@@darrylwilkes4257 this comment alone explains why NHL is so stale

@trelaskillz Apparently there's 250 new animations so we'll see what the others look like tied to vision control and reactive actions. But yeah not impressed. Isn't even bare minimum.

@NTQ03 Yeah hopefully the animations will be smooth and controlled.

@@HackAttack34 we can only hope. I’m still shocked there was no beta. That’s a little worrisome, but I’m hoping it’s because they were dedicating more time to the game.

@@NTQ03 The 7 days early access will be their beta and release day all in one lol

@@HackAttack34 yeah pretty much lol. Gives them a week to make changes

@NTQ03 I doubt any changes will be made. Usually a month in will be the first tuner unless there's really something not working.

I agree the servers need to be improved. I heard from those that played old gen and moved to new gen that the servers on new gen are more laggy and delayed. Could be from the servers being overpopulated on new gen compared to old gen. That being said, this is a niche sport that is severely underpopulated compared to other games like COD. With more players now making the switch to new gen as old gen is being dropped, the servers need to be improved to handle that.

@@wAvy_Gzzz ngl. I was just playing nhl 24 yesterday online and it was lagging a lot until i deleted some data and stuff out of my console and iCloud storage. Literally right after that my gameplay wasn’t lagging anymore. Maybe try that

They were the new devs last year that added the full pressure, goalie fatigue, etc. I expected more this year with old gen being dropped and them settling in as the new lead devs.

@hiperay I disagree. We're still trying to be optimistic to a franchise that has done very little each year the past decade. We need to see results instead of letting it slide. If old gen was holding it back, why did it take so long for old gen to be dropped? When xbox one and ps4 came out, ea upgraded to new gen consoles for the games and added legacy edition for old gen and left it at that. Why did it take 4 years to drop old gen this time around? Ea isn't 2k. They haven't shown any indication that they plan to add something unique to the game like a massive city anything of that nature. Because old gen is dropped is why my expectations for this game are higher. Need to see the improvement and here I'm not seeing it. Last year was a disappointment. Ai to me didn't look any better and the animations added should be a yearly thing, not something we get 1 year and call it a bullet point for the game. Cause like I said, what else are they doing the rest of the year? Skeleton crew or not, this just isn't enough to pay full price. Casuals shouldn't touch it. Needed more.

@jasonschell6036 True but the skill based one tees hurt you guys even more as what a 100+ ping player was at least able to do was stand in an area to receive a one tee and be ready. Now with it being timed based, there's no chance at all to perform. Even still we'd have to see how exact the timing has to be but it's much more difficult for a higher ping player to time a one tee over a low ping player.

@@HackAttack34 yea it's about as anti high ping as you can get. I have Starlink now so I'm around 20 ping now.

@jasonschell6036 Well that's good. Just gonna need to figure out how much ping will affect the one timers and how it would need to be unplayable.

@Almighty88842 I agree this trailer wasn't impressive at all and it clearly is not enough for the price of a new game. You can use any clips in this video as you wish.

To be fair you have to note that it is most likely recorded with rookie AI, which is very passive in defense. In NHL 24 on superstar difficulty MacKinnon would likely get body checked behind the net. But yeah the AI still does bad decisions. The scoring chance at 7:37 is not due to smart offensive AI, but dumb defensive AI skating into its own goalie... As for the offensive AI it blocks the open half of the net at 8:11... Not seeing much improvement there, but at least they won't skate into each other as in 24.

You gotta remember…there are skill modes. They probably showed this in rookie gameplay rather than expert or superstar mode.

@rocknroor I disagree they said it's related to timing the shot. The clips where it's green, the shot has more power and accuracy on it. The clips where it's red, it has less power and can miss the net meaning it's timed poorly. The last clip where the team has full pressure, the lane is clear but shows red and misses the net.

@HackAttack34 understand the timing part kinda obvious but in every clip shot missed lanes blocked an players are blocking net .kinda all in one homes also common sense no matter timing pucks don't go through people that's new feature in 26

Honestly it's hard figure out EA crap over 20 plus years they been improving the Ai .if they spent much time dealing up buzz words to trick dummies an put effort into game we have nothing to bitch about FU EA

@rocknroor Well there are plenty of animations you can't control as it is. It's always been animation based. That's why the game looks clunky the majority of the time.

@@archbunker7 I agree not enough. I wouldn't even say they did the bare minimum.

@@HackAttack34 true

@xChozenn Yeah we should. Life is too easy for them

@JackFrosty-oc7jn That's what we all want to see but a company has to be willing to invest in something they might lose on which isn't a smart move to try.

@HackAttack34 Than unfortunately we will continue to be stuck with EA whom enjoys recycling, re-stamping and calling it new..

@@JackFrosty-oc7jn Been like that for a decade. Up to your own discretion to buy. Only reason I play is for competitive leagues.

I agree everything this year in woc was a lot slower for menus and queuing into lobbies. It's much worse than it's ever been. These are honestly just little things that they can't even get right. As soon as you launch woc, you should be able to find a game and load in in less than 2 min. Especially now with old gen off the table moving forward, new gen consoles should be quick enough to load all the menus and queue quickly. I would like to see a join in progress addition for drop in games. If a human player drops, there should be a player waiting in queue to quickly replace that player mid game. Drop ins mean nothing, shouldn't even have rank attached to it. Should just be for clubs. So you should be able to join into a game mid game then finish it and play those same players again if they stay. Fill the spots needed after, then play again till you back. Rocket league does this and it makes perfect sense for woc. Same thing for clubs, if someone lags out of a game, you should be able to join back into the same game while it's being played. Play it like be a pro, you can sim a period and then launch into the game and take over. Why not online club? Lag out, join back and play next face off. Valorant does this and it should be in woc. These are just little things that pile up and seem to get worse each year. Only the hardcore competitive players have a reason to play the game if they intend on competing in leagues and earning money. The casuals have no purpose in ea's mind so why should they care? But they lose out on more potential money by continuing this course. That's why the main focus is always the online modes and the casuals and offline guys get the bread crumbs if that.

@HackAttack34 joining mid-game sounds kind of cool, so long as it is something you can opt in or out of. Kind of like how you can opt in to filling clubs games now.

@brelanarchy8023 Did people really opt in for club games or was it just for drop ins using that clubs name? I don't think those games went against the team's record. Could be wrong.

@HackAttack34 I got tossed into a couple of club games last night with it at center. I don't know if it counted toward their record or not. I've never been on the club management side of things. I assume it counts toward their record. They can also choose to allow or disallow drop-in players, so I think they assume the risk.

I heard someone say it sounds like the name of a rapper lol

I don't see it as a problem at all. Still have the iq and skill to play at a high level. It'll be a slight adjustment for the speed but the rest of the game remains the same. This doesn't even the playing field. If you didn't use EE and struggled, then that was your choice. We don't rag with EE. Just need better defense.

@@HackAttack34 lmao sure thing man

Because the gameplay looks the same. I only saw maybe a couple new animations but they always try to oversell the work they actually put in which is below bare minimum. Gameplay trailer is where we should see the big difference if there's going to be any.

@@HackAttack34 oh yeah I get it. There isn't much on the bone here.

Each year it always seems to be "heading in the right direction" but it never is satisfying to the playerbase. The very little steps forward are clearly not enough each year to be paying the amount we are. Changes like this should be tuner updates, not new games where we pay full price and more.

@@HackAttack34 I 100 percent agree it's like they have people crying about the ability to LT in 22/23 remove it for this year and they use it as a selling point for this game. Ea loves putting band aids on things and selling the fix they could've added all year as a new or improved feature

Ps5 load in menus better be a thing and I believe it will

@bounce12 Well don't worry, ea got it covered this year with the all new ICE-Q tech and EMPOWERED AI lol

@@bounce12 Even that could use work lol

@robertjacobs2188 They tried to be slick with these terms that mean nothing till we see it.

@Tauno211 I agree it would be cool to not only have players queueing up in drop in to join the game while it's going on (like in rocket league) but also to be able to join back a club game as well if a lag out occurs (like in valorant). It is crazy that we've gotten accustomed to how lackluster and minimal the new features have become. If the emphasis isn't on gameplay or presentation, then it should be on game modes and menus and vice versa. But we haven't been getting either since 22 so it's like always getting a random box of chocolates that's half full all the time. I kinda figured old gen would get dropped eventually, it was always the concern of when. That was also what has held back new gen for some time. New gen now should look and feel better naturally since all the resources are going to that with no hold backs anymore. Hopefully the gameplay trailer can show us something unique.

@ntq0364 It's the same thing each year. Somehow there's all these new animations that we just simply don't see. Maybe a few extra animations, but certainly not the amount they advertise. I think the traits will remain the same. I've heard they wanted to remove EE but I think the remaining will stay. I don't know how that correlates exactly with hut but if they were to completely remove all traits, that would mean ea has to rework the build design for woc which they won't do especially since it's been only 3 years with xfactors. I will say it's about time ea decided to drop old gen. That obviously held new gen improvement back a lot and we should start to see a bigger difference now with presentation and gameplay hopefully. The fact I have to be skeptical when saying that just shows how much ea cares about their consumers with the effort they display each year. All the trailers and advertising no longer affect my hype for the next game. I need to see and feel the difference.

@@HackAttack34 FINALLY ditching old gen is HUGE, even if that’s the only change they did it’s MASSIVE in that their development team isn’t spread out. But it’s EA, so we’ll take that will a grain of salt. I think they gameplay deep dive coming this week will tell us a lot about if there are traits or if any (or all) are removed. If EE is removed (and the only one) it’ll be interesting to see if those builds that had gold EE are resolved with gold In Reverse which we could never choose before (outside of bones) because in reverse goes hand in hand with the new edge work animations (making smoother turning from forward to backward skating) assuming the edge work animations get classified in game as forward and backward transitions (but maybe it’s a new thing call lateral transitions. Maybe they add that to one of the build categories)

@ntq0364 Yeah the gameplay trailer is where we'll see that. I don't remember if there will be a woc deep dive like last year. If that does happen, then we will for sure see what the changes are for woc.

@MLGMANIACPBC It still took skill to set up a proper one tee. Had to have proper body position and aim with a hard pass on the tee for it to consistently work it wasn't guaranteed based on just the shot. Like I mentioned in the video, this will screw with many players that deal with higher ping. Better ensure that body checking the air isn't still in the game if it isn't properly timed then.

Yeah offline players haven't gotten much of anything these last few years besides some additions to franchise mode. Be a pro players haven't really needed to buy the game since 21. Been the same since. Only changes are gameplay which isn't an incentive to buy.

@HackAttack34 yep & that's why we shouldn't support EA's products. I'd rather watch you do a NHL 04 rebuild series or a NHL 2k10 series vs boring be a pro. Hel I'd even watch you do a be a pro NHL 14 series before 25

@@noslipups3657 That only shows they care little about those people. Their main income comes from hut and online players as a whole compared to offline players. That's why their main emphasis will always be catered towards the online guys and mainly hut in general for money sake.

@@jamesschultz5651 what’s EE

They will just find the new meta. Game might be slower but players will find ways to exploit some mechanic to gain the upper hand.

Depends on how they try to counter that. I believe they mentioned that EE would be gone, but the agility of the game would increase, perhaps to try and counter the effect of it. We'll see how it pans out, but the game will feel slower for everyone

Not a great habit to get into especially the higher up you get in competition. Glad the video helped!

@GrandsonCook Maybe. These guys weren't body checking so that's probably why he escaped.

Do you accept challenges from subscribers?

@@GrandsonCook Depends on the challenge. What do you have in mind?

Thunder clap only goals

@GrandsonCook heck nah 🤣

The ai are always bad at the game. The game mode isn't meant to be played with ai. It's best to find others to fill the team.

I heard of some people having this issue at the start of nhl 24. Ea had said they fixed it in a patch. Still had people getting errors at times. Unfortunately, I'm unsure on how to fix it. You can try to create a new club and switch owners and see if that works

@@HackAttack34 much appreciated!! Thanks

@Anonymous71892 Yeah it just made hitting with a smaller player easier.
