STOP funding EA Sports with HUT Packs. Streamers have ruined the community by doing this. It has been years since they have made any improvements to game modes besides HUT, EASHL and WOC. Gotta feel for the Offline Community. All we want is GM Connected, Franchise Mode, and Be A Pro to be brought back or improved. EA Sports listens to 1 group of people and its unacceptable after 10yrs.
In Sweden the base edition is 88 USD and the deluxe edition is 108 USD (with the 10% you save from owning the previous game). I remember being able to pick up NHL 20 or something for like 50-60 USD a week after launch.
I think you undervalue the 7 days early access. In this 1 week alot could be done, depending on which events are already in and maybe only available for this week. Auction could go creazy as well, because the ration between buyers how wants to get everything as fast as possible and supply will be at best for sellers i guess.
This game needs line changes. To either change a selected build or a Stam gain. Sticks need to be solid objects. Check n shoot need to not be the same button. Right stick should always be stick control. Example. Opponent passes to opponent. You push up or whatever direction the puck is at to intercept. Goalies …just fix goalies. HUT is a money grab. But the potential behind 12 player in house tournaments is huge.
I am in between of opinion for 7 days early for the expensive version. On the otherhand those that buy it, should really get something worth the price difference. On the other hand, i want the expensive version, battlepass and mt off from sports gaming all together. I dont recommend anyone preordering until you test the game out on EA play.
I’m someone who put money on packs and found HUT boring after 3 months… this year I Go Free2Play because seeing you do it looks a lot more fun!! So Hype for this one
No the 7 days is just brilliant!! I stick with my regular edition. If a couple days in when all the complaints arrive, I'll decide than if my ore order gets canceled when it's the same game! 😂 u days just gives more time to decide. Shout out from Haifax NS. Love the channel. U from Canada to?
Want to add that you can get EA play, purchase the game for a discount and get the early access and then cancel EA play and get refunded the $7.99 as long as you do it before 30 days.

I pre-ordered the Deluxe version as usual. I invite EVERYBODY'S THOUGHTS with honest opinions on the purpose of having an "Immediate reward" of a 99ovr Hughes brother in NHL '24, when you're buying the bloody '25 version? I look forward to ALL of your answers guys! Thx
Hey @sleeves do you know if when we order the deluxe version and get 7 days early access is there a 10 hour cap? Or do we get to play as many hours as we want during those 7 days?? Thanks man!!
So the cover athlete choice pack says 1/8, but there’s 14 signatures on the pack. I assumed it would be the most recent 8 but I hope I can take Bergeron!
@@SleevelessGaming the only players I care about is Pavel Bure and Dominik Hasek. Unfortunately Hasek is the reason I lose games which I hope one day they get the goalies right and make him one of the greatest in the game as he should be.
When I saw the EA jacket I thought you might be becoming a shill. Nice to see you're still keeping it real. Hope that doesn't change. Curious to see your take, once more info is available, about whether this is a pure copy paste of NHL 24.
Usually they show something by now while beating their chests as "a brand new feature " almost always something that was done long before and taken away. And the last countless years almost all copy paste. This year it is crickets. I have serious concern they are afraid to show anyone anything incase it refrains them from buying at all at this point.
Will wind up going deluxe edition pre-order as usual but wish they'd do the HUT deep dive early instead of late so we could really see if its worth it.
Is there not a physical deluxe edition? I wanted to get the deluxe edition to get all 3 of them on the cover but if the deluxe is only digital I’ll just get a regular physical copy
its useful only if you play HUT and use those extras. if you just play a game here and there from time to time its not worth it. i only play local exhibition games with my friend from time to time and sometimes a online game thats about it so i dont need the extras.
I need more new on NHL25 - NHL 24 is first NHL game i quit playing before new years :( I am hoping for less arcady vibes this year. I always was confused how they let us edit all the things we want but yet cant turn off "full preasure mode" in NHL24 - playing so much hockey RL - how many times does a team get preasured then goes down to the other end and team scores, there was no reward for being full presured but like exiting the zone.. plus not everyone potatos under preasure lol
The 99-overall player is a reward for pre-ordering but you get the 99-overall player for NHL 24, so no worries, we will not have 99's skating around NHL 25 early on.
@@ActNasty5Their sales always drop off the years when they do playtests. They'd rather hide the game for as long as possible now because they know they aren't putting out the best product.
I wish EA would do something for us offline players. NHL 10 I remember I got a card in my game that gave me access to a Patrick Kane stick, Patrick Kane gloves and helmet for my be a pro player. Why not do something like that now.
I decided that I was going to give myself a Christmas gift early. So I went ahead and said f it. I love hockey and I will get it. My original nhl EA branded game was the 2000 pc version. I was able to play through the entire season only losing 3 games. This is because they had a true top down camera angle. Made it much easier to control with a keyboard and mouse. I purchased 24 and enjoyed a good amount of a season since it was around January and got it at a decent discount. My problem is. This is a multi national sport that makes more money internationally combined than the NFL. If ea put as much into this sport that they did for nfl 25 they would increase the user base of the game and margin X 100. But because they are limiting their budget and shoveling the same game year after year. It’s not going to sell like nfl or ncaa football. I got the nba 2024 for free as it was at the end of the nba season. I was definitely disappointed with the game. EA sports need to have a meeting and consider what’s happening with the way they make their games. Because this will be the last ea game I get until they realize if they put more money into development (especially the graphics and shader development). They have the equipment to render a 100 million poly model in about 2 minutes with full textures and texture mapping on a full team in a fully rendered arena.
They’re eventually introducing paid battle pass into HUT aren’t they? $130 + $10/mo (or whatever) just to play HUT. That’s probably why they combined the SB/Rival/Champs into one XP Path
If I have to get 5000 hits 2000 goals and 1000 stick lifts with crappy cards to complete objectives then I'm not getting the game. I can't do all that again. Give me dynamic interesting objectives and I'll buy it.
Not thinking about ordering it, all Montreal again, caufield, Suzuki, slavkovski, Roy, price, guhle, like they’re stacked, I’m a jets fan, we don’t have 1 player we can use in hut, lol, cause we suck big time
my problem, and it always like that, we receive all the stuff only if we preordrer before 13 september. And then the deep dive arrive few days before the game, i know i can cancel my preorder, but i just feel ea always try to make us buy the game for the goodies and not because of the actual game, this year im waiting for the deep dive, and probably gonna wait and see the feedback for the complete week, im too fucking tired of the many screw up of ea in the last year, im waiting this this. at least, ill try, i miss hockey :p

It feels like it was much more worth it to pre order 24 with the 2 team builders.
About time they ended supporting old gen! Hopefully this allows NHL to finally take a step forward.
Sure it will, looks like the same game lmaoo.
NHL 15 proved that "moving to a new engine" actually hurt the franchise WAY MORE.

This game needs line changes. To either change a selected build or a Stam gain. Sticks need to be solid objects.
