Players Backing Out
I’m so sick of the constant rage quit, people backing out the last second, all you will ever see in this game is people quitting out. It’s makes this game so annoying to play and overall EXTREMELY HARD to put up with. Why isn’t there penalties for quitting out ALL the time? Why can’t there be like a 30 min timeout from searching or whatever. There will be times you will be searching in Lobby for OVER AN HOUR because people back out from seeing the other team. Or you get a full team matched up and at puck drop there’s 2 Human players. Like what is that? What happened to this game? There has to be some fix in the future for NHL games. Because this makes me not want to buy this game anymore. And I’ve been playing since NHL ‘14. I love this game but jeez man, COME ON!!NHL 26 and future
Hello EA, I want this brand to grow and I feel like there are a few things you guys need to do to make this game more hype able. There are features removed and installed that need to be looked at. #1 You guys have got to put a 6s and 3s and 5s league (CPU G) ERP you can charge for it. The most popular feature in this game is the 6v6 but with all the ways the leagues struggle to keep stats track IPs etc. You've got to put into your game. You can charge for erp upgrades. I'm sure more established leagues will pay more for features like complete club arenas jerseys etc. You've got to make it easier for new players to get into the 6v6 game, I suggest a good tutorial or practice on how to play defense effectively, breakouts, traps etc. The 6v6 is what will bring in new players and keep the old ones. #2 UI Menues and dressing rooms have got to be fixed. There is no excuse for someone to have to go to a different screen just to change there load outs in Dressing rooms, there is no excuse for a DR to not be functioning as it should. #3 I feel like gameplay isn't too bad. The annoying goals that slide underneath the goalies is ridiculous and you have got to fix that. The one timer needs to be a little more effective not the shot but the ability to take the shot. There is a reason ovechkin is NHLs record holder in goals. Every year there is this problem with hitting. Either people get boarded and there is no calls or truculence gold is a thing. There is a reason truculence is banned in so many leagues. It's stupid. The change to the L2 pivoting system was a good move and the right one. I like how it is now and so do most people. #4 The skater pre builds are dumb. And going in the wrong direction. We've had discussions in our ps parties about how ridiculous the idea is. How there would be no reason to spend money on these. What you need to do is scrap the MW3 idea and look more at growing your 6v6 communities through leagues. Also people who want to play 6v6 can't stand the pre builds cause they don't even really give an edge but are annoying as he'll in a 6v6 pub.Ivan Demidov in NHL 25?
You had to know it was coming. What should his #NHL25 Rating be? 🤔 After his debut tonight, and the tweet from the EA NHL team... is it possible we see Demidov added to the game in a future roster update? I know there are licensing issues and whatnot, but now that Demidov is in the NHL does EA have the ability to add him in this game or would we have to wait until NHL 26 to see Demidov in the roster? I'm expecting that we'd have to wait until NHL 26 but if he can somehow be added to NHL 25 that'd be amazing 🤩Updated Sens Ratings IMO before 2024-25 Playoffs
Tkachuk: 90 OVR Stutzle: 90 OVR Ullmark: 89 OVR Sanderson: 88 OVR Chabot: 87 OVR Giroux: 87 OVR Cozens: 86 OVR Batherson: 86 OVR Pinto: 85 OVR Zub: 85 OVR Perron: 85 OVR Jensen: 83 OVR Zetterlund: 82 OVR Greig: 82 OVR Amadio: 81 OVR Forsberg: 81 OVR Matinpalo: 78 OVR Gaudette: 77 OVR Kleven: 76 OVR Hamonic: 76 OVR Highmore: 75 OVR (LTIR- Cousins: 79 OVR)Roster update before world juniors?
Will there be a roster update before the world juniors start? there are players who should be in the game that have been named to world juniors rosters and i assume the roster guy is working on those rosters would be easy if those could be added in since i want to create my own roster for the world juniors. examples: rasmus bergkvist who played 25 games with skelleftea isn‘t in the game. Gian Meier(Frölunda) Nily Rhyn,Alain Graf (SC Bern) Vojtech Cihar (Energy karlovy vary) Viggo Gustafsson(Timra IK) If the goal is to do a roster update i can make a complete list of these players. there are even players who have been in previous games that aren‘t on the rosters that they should be on. Like Loris Wey and robin nico antenen for EV Zug(both NHL 24), Matteo Wagner for AIK(NHL 24(25 on the WJC team Switzerland),Kimo Gruber for ZSC (NHL 23), Aris Häfliger ambri Piotta(NHL 24), Vojtech Husinecky Litvonov(NHL 24) EA_Aljo
Suggestions for Career and Franchise Mode Improvements in NHL 26
The Career mode in NHL 25 lacks several key elements to make the experience more immersive and realistic. It would be beneficial to add richer interactions between the player, the coach, the managers, and the team. Currently, the training sessions are too limited and could be much more realistic and impactful on player development. Additionally, allowing players to start very young, at age 14, in summer camps or junior leagues, would add a deeper dimension to a player's career. Furthermore, the Franchise mode could be improved by allowing players to start in any league, including those not currently available in the game. This would provide more diversity and strategic choices, allowing players to build a career at their own pace and create new dynamics for each team. These improvements would greatly enrich the overall experience of the game, offering more flexibility and opportunities to shape the player's journey. While it may be too late for NHL 25, these suggestions could be considered for NHL 26 if the developers are open to them. I hope a dev will answer my message or not :D

Anyone else having major issues finding games? I have played 3 games that last 3 hours. I get stuck with people leaving the lobbies, and when I do find a game it's unfair matchmaking. 6v6 takes forever! Same with 3v3. Fix these issues EA! Maybe fill the lobbies with bots? Or when a player leaves the Lobby don't make it corrupt the whole search.
Bring NHL back to PC – Crossplay potential
Hello EA Sports NHL Team, I have been a loyal NHL fan since NHL 07 on PC. After that, I played every NHL game on PS3, PS4, and PS5, buying each new release. But now that I’ve switched to PC, I can’t play NHL anymore, and I really miss it. I truly believe NHL on PC has great potential, especially with crossplay. Many PC players want to play with their friends on consoles, both together in online clubs and against each other. If crossplay works in FIFA and NBA, why not in NHL? Eventually, it will have to happen, so why not now? By not releasing NHL on PC, you are losing dedicated fans who have simply moved to a better platform for graphics and performance. It’s frustrating that I can no longer enjoy NHL with my friends like before. My friend and I used to create an online club—me as a Center, him as a Goalie—and we had so much fun playing together. Now, I have no way to experience that, and I know I’m not the only one in this situation. I don’t want to buy a console just for NHL, and I don’t want to be forced to just watch others play while I sit out simply because I chose to game on PC. Please consider bringing NHL back to PC with full crossplay support. There is a demand for it, and many fans would love to see it happen. Thank you for your time.
