So i play fifa or fc or whatever you want to call that, i played a little nhl last year. I have a 10 hour trial and wanted to try nhl 25 but it seems that every issue with fc is the same on nhl. They slowed both games down for some reason. FC has playstyles and they added "roles" this year and its just dog shit. same thing with madden, abilities x factor its so fucking stupid.
I’m considering buying the game because I want to learn the sport. Hockey is not a popular sport in my region I don’t even understand the rules. Seeing all the negative comments actually makes me want to buy the game more so because I see the same negative comments about Madden and I love Madden. I’m realistic enough to know that you can’t reinvent the wheel so to speak every time a new version is released. No matter what people say about Madden it is the best football game ever made in my opinion. There’s never been a better football game. I also realize that no matter what it is if it’s the best people hate on it like they hate on LeBron James or Beyoncé. Just the world we live in.
I watch and understand hockey. But I haven’t played a hockey video game since 2004. There’s a steep learning curve. These mfers will score at will if you don’t play great defense. If you wanna score you better learn the glitch goals
@@josephpolk6834I’m also learning hockey since it isn’t popular in my region. (I figured out wtf the Deke was) But your end comments are why I only play Be a Pro or Offline. I don’t care to play with kids shooting glitch goals all game. That isn’t fun to me
I’m in the same boat man! Plan on buying it this week to learn hockey more ! I’m a kings fan. But hockey isn’t that popular obviously where I’m at (California) but it is a fun sport to watch and I want to learn more and sucks I never go into it. And I feel the same with FIFA, now known as FC. When people talk crap on it all the time and to me it’s the best soccer game ever and I love soccer it’s my favorite sport. And football. But can’t wait to get into hockey more this season and beyond. Go kings ! See you on the ice !
The game is great u just Don't think it is and i respect ur opinion i will only play NHL, Madden or MLB cause I don't like any other sports games like PGA, NBA or FIFA those sports games are just dog shit they suck NHL, Madden and MLB will always be better than PGA, NBA, and FIFA
@@GodWeenSatan there's new movement in NHL 25 u weren't able to keep the puck in one place while moving in NHL 24 u were only able to skate backwards with the puck. That's what I like about NHL 25 and i also like how EA is going to update the rosters for the Rosters that change in Real Life NHL
Agree bro this shit isn’t even playable I keep trying every fucking day and I turn it off 4 minutes in… cpu is just terrible and op. Trying to poke check is horrible and why did they put push the player in the game if it’s not consistent
I dont understand why they didnt remove total control its so ass to play vs skill stick but its still op. One of worst decisions from EA when they made it
I turned the commentary off within 3 mins of playing and that's the first time I've ever done that in a NHL game. I convince myself it's a more being at a live game feel. 3:27
Only makes sense with these major capitalist companies and the atmosphere in society saying, ‘let’s use AI ‘. Meanwhile, we know after years of experience, we don’t trust AI for anything.
I hate the pressure circle too! Thankfully you can turn it off on NHL 25 in the visual options. It still shows you on the advertising boards when you reach full pressure.
As a person who absolutely hated nhl 24, I feel like nhl 25 is a bit better. Still hate the dumb pressure meter, and the nerf they did to dumping the puck however I love the new LT animation when skating with the puck and it’s a lot harder to get stuck on your ai teammates as that was a real pain in the ass last year.
@@Calman85 but like I shouldn’t have to wait 3 seconds holding rb to “charge it up” ea says they want to be realistic by adding pressure meter etc but in real life they don’t have to charge up to dump the damn puck. If I’m on a pk I want to flip the puck out asap. Miss the old dump
Is the LT animation different from last year ? I might be missing something... I LT’d all the time last year and it was way more reactive . This year feels like input delay, especially LT’ing left and rights compared to ‘24 . I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in 2 months with how much I’m getting destroyed and trying to learn earlier timings .
Ice tilt mechanics suck, new controls suck, player builds are unhinged and cheesy, matchmaking took out best game location options, and best of all throttling skilled players and tilting games against higher ranks to even games. This last one kills the game for me, if you suck, get better. The game holding peoples hand into a win is the lamest feature in a competitive sports game ive ever seen.
X Factor is a great example of how the industry is always trying to change things just for the sake a new sales gimmick. The sports games were more fun 20 years ago. Just give us the older simple basic controls with great graphics and game engines. Make a great single player game mode before you worry about online multiplayer BS. The corporate greed has destroyed gaming, they used to be made by gamers instead of CEO's.
I was casually watching this on my tv but had to hop on my phone when I heard you mention, “man I wish they got rid of the X factors, I hate them so much.” I could not disagree more with that statement and I sort of think it’s not just opinion incorrect, but factually incorrect. they are a great addition to the game since they’ve been in and make the players actually play different and feel apart from one another with different skills. In complete honesty for me, i think the X Factors are actually among S tier changes EA has made to this franchise through the years, and that’s coming from a guy who’s first nhl was nhl 03 with Jarome Iginla on the cover. Would be a complete regression for the series if they got rid of them and I’d probs stop buying and just play old editions of the game if they did at this point. Alright, you said your opinion, and I’ve said mine, I can now finish the video lol
can someone explain to me why the checking is so overly aggressive? like CPU throws a check every single play sequence. its overwhelmingly unrealistic.
I bought the game then deleted it. Every player on world of Chel, There was a glitch and it maxed out every Chel player. As for HUT, You can have 5 million of coins and it wouldn't matter. EA has completely ruined NHL. I am not buying this game anymore for years until a new company comes out like 2k. EA is just terrible. The only game mode out there that's sensible is , Offline or online regular mode otherwise it's dog poop. They have completely removed weekly rewards in HUT. And now you gotta play like 200 games to get specialized players that aren't going to be even worth it anymore by the end of the season.
I’ve never played NHL 25 but I want to learn the sport. I’m motivated to buy now since I’m seeing the same complaints as I see about Madden and I happen to love Madden. You can never satisfy people with anything these days. Sold
Ive been playing since early access. N i was playing 24 for weeks prior off of gamepass. This is the 1st one ive actually bought in 10 years. Its 100% different from 24. I was playing it everyday n jumped right to 25 early access as soon as it released. The skating is more fluid, the one timers are way better. The Goalies are better in close range. The IQ of the players and where they move on the ice is SO much better. Non puck handling players dont collide with one another all the time. The cpu D on All-Star and up is lit. Ur ability to set up offense and lace moves together is vastly different n way better. The players also seem scaled down a tiny bit for more ice space. Im 39 and have basically played almost every one. Many from gamepass ultimate in recent years. This is a huge step in the correct dirction and is drastically different. Franchise mode is way better too. This is no roster update
3 best ways I have found to score on all-star to superstar difficulty. 1- The skill based one-timers are legit, no BS 2- In the slot (between the opponents face-off circles), quickly manual deke, backhand to forehand wrister or snap high opposite side, or go forehand to backhand back to FH wrister away. (Very sick) 3- coming in on an angle from the same side as ur hand (cause this move to backhand is best, but u can do both) right in front of the goalie stride deke ( holding LB & flicking LS down while gliding)..You will switch to BH right in front of the goalie and smoke um...This also works going straight at goalie but you gotta do it super quickly n works best on an angle. Remember friends....make sure ur gliding while attempting dekes, especially toe drags and stride dekes. Manual dekes you can do both..anything else, glide.
For me this game is WAY TO FREAKING SLOW!!!!! They don’t have to make it so super realistic. In nba 2k you got players doing dunks they can’t do in real life and that makes it more fun in my opinion. SPEED UP THE GAME!!!
disagree wholeheartedly with this. I think most true fans want a hockey simulation, not an arcade game. If ppl want an arcade game, change the sliders in settings. Even in 2k its wayyy more fun playing strategically
You do realize that NHL 23 and 24 were way too fast for gameplay speed it took away from actually hockey plays and IQ, whereas you just needed to skate around players. You just need to adjust and get used to a more normal game speed (realistic vs arcade).
@@TrewCrew It was huge change and I have heard that Online is harder to adjust too, with how the games are being played and what is being used. Playing offline games it took me 5-6 games to get used to it and start to play more with quick passes.
The other thing I Don't like about NHL 25 is that the Ai difficulty is weird like when u put the Ai on Semi-pro they act like the difficulty is on pro difficulty and that's also another thing I don't like about NHL 25 and I think that EA should make it where when u play online versus u play with someone the same skill level as you instead of versing someone who is better than u I would like to verse someone that's on the same skill level as me instead of versing someone who is better than me it's just not fun to me
You should genuinely stop making videos in the polite way. Not to be mean but I’ve been around since nhl 13 or so and like a lot of us that have seen the crap direction this game has gone in the sense of useless ai, positioning, lots of things,,, when they finally do address some large issues, make the game play better, feel more fluid.. like they do the first “right” thing in years and people like you still whine. It baffles me.
@@trevorjohnson4102it’s just my honest thoughts. I’ve been playing the game since 09’ and bought the game every single year. Yes the game got better. But just adding a couple new skating animations and a new one timer system just doesn’t seem like enough for someone to upgrade. I completely understand where you are coming from tho🤝
I like that its slower. I don't want an arcadey type game like 2K used to make. I think it feels a lot better this year, especially the passing and skating. I mean, Ullmark is pretty good lol
At what point are we just going to stop buying these games. Every year it seems they promise us they’ll be a change in the game will be better. Just a false sense of optimism always.
3:27 Commentary OFF, thank GOD for that! I hate the commentary also they are repetitive non-sense quotes and the analyst is very annoying! For the last passed years I bought the game on Black Friday, it never lifts up and goes on sale quickly. It's a ripoff at 89.99$ + tx CDN dollars! Tks for that great review, I even think about skipping it this year, it will be a first since the first edition back in the genesis era. Yeah I am an old 55yo gamer!
It's EA so ofcourse it's going to be the same game we been playing for a decade...but I mean they did tweak contracts and some minor franchise stuff..I mean it's more than Madden does..so..yay?..lol fun vid dude
Do not buy this game it’s the worst nhl I have played full of cross creasers, the goalies suck and the new one timer feature is soooooo bad if you light it up perfectly green automatic goal
They neutered the game in 24. And I ain't forgiving that. Been playing for years like everyone else. And you don't get to send me shit and call it chocolate. And most of all I don't care to follow you threw the next consequent years as you give me everything that was in in 23 .
Might be my least favorite nhl and I’ve been playing since 94 lol. The defensive AI makes this game unplayable. It’s atrocious, they skate past the AI for a breakaway EVERYTIME. I can’t play this garbage.
“Paid $60 for a Mohawk” was exactly what I needed to hear. Honestly looks like a step back this year. Also, and I’ve said this over and over, you could “Mohawk” in previous games, albeit not just whenever and in any direction. Between the “new skating” and your mention of the passing changing (reverting, I’d say), it sounds like Blades of Steel 2025 🥱 no thanks. Do better EA, this used to be the one good game year in and year out
Exactly, people always complain no matter what. the game is actually better then the last 5, its smooth theres fatigue that makes more sense. Ya you can speed burst for 2 minutes with the same player np shit its slower lol. In real hockey passing is faster then skating and you get tired quick. So this game looks and feel pretty real
Hockey simulation he said xDD There wasnt a single NHL game from EA that is supposed to be a hockey simulation :) neither is this one. Its fuckin arcade game and dogshit one at that
It’s sssssooooo ssssllllooooowwww. Gameplay reminds me of those dreams where you’re running as hard as you can but still moving in slow-motion. Passing is worse too, hard to imagine they could make that worse.
Hahaha right thats the nhl community for you... if they dont win by cross crease pass they complain about GLITCH GOALS LOL they do the same shit...Its a game have fun
I see progress. I hated NHL 24. It's by far my least played one from the franchise and I've bought every single one since NHL 98. Mind you it was PS4 but for whatever reason I just gave up. I didn't even bother with franchise. So, my "new" game for this year is NHL 24 franchise. I'm poor btw.
Who plays NHL anyways the game is mostly dead even the online. Literally played with my buddy one match and wrecked players that have been playing for years lol.. hella sad stuff. Literally the same game every year with maybe a new coloured logo added to it. Quit wasting your money on crap like this and play some real games or go back to the older ones. 25 is literally the same as 24 but people still bought it lol it’s the same with NBA
Are you buying NHL 25 this year?
I preordered the deluxe edition it’s alright wouldn’t say that was worth it but whatever
No
yes
@@PHYZIX96yeah. Feels like NHL 24 lol.
I don't think so it doesn't seem to be any different than nhl24
X-Factors have ruined the NHL game franchise. Anyone who disagrees, clearly didn’t play these games 15 years ago, or even a decade ago.
I use the Sharks in 24 so I don’t even know what X-Factors are
@@ColonelCarnage😂😂😂 I use the blues I feel ya
there either to overwhelming or to underwhelming this game has so much potential yet they never fill it

3 best ways I have found to score on all-star to superstar difficulty.

It's EA so ofcourse it's going to be the same game we been playing for a decade...but I mean they did tweak contracts and some minor franchise stuff..I mean it's more than Madden does..so..yay?..lol fun vid dude
Any chance for day in the life videos ever coming back? it is missed by our team.
Love how you wine there no way to stop u get down in lane and block the pass across that simple
Nhl 21 feels so rough on controls, this looks slow
Way too slow gameplay, way too wide rink. Does not look like Real NHL.
How hard would it be if it was first person though
Been the same game since 2016
Got cooked and called it a glitch goal.
was there a review in this video...if so...I must have missed. Maybe he don't know what review means....
Do not buy this game it’s the worst nhl I have played full of cross creasers, the goalies suck and the new one timer feature is soooooo bad if you light it up perfectly green automatic goal
bro you look like Clayton Keller
We are paying 60 dollars for an update ...nothing is realistic
They neutered the game in 24. And I ain't forgiving that. Been playing for years like everyone else. And you don't get to send me shit and call it chocolate. And most of all I don't care to follow you threw the next consequent years as you give me everything that was in in 23 .

Might be my least favorite nhl and I’ve been playing since 94 lol. The defensive AI makes this game unplayable. It’s atrocious, they skate past the AI for a breakaway EVERYTIME. I can’t play this garbage.
“Paid $60 for a Mohawk” was exactly what I needed to hear. Honestly looks like a step back this year.
Also, and I’ve said this over and over, you could “Mohawk” in previous games, albeit not just whenever and in any direction.
Between the “new skating” and your mention of the passing changing (reverting, I’d say), it sounds like Blades of Steel 2025 🥱 no thanks. Do better EA, this used to be the one good game year in and year out

Why are you upset about the game speed? Do you want a hockey simulation, or a arcade game?
Exactly, people always complain no matter what. the game is actually better then the last 5, its smooth theres fatigue that makes more sense. Ya you can speed burst for 2 minutes with the same player np shit its slower lol. In real hockey passing is faster then skating and you get tired quick. So this game looks and feel pretty real
I know - I’ve seen this complaint from a number of people but you can adjust game speed (and a whole lot of other stuff) in the sliders.
Hockey simulation he said xDD There wasnt a single NHL game from EA that is supposed to be a hockey simulation :) neither is this one. Its fuckin arcade game and dogshit one at that
It’s sssssooooo ssssllllooooowwww.
Gameplay reminds me of those dreams where you’re running as hard as you can but still moving in slow-motion. Passing is worse too, hard to imagine they could make that worse.
dang gurl you can't call this brutally honest and then give a non-answer about should people buy it

He's very happy about losing the Stanley Cup 😂
Don't play HUT, Chel but this is the best version of the game in years!!!

You cant glitch anymore so he didn’t like it
Brody is the Goat
Bro really scored a one timer than complained when his opponent did 🙄
Hahaha right thats the nhl community for you... if they dont win by cross crease pass they complain about GLITCH GOALS LOL they do the same shit...Its a game have fun

I see progress. I hated NHL 24. It's by far my least played one from the franchise and I've bought every single one since NHL 98. Mind you it was PS4 but for whatever reason I just gave up. I didn't even bother with franchise. So, my "new" game for this year is NHL 24 franchise. I'm poor btw.

I stopped buying those trash games 2 years ago.
That was the best thing you could’ve done. There’s been no improvement or any change since then.
Trun up the game speed dude🤷♂️
Matching making sucks
The game is TRASH. If you must buy the trash - wait until Black Friday when it’s 50% off.
This isn’t much of a review. More whining than anything else. On to the next “review”!
Why don't you do a review then on RUclips?
We can hear you whine then.
You sound mad nhl games are trash calm down
Who plays NHL anyways the game is mostly dead even the online. Literally played with my buddy one match and wrecked players that have been playing for years lol.. hella sad stuff. Literally the same game every year with maybe a new coloured logo added to it. Quit wasting your money on crap like this and play some real games or go back to the older ones. 25 is literally the same as 24 but people still bought it lol it’s the same with NBA
You are clearly under the age of 20.
@@Jesusisking797congrats man?? What are u getting at here I’m confused.

Do you even watch hockey or know the rules? Some of your comments make it seem like you don't.
Welcome to one timer the game
More like “cross-crease”
The worst game I’ve ever played. Slow ass game
