It's sad when the game is so dead u have to wait 30 minutes to find a game or play the same person 60 times in a row.Urgent Need to Address Menu Lag in NHL 25 and beyond.
Dear EA Sports Team, As a long-time fan of the NHL franchise, I want to begin by commending your efforts to deliver a fresh experience with NHL 25. However, like many players in the community, I’ve been frustrated by the persistent lag and sluggishness in the menu system The Problem Navigating the menus has become a tedious experience due to: 1.Slow Response Times: Whether I’m accessing the auction house, building my lineup, or navigating through event rewards, menus frequently lag or take several seconds to respond to inputs. 2.Unnecessary Delays: Animations, loading screens, and data fetching often make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily drawn out. 3.Performance Issues Across Platforms: While this problem is particularly noticeable on last-gen consoles (PS4/Xbox One), even current-gen platforms struggle, making it clear that the issue is systemic. Why This Matters Hockey Ultimate Team is a flagship mode for NHL 25. Its success depends on smooth, enjoyable user interaction. When basic navigation feels frustrating, it detracts from the overall experience and diminishes the fun of building and managing a team. For a mode that thrives on engagement, menu lag can lead to player burnout and a decrease in overall satisfaction. Potential Causes: While we, as players, don’t have access to the underlying systems, it seems like: Server-side dependency issues might be causing excessive load times when fetching data (e.g., auction house updates). Poor optimization of menu assets, animations, or database calls could be adding unnecessary strain on the system. Outdated frameworks or “spaghetti code” may be contributing to the sluggish performance. Constructive Suggestions for Improvement Here are a few ideas the development team might consider to help resolve these issues: 1.Optimize Client-Side Performance: Streamline UI assets and animations and implement lazy-loading for non-essential elements to reduce strain on hardware. 2.Enhance Server Efficiency: Use caching and batching to reduce the frequency of server calls for repetitive data (e.g., frequently accessed items in the auction house). 3.Increase Transparency: Keep the community updated with detailed notes on performance improvements in patches. Acknowledging and addressing the issue directly will build trust with the player base. 4.Focus on Testing and QA: Stress-test the system under heavy load to ensure it performs well during peak times. A Call to Action The NHL community deeply values this franchise, and we want to see it succeed. Addressing these menu issues isn’t just about improving functionality—it’s about respecting the time and investment of the players who support this series year after year. We hope to see this issue elevated to a top priority and addressed in upcoming patches. Thank you for taking the time to listen to our feedback, and we look forward to seeing improvements that will make NHL 25 even better. Sincerely, Fan since NHL94
New Cards not available
Day 3 since 9 IIHF Cards were released Unfortunately it is not possible to make these cards, let alone buy them. How can EA still not realize that fewer and fewer people are playing at this time of year and therefore fewer cards are available in the AH? It's the same problem every year. Why doesn't EA at least release guaranteed Frozen Forces packs? If you already release 80 HUT Verse Cards at the same time AND guaranteed packs ... logically everyone buys these packs and no others. How can other non-HUT Verse Cards be available in the AH if EA offers such packs and forgets that there is other content? It's so frustrating that EA releases cards and you can't get them no matter how many coins you have or points you buyDaily Hat Trick Cards - EA Blunder
Why is it that a card that takes 280 daily logins plus 20 objective collectibles so utterly useless compared to the current content released? 91 speed and acceleration on a 97 OVR card is such a joke. Do we have to wait for NHL 26 to be out for these cards to be useful enough to crack our lineups? HUT99 cards last year were at least accessible and useable by June and it’s July now. At a very minimum these cards should be 0AP like all your other ultimate MSPs.Squad Battles
I have had the same four or so teams generate in my squad battles for the last week. They are as follows. Team106 OVR 80 Team107 OVR 80 Team102 OVR 70 Team109 OVR 83 Team100 OVR 79 Team105 OVR 80 No matter how many times I refresh them, I get the same four teams. Occasionally, I have had an another team#, but it is usually the same four teams. Another odd thing that I started noticing was that it would show each team’s synergy, which it did not at all this year until just the last 7 to 10 days. It seems that I have had issues since I did the play testing last week. I deleted the play testing beta from. EA when I was finished.
