The game itself
Players movement are not human like, they look like this game was made between 2010-2013. its ps5. It should look as realistic as FIFA/FC. though nhl isn’t as worldwide popular like FIFA/FC, EA Sports North America needs to step up their game or stop making NHL. This game, it’s glitchy… players disappear through the ice, boards, ice disappears through the cutscenes /tv time out, pivoting from forwards to back skating with the puck is leggy, you bump into the goalie and end up getting 2-4 interference penalties all at once because the players seem to glitch and have minor seizures and hit the goalie multiple times and much more BS like that. Your AI players can be absolutely brutal. Deking on or just before the blue line causing so many offsides.(get Joe Bowen in there) Commentators are boring, annoying. this is actually a very disappointing franchise now. Separate the attention from online and get more into the offline gaming. Hell, sell them separately, with the option of purchasing both online/offline as one. Take a page out of FIFA/FC and apply some of those graphics and tech, bring it into NHL. it just doesn’t cut it anymore. Your design team needs to go and play hockey/ watch it more and study the movements and flow of the game very Deep. Get it right or drop NHL.
Cannot connect to ea servers...
I was playing yesterday evening HUT online and closed the xbox. Came back an hour later and could not connect to the ea servers. Network connection issue. No worries i'll try tomorrow. Tried this morning, cannot still connect. I thought it was a bug. I sign out of my xbox profile to sign back in. Start NHL 25. Now it won't let me sign in my profile and thinks i am a new player and i still can't connect to the ea servers. I press start to input my sign in info but it does nothing, it stays on the home screen. Xbox is fine logs in others games and play online no problem with internet wired connection. What can i try next ? Maybe erase the game and install again, hard reset console ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
