Hello I have a question, so I want to be able to play in my home jersey/character when I play pro am I always end up in my away jersey when I play the pro am chapter games to earn points and what not I'm just not sure if I'm able to change to my home jersey to play the pro am games, also I have another question since I'm new to playing the new controls because I'm used to the NHL 94 controls, I've finished NHL 23 all the pro am games I don't think I'll ever be quite good enough to play online which is why I'm gonna ask what are to upgrade my level which is 13 at the moment? :)

But what was this?

It’s happened a few times now where a top 100-ish player beats me easily. Fair enough—I’ll admit it can even be educational to some extent. The guy has skills!

But here’s the issue: this talented EA skater then proceeds to DM or hop on the mic to brag, calling me bad and all the other things we’ve all heard before.

To you, young EA prodigy: while you clearly have skills in the game, I’d suggest working on your social skills. I’m just a dad playing a few games to relax after putting my kid to sleep—I don’t need your power trip. You got the W, so take it and move on.

What more do you need? Nobody cares that you’re 323-1-10. If you need to brag about how good you are, maybe it’s time to find something genuinely fulfilling in life.

Im Xbox series S can I play NHL25 against a ps5 user

Since using these sliders, the game feels far more authentic and true to life, which is great, but I am still having some issues with goals.

• Mode: Offline only ('Play Now' for the moment, but will progress to Franchise once I get these right)
• Difficulty: Pro (I was playing on All Star for a challenge, but it's way too hard and unenjoyable for me)
• Period Length: 5 mins (I feel this is pretty good)

Most of the stats look pretty true to life, other than the goals. Seldom do my games have more than 3-4 goals combined, and I'm rarely able to score more than 2. This is probably due to lower percentage shots, but even the CPU isn't scoring a bunch.

Penalties are also a bit wonky. I am taking a LOT of tripping minors (because I abuse/mistime the poke), but there is barely any cross-checking, boarding, charging, elbowing, interference etc. on either side. I typically only get 1-2 PP opportunities per game. The CPU gets more, but because I'm a tripping merchant and still manage to kill most of them successfully.

I feel I am very close, but just looking to see whether anyone else uses these sliders and can offer some advice.

So having taken off the last few years from Franchise mode, I have made a return to it and not had much success with my teams even though on paper they seem decent with overalls and a decent defense and goaltending.

Despite this, it seems like having a good season can sometimes be like win the cup or have a solid run in the playoffs to not making the playoffs. So I am curious what to know when making a solid team for years to come and how do I assure when configuring my defense that each player lines up well according to their playstyle for the boost rating?

For the past couple weeks, most of the times I've tried it, my player's done this behind the back thing that never connects.

Can be a winger or defender! On xbox, but both of us have discord!

just started my first be a pro ever today, but I cant simulate shifts and be forced to watch whole game. Advices?

NHL 25, PS5. I just want to rant for a bit.

Tried Online VS with my buddy today. Tried matchmaking 6 times. 2 times were able to enter a game with no issues. 2 times one of us got an error just as the game started, and twice NHL crashed altogether.

An entire hour spent just sending an invite, waiting to find an opponent, waiting for the match to start only to be thrown out and having to start the entire game from the PS menu.

There are countless bugs and glitches in every mode in this game. Some have been there for years, but there are many new ones as well. It's at a point, where it's starting to actually make me want to stop playing.

WoC Loadout edit screen is a joke. 90% of the time, if you change the weight of your player, the menu freezes or glitches and you have to wait entire minutes to recover. This worked fine in 23, but has been broken since 24.

About 20% of the time, the quick Edit Loadout menu in the club dressing room gets stuck, so you can't choose Ready and you have to leave and re-enter the dressing room to continue.

Franchise mode menu is pretty much unusable, because it's so slow. I don't understand how menus were always fine in PS2 era but with all the technological advances, it's somehow impossible to create usable menus anymore. The slowness is one thing, but it's even more aggravating, when everything looks like it's loaded so you try to use the menu, but you end up entering the wrong menu because the menu was still loading something and one of your inputs didn't register. Please, at least tell me that the menu is not usable yet so I don't waste even more time going in and out of menus I didn't want to enter!

In EASHL, the PP timer doesn't work most of the time, which is a huge pain. The PP timer??? It's as basic a feature as they come. This was broken in 24 as well, but I imagined that since they remade the HUD, they might've fixed this but instead it's even more broken!

The game has been out for 2 months already! Some of these issue have been there for years!

(Also, we'd really like to have our Club's logo back. We have used the ship's wheel as our logo since 2018 and haven't been able to get it since 22, when we finally got it 2 weeks before 23 came out. We have played over a thousand games and opened hundreds of club bags since then and still don't have our logo. This is ridiculous.)

I bought an old xbox one for my son and was going to buy/download NHL 24 for him, but it's still 59.99 in the EA store? Anyone know why this is? 25 has been out for months now.

I'm new to NHL games & NHL in general.

Currently attempting a Be A Pro campaign as a goalie & trying to figure out what training sessions are most important for a Goalie.

I can't seem to find a good explanation for breakaway training & whether it is or isn't imporgant for a Goalie. Sone of the training sessions are obviously important for Goalies.

Is breakaway training important for Goalies or is that more for the other players on the ice?

Is there a penalty called for teabagging this year? Playing 3s club finals, my teammate smoked a guy who was down on the ice, I skated over top of him and teabagged once and play immediately stopped and they got a penalty shot. The replay showed me teabagging the guy as the penalty. We didn’t know that was a thing, none of us had ever seen it.

Just started a season mode in the WHL so obviously it's slower than in the NHL. I'm 5 games into the season and this game I'm on now feels wayyy faster then the other ones so far. It feels like all the players are NHL speed

I have tried giving this game a chance on multiple occasions and I can’t even finish a game without quitting mid game and turning a different game on.

Can’t hit. Skating is slow. My shots go nowhere.

I’m not very good at video games as a whole, but I was above average while playing NHL 22 (the last nhl game I owned and this game makes me feel like I haven’t played this game for a second on my life.

I just wish EA actually cared about the product rather than just making a profit

Just wondering on what the criteria for goals are in this game? Because it’s not strategy passing, or shot placement.

I'm looking to get "the best" ps3 NHL game. This would be just for the occasional pick-up and play. Not looking to invest a great deal of time in it.

I've searched around, and the answer seems to be NHL 14. However, when I look at metacritic, reviews have 09 through 12 as the best, with 14 not so much. Fan reviews are aligned. So what's the story? Are the early games reviewed best because that's when the improvements came, and after 12 it got stale? Did the reviewers put too much emphasis on comparing to the previous year, and that's why 14 is ranked lower, and in a vacuum, 14 really is best?

Is it possible to switch goalies mid game? I can’t find an option in “Edit Lines”.

This is my first NHL game since NHL 2001 on PS2 so this may be a stupid question.

When I'm controlling a player and poke check the puck away from the guy I'm defending, the AI players I'm not controlling on my team will just start back skating and not go after the puck when it's within stick reach of them. 90% of the time when I switch to the closest player, the CPU controlled team has already jumped on the puck. Is there something I can do to fix this?

Anyone have sliders for playing goalie in BaP. Can’t find any good ones

I cannot seem to get these three achievements/trophies in NHL 25 and I cannot find any guides online with tips. Any suggestions or tips on how to get these? Thanks in advance

Hey everyone. Just wanted to ask a question about custom teams. So I primarily played NHL with my brother and we always created our own custom teams. In nhl24 there was a huge problem where if you played 2 custom teams against each other the jersey numbers would either be bugged out (both teams would have the home team color/font or the numbers and names wouldn’t show up at all). It was really disappointing and ended up not playing much cuz of it. Anyone know if this problem exists in 25? Would like to know before I spend the cash on it. Thanks!
