Hope you guys enjoyed the video! I forgot to mention ONLY the 32 current NHL Head Coaches have been added to the game (no assistants or former coaches). Also the coaches are only in Franchise Mode, Season Mode, Online VS and Play Now. They weren't added to Be A Pro as they'd have to add in new cut scenes for each coach :(
I’m from the same town as the LA Kings head coach and he used to coach my local team long time ago and we had a amazing 2 season with him 32-20-6-2 in 2004-2005 and 43-13-3-2 in 2005-2006
I simmed one season and Torts retired, wish I could merge vasy(and yours) roster so I could have accurate draft classes. Plus they still have Carter Hart as an 85 overall goalie. So they really didn't pay any attention to anything.
Definitely agree that they were way too generous with these coaching ratings. As a blues fan, Bannister is definitely B or B- at best. And his line preferences are horrendous. I'll be trading him out immediately every time I start a new franchise.
Just so you know I’ve started a couple franchises with the same team to see if the coaches preferences or stats change. It seems like their preferences are always the same but I have seen some slight variations with the ratings. Their overall seems to be consistent, but like in one their PP might be an A, in another it might be an A-. So just to say all these coaching grades might vary slightly for everyone else
So, the line preferences are always the same like Hold Line/Shoot on D? That's where my coach falls and I feel like you almost never find those type of players in a draft.
@ they’re a little bit more common this year (they literally didn’t exist last year) but yes correct. If a coach has hold line shoot, he always will when you start a new franchise
@ that isn’t the coach changing it’s your players. Players preferences have always been randomized when you start a new FM. So like Cale Makar might have been pinch/cycle in one and hold line/shoot in the next
As he said in the beginning, just another removed feature added back and marked as new, this shouldn’t be celebrated. Fuck EA, I hate them with all my heart!
The team fit for the coaches changes depending where in the line up you have players. For example I saw that Hedman had very low "chemistry" on Tampa Bay which lowers the team fit % for Cooper. If you place Hedman at another pairing (I suspect he´s on the 1st pairing) and he fit´s better there, Coopers team fit will increase. On the other hand, you don´t wanna play Hedman on the 3rd pairing getting 12 minutes/game. I wish you could change the style of play for each fw line or d pairing so they play according to how its fits the players. It will still be a challenge to find 3 fw or 2 d that fits well together to get + ratings and good coach chemistry.
I wish they would have added the assistant coaches and all of that as well, it'd been dope to make seattle kraken the first team with a woman head coach
Half-assed update that too many people are excited about. Only 32 new faces, 2/3rds of which you wouldn't know who it is without being told first, with minimal diversity in their stats. Now lets add all the assistant coaches as well, plus former head coaches that might make a comeback this year, for example, Jay Woodcroft. That way, if I want to replace a coach, which I probably wouldn't because they're all A teaching and coaching influence (which annoys me that it doesn't deteriorate over time), I have options.
Damn TacTix been a long time I haven’t seen a video of you since I stopped playing EA SPORTS NHL. I remember when you used to absolutely own me on NHL 16 I lost like 7 times to you 💀
I heard merging custom rosters with EA rosters work. Your CAP stays, but need to move for right teams. NHL player ratings reset, so they need to made again.
They gave Torts an A eh? I approve but the internet is gonna riot 😆 edit: oh. nvm. I see. they gave every employed head coach an A 🤦 Wait... teaching is fine but... how is Ruff's defense higher than his offesne? Have they never seen a Ruff team play in the last 10 years..?
Ask EA why coaches are tied to rosters, also when is GM connected being added to the NHL series anytime soon or what now I’m not sure what else to say bye
Okay the did a lot of glazing here, somehow paul Maurice is perfect and bruce cassidy is somehw not as good despite winning it all in 2023 and lets all be honest, THEY GOAZED THE HLL OUT OF SHELDON KEEFE BRO IS SOFT HE SHOULD HAVLOWER PENALTY KILL AND DEFENSE. And finally, save my man Jim Montgomery he got robbed of A+ he is a very good coach, underrated since 2023

I started a new franchise mode after the update and the coaches aren’t in it???

I like the new feature where Florida’s gm can ask your coach (Paul Maurice) to go to Turkey for a hair transplant in the off season.
LMFAOOO

@@tateanderson213Thank you! I figured.
Also the fit does change as well cause I did it with Bednar and one he had like 52% and then had like 60% as well.

Holy shit what did they do to my man Paul Maurice, they did him dirty ngl
EA: Makes a minor upgrade to Franchise mode
Also EA: Adds interesting Coach updates requiring a new save
Yeah and it still didn't add them in for me.
Lindy looks like they started making Dan Granato, and changed it halfway through
W update been waiting for so long
As he said in the beginning, just another removed feature added back and marked as new, this shouldn’t be celebrated. Fuck EA, I hate them with all my heart!
@@gustavjohansson903 calm down buddy
Would not surprise me if Torts is considering a trip to the EA offices... Just to talk.
L O L
Why did tocchet get the cul-de-sac? 😂 he had the easiest model for hair.
Hynes looks like the kid from Bully all grown up
Great vid, agree some coaches are too high. Also Rick Tocchet was hired January 2023 middle of 22-23 season.
Ya that's what I mean, 2 years ago not last year haha
The Jim Montgomery and Cailou comment actually made me laugh out loud, holy shit

Ducks fan here.. Our Coach needs to have his rating change I would do B offense, B+ defense, F Powerplay, C Penalty Kill, the last two A+ is fine
If you want to use the new custom roster update you have to merge the files. Then click on the new file created to lock it in.
I wish they would have added the assistant coaches and all of that as well, it'd been dope to make seattle kraken the first team with a woman head coach
Roster scheme fits are wild.. what is the calculation behind them? Look at Winnipeg, Tampa roster scheme fits. Lol.
Half-assed update that too many people are excited about. Only 32 new faces, 2/3rds of which you wouldn't know who it is without being told first, with minimal diversity in their stats.

I am so glad the coaches are in! Definitely need some fixing lol are you able to see if they are able to tune them a little?
If already in a franchise can you add this in? Or do I need to restart? Thanks
so glad this is in game
Took them long enough
"We'll actually have John Tortorella"
Ok, but then why is that Wolf Blitzer?
I’m sorry Jaccob Slavin having that low of a scheme fit is wild
I restarted my franchise mode after update and I don’t see the coaches , there is still just the generic coaches . What am I doing wrong
Need to download most recent EA roster
Considering how the Leafs powerplay is, Berube should have an F (I know it’s Marc Savard’s fault but they don’t have the other coaches)
Will it update your franchises save? I started a new one with the update and it still didnt add them.
No :(
Lindy Ruff looks like Robert Englund in game 😂
The patch does not appear for me. How can I fix this?
“if Jim Montgomery and Caillou ever had a kid” what a cursed sentence
St.Louis model is no good. He’s not short enough 😂
LOL dang thats tough
So even with a new custom roster coaches won't work?
Nope they won’t work(thats just shows How lazy they are)
Looks like that guy on caspore 8:20 I forgot his name
I think someone needs to remind the devs that people ought to blink. Those mother flowers are creepy.
Damn TacTix been a long time I haven’t seen a video of you since I stopped playing EA SPORTS NHL. I remember when you used to absolutely own me on NHL 16 I lost like 7 times to you 💀
LMAO dang that's crazy! Appreciate you stopping by to check out this vid :)
Cronin A- wtf who is that guy
I didn’t even know there was the real coaches now
I pressed A on my Xbox controller to see record for cocked overall and it won’t pop up
L . Ruff looks like the actor Jean Reno
They will have to update most of the faces
BOUT FLIPPING TIME!!
I heard merging custom rosters with EA rosters work. Your CAP stays, but need to move for right teams. NHL player ratings reset, so they need to made again.
Ya exactly so a bunch of the work is thrown out the window which sucks
They gave Torts an A eh? I approve but the internet is gonna riot 😆
edit: oh. nvm. I see. they gave every employed head coach an A 🤦
Wait... teaching is fine but... how is Ruff's defense higher than his offesne? Have they never seen a Ruff team play in the last 10 years..?
EA was definitely just rolling dice or some shit to decide all the ratings here 😂
I guess tocchet has one of the best models but at least take all the hair off his head lol then it will look like him completely
How is Sheldon keefe lower then st Louis when buddy hasn’t even sniffed the ploffs 😂
I agree lmao
Someone find a workaround for custom rosters with coaches
Lalonde should be a C- overall
Do they have to rights to assistant coaches
Is coach challenge in the game?????
Bednar is still getting disrespected
When’s the pens franchise mode I’ve been looking every 30 mins for it to come out
Me too Spence he said it was coming out yesterday so I’m not sure why he said that?
@ Fr the pens are my favourite team so I’m so hyped to see him use them in nhl 25
@ yeah me too I’m from Pittsburgh
@ that’s tough I’m so jealous I live in a small random ass village basically in nb canada😅
@ aye happy to have you cheering us on maybe one day you can make it down to ppg paints
Ask EA why coaches are tied to rosters, also when is GM connected being added to the NHL series anytime soon or what now I’m not sure what else to say bye
I've asked 3 times lol
Bout time....
They arent showing up for me in franchise
have to start a new franchise with EA new roster update
@ ya then redo my entire roster? Ya no im good
@@YOUxx-_-x not missing much. all the coaches grades are totally not realistic. all of them are A- or higher overall
Thought Seattle had the female coach?
They do but no assistants added. Surprised they didn't make an exception for that team honestly
Okay the did a lot of glazing here, somehow paul Maurice is perfect and bruce cassidy is somehw not as good despite winning it all in 2023 and lets all be honest, THEY GOAZED THE HLL OUT OF SHELDON KEEFE BRO IS SOFT HE SHOULD HAVLOWER PENALTY KILL AND DEFENSE. And finally, save my man Jim Montgomery he got robbed of A+ he is a very good coach, underrated since 2023
Another L from the devs
95% of them look horrendous. Lalonde is hilariously bad haha.
Be lucky to even have them
@@bho30758 Lol gaming companies being lazy getting praised. Says a lot about gaming today ha.
Update broke eashl
How??
That is NOT Bruce Cassidy 😭
as a habs fan st louis is overated he doesnt deserve a in defense its either b- or c plus
Madden faces r great y can’t chel do that like holy chel faces r horrible
Not surprising other 5-7 these are awful and look nothing like them
patrick roy looks awful😂 some are not that bad but roy is beyond bad
This game is terrible
They look so bad in game come on…
Lmao looks like ps3/xbox360 graphics 😂😂 atrocious dev team
