THANKS FOR WATCHING! What do you want to see in NHL 25?

We need full presentation back… with teams running out the tunnel and shots of the arena from outside like the old games! It would be cool to have an intermission report and new commentators and scoreboard! We need all the sights and sounds to be more realistic! Even the lights on the ice and different camera angles for the celebrations

I would love Winter Classic games in franchise mode! Same with All Star games, like where you can send a player from your team to the all star game, play as them during it. Same with it being added to Be a Pro

full presentation like the old games, come back to PC, make franchise mode more like myLEAGUE, updated be a pro, etc.

Customization in HUT is a must. And quite frankly I want more customization in entire game. Not only own logos, but own music. I would love to use my own goal song that I’ve created with AI after every goal. Also let us name teams without link to a certain city/country from the list. Tutorial is a must also. As a new player whose last NHL game was in 2009 (I played it on keyboard), NHL 24 was really difficult to adapt. I still don’t understand how to pass properly, especially how to make those criss-cross passes that everybody doing. In franchise mode I would add three way trades. IDK why it is not a thing in a sports sim games. Also I want every single NHL, AHL and legend player to have own realistic face. Not having realistic 3D models is shameful. And, of course, bring the game to PC already. Not making sports game for that platform in 2024 is ridiculous and the reasons for not doing that are laughable.

I'm an avid franchise player and also would love to see the coaches show emotions during penalties, goals, wins, milestones, etc. Winter classic would be awesome and also maybe to spice things up in franchise mode, we could create our gm and during the trade deadline and be in the war room listening to scouts seeing who theyrecommend we trade or trade for even during the draft same concept.

I want AI generation faces on draft talents in franchise mode. Also being able to go back qnd view qll statistics season for season when the franchise is finished (year by year rosters and highlights from peak moment msybe as a summarized movie also to relive the moments).

I could not care less about HUT lol. Franchise mode and Be a Pro are the modes that need to be worked on. HUT is just a money sink.

I honestly want to see a “create-a-uniform” mode where you can make a custom uniform for any of the 32 NHL teams using logos from their past or present (basically make a new custom alternate or specialty jersey for your favorite team to use in franchise, be a pro, play now, etc). It would especially go great with a return of the outdoor games as you could make your own WC/SS uniforms for when your team plays outdoors.

Couch Play so you don't always need two consoles to play against ur friends using yours and theirs ultimate teams

It's great that the EA team made a solid effort at providing objectives that produced decent rewards this year which is all fine. The problem with EA NHL 24 is the game play absolutely sucks and has zero integrity. The game play itself is the worst it's ever been. Every single shift is littered with WTF BS garbage.

I would love for them to make all HUT cards tradable, even if that they get rid of trades in the AH. I want to be able to do a full rebuild whenever I want again, like in the old days. One major reason the game gets stale is post tots, my team is locked in with an untradeable line up.

I want to see the game have just a smidge of actual hockey smarts. You know, like passing to the obvious player instead of someone behind the play. Or maybe not standing in the shooting lanes. Or maybe even getting out of the way of the teammate carrying the puck. I know, I'm asking for the moon and the stars.

I would love a Winter classic mode and in my opinion I believe that a Be a ref mode would be cool something different and also I would like a arena creator thing where people make custom arenas upload it to a vault and you can play in them and be able to choose what rink you want to play in during a game. Make the rinks more realistic instead of slapping the Redwings logo on ice for example and saying it is Little Caesars arena. All the arenas are the same and I feel like it shouldn't be that way. I like the feeling of playing in my favourite teams actual arena instead of a completely non realistic one. I know it might be hard and some people might not like the idea but I think it would be a good touch. I also think it would be cool if the home team in offline modes got their real announcers like if the leafs were the home team they would have Craig Simpson and Chris Cuthbert commentating. this also might be too much but I would like to see it happen. Be a Pro Franchise And HUT need something new to do in them. It has been the exact thing for so long copy and paste every year. They need to update them in my opinion if they want more people to actually enjoy playing the game! Edit: Also new presentations like a Zamboni presentation and then the national anthems and new menus the ability to make female be a pro players.Maybe they have this but I don't think so

I've been "quiet quitting" NHL for some months now. I've spent money on it, but never stopped spending on it this early. I just got so turned off competing against assholes online. I haven't renewed my ps+ subscription either. So, EA has to step up big time for the offline players to convince me to return for NHL25. I'm done playing online, and it feels so good.

Does anyone remember the nhl 17 custom menus would love if they would bring it back because it was really cool having ur favorite team and their players as the background of your menu

So you are not supposed to spam R1 to poke check ? I'm new to the game, I just learned something, thanks.

I honestly miss seeing the announcers talking before the game and I really enjoyed seeing the stadium before you played your match, it's sad that they took those out, it feels realistic like a real hockey game

I just hope the cover athlete is good and that hut doesn’t require $50 a week or 50 hours a week to have decent players.

To add onto the winter classic you could have a event in hut when it comes out where you like play someone in a single game and if you win you get rewards if you lose you’re done

In a dream world I wish we could get realistic presentation on par with Madden and 2K

I just want to be able to make custom goalie masks in franchise

Custom controls please Make things like Kyle turris between the legs deke and same side dekes to where u can make them the button u want

This was the first year I waited until the game was free to get it and I'm glad I did. Feels alot like last year with some gameplay tweaks but other then that? 89.99 in Canada for new releases these days so it's hard to justify the purchase for nearly the same game even if you have the 💸.

Best out of 5 matches series against friends

Make fighting more realistic…two guys dancing around while the linesman watch…have the linesman more involved jumping in to break fights up…falling to the ice with players…ref’s in middle while players attempt to throw punches just like real games attics….

Customizations would be so nice. It seem is would be easy for them to add also considering it's already a created on other mode.

Put a viewing screen in chel clubs so you can watch the game while in the room waiting to play a club game.

i would really want to see in general is drafting and playing as college characters and starting out in college for be a pro

Thrash I do like the idea of Winter classics

Better servers, consistent gameplay, GM Connected, no illegal game tuners. The end.

Thrash I like your thoughts here (especially on a better practice mode I mean look at FIFA/FC 24) but one thing Ill say is that adding the Winter Classic would probably be a big hassle. They would most likely have to add that stipulation in the contract with whoever owned the stadium but moreover, the contract is only good for one year so you would be spending all these resources to Scan in a new arena that would be good for that one new game and this would have to be repeated each year. I just don't see that being something that we should want them to spend the limited time and resources on for how much use you are going to get out of it.

I don't understand why Battle for the Cup was a mode people wanted in the game the least.

What I would like to see added is the ability if your playing as the home team be able to choose to go first or second in a shootout during a game or shootout mode it’s always the away team that goes first also winter classic would be nice

take a look at the presentation trailer of College Football 25, that's not how you present a sports game like in NHL 24, especially the flex moments celebration which looks absolutely arcade, that has to be removed from NHL 25

Have custom hat trick cellys (option per player like those cellys cards that most just trade in for packs) example wanting to see octopus or rats being thrown in hut vs hats. Or a special type of hat trick celebration.

Bingo on creation in HUT also would uv to see some type of season mode for HUT!

I think they tried to replace Draft Champions with Hut rush so like you said they didn’t replace it

1. GM Connected 2. New attributes system in world of chel 3. Be A Pro , allow skipping of cut scenes 4. Improvements in gameplay in general

They need to add community events. For example everyone’s SB points get added up from old gen and new new and we all have to get x amount of points for let’s say a ultimate choice pack doesn’t matter and there are rewards along the way. Make this a monthly thing and tie it into the events that happen by allowing bouns points for using the current event cards. I also think for a competitive season you could do ps vs Xbox. You’d only match an opposite console and whatever team has more points/wins at the end gets the big reward like 10 but champs collectables or a player and the other team gets a couple packs based on how they did.

They need real coaches in nhl 25 like how cool would that be with having guys like Babcock on the market

I would like to see difficulty tiers added to objectives so the skilled players can do the difficult stuff to earn a player quickly and the scrubs can do easier stuff (that will take them longer) to still earn the players that they arguably need on the team more than the guys who are only doing it for fodder.

I would love to see the ability to give No Trade or Modified No Trade clauses on contracts to sign players. Or signing bonuses. Makes it more realistic and makes Free Agency more exciting because right now, it's just how much a team will throw at players. Plus, it makes it harder to make trades of those same players

I think they should add warm up mode

Would love to see deep logo creation in world of chel

This one’s a little personal to me, but being able to name OUR rosters would be amazing

Here's my wishlist as an offline player: - Be a pro as a real player (EA already has this in FIFA and it was in the older games) - AHL and CHL added back to be a pro - Skip cutscene option in be a pro - All star game in be a pro (They used to have the CHL all star game before NHL 21) - Leagues outside the NHL in franchise mode - Add back the retro goalie masks from the old NHL games (These are in the game already, you just can't equip them anymore) - Better facial customization - Arena editor (Like in MLB The Show)

Here is what I think we need. We need practice mode fire around 50 pucks before a game would be awesome! We need a be a ref mode. We also need big scrums.

Fantasy draft gm connected would be awesome!

Would love some upgrades to franchise mode. Rivals, just to give games meaning. Hot streaks, cold streaks. Player individuality, like traits and personality. Like the A.I would start shit with the opposing teams. Not all of them. Helps momentum, player psyche.

I would love to see a Be A Pro story line similar to 2k

I want them to bring back goalie stats so i can see whose in net and bring where you win the cup the banner rasing and you can see the banner up there in the game

They should add the feature in be a pro where u can play as any hockey player not just a created one

i have hundred's of hours in be a pro and i just learned i've been poke checking wrong lol well ill have to give this a try now

Hey guys. I was in hospital for a few days and haven't played since June 9. Was there anything like a weekly thing for the Metropolitan Division? I just started playing again June 24. Thank you

I do not think they touch OffLine Modes like The modes Ones Now or NHL Threes. But I do not think nobody cares or play it anyways

Dude I have been saying the same exact thing about player switching. If button icons work for passing… player switching should not be much different. Lots of good stuff in here! Though… I will admit, my hopes are not high!

NHL25 Wishlist ( fixes & adds ) Physics (FIX) •Goals are being scored due to sticks going through another players body part & the goalies equipment going through the post CPU (ADD) More intelligence when it comes to defensive coverage & offensive breakouts & goalies coming out to set the puck up behind the net for quick plays ADD- First person fights (NHL14) Authenticity (ADD) •Make the game feel more real: (EX) players using energy have a harder time recovering defensively on turnovers due to stamina lost •More realistic puck battles Gameplay/Animations (ADD) •Easier & more effective ways to box out defensively & new shot block & pass break up animations

Would love to have tnt broadcast

I want Online Team Play back. I want to be able to play with randoms or create parties to play online and drop into matchmaking while playing with NHL teams. The days of having like 12 people in an Xbox party and creating your own lobby on OTP and playing as actual NHL players similar to World of Chel was peak NHL.

Need better rewards for completing the objectives !! I remember couple years ago if you completed them you got packs, high overall pack choice for the later finished ones, just think it’s a must cause what’s the point of the basic objectives when you’re only getting couple hundred coins

We need franchise mode like in madden

Lol no one i know plays with the sound off maybe the shitty music in the menu when i do it my adhd can not handle it i have to have the audio on to concentrate if that makes sense 😂

I wanna see the nhl08 shootout mode again imagine havin the filthiest hands ever and that style

you say it the Winter Classic mode must finally come back to the NHL series .and in hut I would finally wish that we had something like a battle pass like in fifa ultimate team then the grind would be even more worthwhile then I would finally play hut again

without gm connected they fail again,would be cool if u can upgrade a player by stats per games played

I just wish we had a challenge play in the game because I swear I would have won some

I wish I could transfer all my created teams from nhl 24 to nhl 25. Also I would like the ability to use the logos in the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL for my created teams offline.

How about if you score a hat trick for your club, you get to chose a hat that was thrown on the ice that represents your club. Then you can go and wear it in drop ins to represent your club. Also, for Be A Pro why not add mini games to increase attribute instead of training. You could use the All-Star skills competition for said mini games. The better you do the more you progress. Two examples of games that do this are FIFA and MLB the Show.

I miss the draft champs mode it was my favourite!

Ok I got 1 it's mainly for hut. .there should be a new card tier like platinum or something like that where u can upgrade base gold cards with coins but they max out at like 84 overall... imma devils fan and I love Lazar and haula but Lazar is like a 78 n haula is a 80 and I don't play much rivals but I would love to have not the mega superstars we always get . The thing I learned is build a team u want to play with but I'm just tired of the same ppl getting every card type n the players u like can't really hang

I hope they put in the British ice hockey teams

I had to help my cousin with all the controls and how to play the game pls help out ea

i'll probably make another rant video soon as we find out more information on NHL 25 but if be a pro isn't changed i won't be buying NHL 25 just like i didn't buy 24

I want a save your own goals/saves/hits, but only get to save 2-3 for each player…..hell go as far as the money to get from tickets sales you can open packs….better you are the more people you have!

It’s been so long since the winter classic mode was in the game that half the people/kids that play it don’t even remember it😂

3:48 IDK WHY EA REMOVED CANADA TRAINING CAMP IN NHL 20!!!!

being able to play hut offline because some people don't have internet

I’ll never understand why they took out like showing the teams skate out before the game. Like I’m a sharks fan and why don’t they skate out of the head and have that presentation?? Or even the jaws music before the power play… I look back at peoples older nhl streams and videos the franchise layout was so much better and smoother running and just looked way better. I hope they realize it and change these things… its not great right now

Your number and name on every jersey in chel not just retired players

My wish list (mainly for PRO & FRANCHISE):: - custom league & replace teams with your custom teams (PRO) - be sent down to AHL & ECHL (PRO) - able to play overseas if your not getting offers in NA (PRO & FRANCHISE) - introduced new leagues around the world such as; EIHL (UK), AIHL (Australia), NZIHL (New Zealand) and so on. - new mode…coaching. Work your way up from ECHL (or even overseas) to the NHL. You few the entire game from the bench and can’t control the players (just watching). You have a notepad/clipboard (exactly like the tab you bring down to sim to next shift on PRO) where you can view and change; lines, tactics, strategies, coach challenges, timeout, pull goalies and give commands to captains.

if anyone has a stanley cup Iginla card I've been looking for one since it came out

As I’m from England I would like the elite leage

always a good day when thrashy posts. even better when he talks about NHL 25. pls more nhl 25 content even if its wishlist stuff. 24 is so boring rn

Fix chel physics especially sticking to players like Velcro the lacrosse goal, hip check and interceptions buy players and ai needs brains. Maybe be able to choose a ai player type when your down a man in 3’s or 6’s

Do NHL Eras…allow us to start in the greatest nhl season ever 1992-1993 and have every draft class after that and add expansion teams at right times…let us play through two decades

These are some changes I want to nhl I be specific for each mode Franchise Mode: Conditional Picks Gm connected PTO contracts Ahl player loans/ Loan to other league Future Considerations Correct Waivers so worst team has first dibs to claim an player Contract Bonuses Bug fixes Be an Pro: All star game Olympics Be undrafted More cut scene The ability to skip an cut scene The ability to become an scout/coach/gm after career.

Do you think Victor hedmen will get a 99

Be able to edit players in franchise. Shit is ridiculous if I wanna cheese offline let me cheese

I want Be a Ref mode!!

Give me Team Chem boosts. Would give boosts to theme teams. Or even Line chems. Also with this give players the ability to change team on the card if a player has played for multiple teams.

Watch EA add absolutely none of these things at all

5:04 this man is not cooking the one button deke is the only reason casuals like me and 100s of kids at the college at work at play nhl24 makes it easy to pick up and have fun

We need the stats displayed at intermission in eashl 3s mode to not show power plays and short handed goals…. Show stats for our game mode! And give us ai settings for 3v3 not the same as 5v5! And we need a grab pick buttton!

Franchise mode needs some new presentation to it. The ability when you select a 33rd team franchise that you hire coaches before the expansion draft and not just be given random ones you fire in year 2. Bring back raising the championship banner in the home opener. make sure not every defense-men AI created is pinch/shoot or pinch/cycle. Make a special cut scene for the draft lottery. Minor stuff I know but it would do alot for franchise mode. HUT & MUT is honestly one of the most boring modes in both EA Sports games and not worth the money.

I personally would rather upgrade the event MSPs with the event collectibles then with power up collectibles so that be one. I know last yr you made a video on X factors n legend players being the best cards in the game specifically at the start and feel they should do something like in NHL 19 to make and earn the legend players but when you get them there gonna be like between 91 up to 95 or something that way they be the best cards in the game least till January, why should we have to upgrade them constantly through out the yr, not being disrespectful to those legend players but most of them don’t mean anything cause they start off so low.

I would love to see if EA brought back some old icons from older nhl games. But I think that's not going to happen. 😢

Since I am a big Music Guy, I wanna see a return of EA Trax I don’t like people telling me to use Spotify, what if my Internet is Down?! EA Trax needs to return

I wouldn't want to be on the cover. It never works out for the team, so no Dallas Stars on the cover, please 😂

Used to love when they let you import your own soundtracks. What happened to that.
