0/100 reactions times.

    And fix “Grudge matches” - in BAP in season 2 there’s nothing else. Funny enough you’ll play teams more than once + from former season, so after 1/3 of a season there’s only grudge matches, where the result is completely random due to overpowered players. 

  • At the above easiest setting, Bedard just score each time he get it in his backhand - again with 0/100 Shot power, my Goalie at 90+ with all reaction time sliders at 100.

    I have a ticket for support but it says “Waiting on Player” but I can’t “resume” the case.

    Come on EA - respond to tickets!!!!!!!!!! And these critical errors you made knowingly.
