Fights locks up the screen for several minutes!
This must have been happened when we did the last update before summer. Now when you fights the function for changing lines stopps working and when the period ends the screen locks up for about 5-10 minutes and after that you enter the period paus dashboard. If you try to enter the paus screen manually it’s the same - the screen locks! This is really frustrating! For your information - we have only played in the Franchise mode! Don’t know if this problem also pops up in others modes.
Franchise mode splash windows and game freezing
Dear EA Sports Support Team, I am experiencing multiple recurring issues in NHL 25 that significantly impact gameplay. Below are the key issues and steps to reproduce where applicable: 1. Line Change & Tactics Window Freezing Issue: Splash windows for line changes and tactics sometimes get stuck, making it impossible to change lines or adjust strategies. Reproducibility: Occurs randomly, but frequently enough to disrupt gameplay. Video: https://youtu.be/i9MMMopxcWI 2. "Coming Up Matches" Window Not Displaying Correctly Issue: The in-game "Coming Up Matches" window sometimes does not show at all or gets stuck on the screen. Reproducibility: Happens inconsistently but has occurred in multiple games. Video: https://youtu.be/tNeuE7B8orw 3. Last Scorer UI Overlapping Match Details Issue: The last scorer’s details remain stuck in the top left corner, covering important match information such as the game clock and score. Reproducibility: Happens intermittently. 4. Promotional Events Not Displaying Properly Issue: During events like "Bobble Head Night," the announcers mention the promotion, but when the camera pans to show the bobblehead, the game lags, and the promotional content does not appear. Reproducibility: Occurs every time a promotional event is triggered. 5. Major Issue – Line Energy Freeze After Fights Issue: After fights, the line energy display becomes stuck and does not update. Can't change lines or tactics. The only ways to remove the frozen UI are: • Waiting until the period ends, which results in a freeze lasting several minutes. • Pressing the options button, which also causes a freeze for several minutes. Reproducibility: This issue happens without fail in every match after a fight in Franchise mode. Video - If I hit options button: https://youtu.be/wJvl-p3u11U Video - If I do nothing: https://youtu.be/WaNCBNlWgBw Steps to Reproduce (For Main Issue - Line Energy Freeze): 1. Engage in a fight during gameplay. 2. After the fight concludes, observe that the line energy display does not update or disappears correctly. 3. Attempt to continue gameplay – UI remains frozen. 4. Press the options button or wait for the period to end – game freezes for several minutes. These issues, particularly the line energy freeze, make the game frustrating to play. I would appreciate any updates on whether these bugs are being addressed and any potential workarounds in the meantime. Thank you for your time and support!Be a pro
Game: NHL 25 Platform: Xbox Series S Mode: Be A Pro Bug description: During a coach conversation right before the first game of the Stanley Cup Final (playing for Colorado Avalanche), the game freezes. The scene starts, but then the image freezes completely. Music continues to play, but I cannot interact – the game becomes unresponsive. I can return to the Xbox home screen, but the game does not continue. Tried: - Restarting game (full quit, not Quick Resume) - Reloading save file before the conversation - Changing my player's clothing - No success – the issue repeats every time. Please help – I can’t progress past this point in my Be A Pro career.Franchise mode freezing
So I was resigning my plsyers in franchise mode and when i exit the re sign page back to franchise mode menu, the game froze and I couldn't do anything. Only option was to restart the game and ofcourse it didn't save my progress. This has happened to me atleast three times now and i've lost my progress every time.Terrible servers + drastic increase of WOC dressing room bugs
The servers have been absolutely awful all week. I just lagged out of my 7th game in two days and am down 2.5K RP, do you guys not make enough money to have consistent servers for the one year life span of the game? Dressing room bugs are happening almost every single invite, how in the world does the frequency of a bug increase this drastically? Considering you guys charge $100 for a product that’s realistically worth somewhere in the realm of $39.99-$49.99 - I would assume good servers would be a given. We already know the game is polluted with bugs, but having to spend 15-20 minutes just to try and get into a lobby without bugging out just to lag out in the first period anyways is ridiculous.Menu glitch, game frozen. Can't save, close, or do anything.
I mean clearly there has been little work done to increase menu smoothness and speeds from nhl21 onwards, but to get the menu to get lost and freeze in SINGLEPLAYER (not online lag issues) in the year of our lord 2025 is unbelievably embarrassing. This **bleep** is elementary to get correct , yet the multi billion dollar EA videogame company can't figure it out for the life of them clearly.
