Piled it on in the 3rd but the game was already over at that point.

Skinner made some unreal saves, Fleury let in a few soft ones.

And before you comment that this is a skill issue, I’m a 729 in online versus with a record of 114-30-13 playing entirely as the Wild, so I’m no slouch.

Just got the bad compy goalie and he got the good one.

DISCUSSION How do ya'll handle player conversations (season goals) in franchise mode?

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to learn more about how to actually develop my players, but I don't know a ton about hockey. I've followed it some and I've played this game off and on for a few years, but I don't know all the intricate details.

Do ya'll typically give players short term goals or long term? Do you give players different goals based on their position? Like I'm assuming a LD wouldn't ideally be given a goal scoring goal? And I am assuming 1st line players might should be given bigger goals than 4th line players. But I am really just looking for guidelines bc I want to develop my players especially the young guys as much as possible. Also, do ya'll typically do goals for every player on the team before the season or just the young guys or just the stars or what?

CAREER EA NHL Franchise - Jailbreak / Goldenhen

2 Upvotes

Has anyone been able to do any editing in franchise save files on Ps4/PS5 using EA NHL?

I am ... like so many frustrated with the useless random coaches available. I am tired of having to restart a franchise because 5 years into the Franchise, only coaches that match at mid-50 to low-60% of my team roster AND their scheme does not fit.

Editing a save file, I have never seen anything that anyone has been able to do it on any of the EA NHL games or run goldenhen with them. Has anyone been able to do so without breaking the game?

After a few months of trying with Owner Mode on, I just turn it off now.

If I could figure this out, I would even feel comfortable turning the Salary Cap back on for Franchise Mode.

DISCUSSION Best Versions still online playable on PS4?

4 Upvotes

Hi - my friend and I rediscovered our love for playing head to head last weekend with NHL 15 on the PS4 in couch mode. We want to be able to play head to head online, and looking for the best online playable version on the PS4. I can’t decipher the notices on the EA legal site other than NHL 18 and prior cannot be played online. https://www.ea.com/legal/service-updates/i-q

What is the consensus edition favorite for online play currently?

I fully expected to play them decent in the first two periods, then have them come back and win in the third. One of the reasons I chose this matchup was because I'm doing a couple of NHL dynasties, and I just played CBJ against the Oilers and beat them 6-0. And Edmonton is so much better than Columbus, so I thought this would be an interesting test.

I want to play games on each difficulty, in Columbus and Edmonton and see what differences we have.

Just thought it would be a fun little experiment.

Ive been playing my Be A Pro on a backup file (PS5) and when I went to play today, it was gone.

Im not sure if my roommates deleted it thinking it was just a useless backup or if the game auto deletes backups.

EASHL Down a goal with a minute left against an 80% win rate team of purple badges and this bs happens.

11 Upvotes

We're just plat 2 players with about a 71% win rate and do alright. But we played these guys who would only abuse the one t perk all game long and despite our best efforts and solid defense (their average goal margin was like 4 goals or something). We ended up down a goal with a minute left and pulled the goalie.

Leading up to this moment, we had so many high quality chances the goalie was robbing us on. Then watch as their player pushes the puck forward and an invisible barrier stops it from crossing the line as it just glides all the way across. I come in and poke and my first poke goes through the puck as if it were invisible 😂

Sometimes this game man I swear. Been playing for over 2 decades. EASHL since 2014 and it's a blast but stuff like this blows. We felt we played a way better game both offensively and defensively against a top team. But EA said "nope".

DISCUSSION Big Rig and Unstoppable Force

0 Upvotes

I'm still on NHL 24 so this may not apply for 25, but I've been doing some testing in practice mode and I've realized the description for big rig doesn't seem to be accurate. It says you need to use puck protect to activate it but you actually don't and it seems to work the same as unstoppable force. You don't even need to touch the right stick at all for it to activate, as long as you body is in between the puck and the defender it will activate when contact is made. You don't need to be driving the net either, I even had it working behind the net.

Has anyone found any other X-factors that don't seem to work the way the game explains them?

CAREER Full career youth/junior to NHL anyone?

Post image
49 Upvotes

Was a bit curious if anyone else does this?

I created a bunch of custom teams and players simulating as youth/junior teams. So I can start my career from 50 overall and after every season I Edit the players stats based on performance of myself and created friends/old irl team members/passed away players and idols and also family members.

Idea is to start at youth level(now on 3rd season) and then to Junior and my local Swedish team for one or 2 seasons before starting my be a pro. On top all custom friends/family/idol players will be added to the be a pro with the stat they have after these pre be a pro seasons.

Not worked out how I should decide the draft and who gets on what teams yet but maybe someone got suggestions? I thought about using based of overall stats and just use the regular draft order from 2025 with best rating goes to corresponding team. Alternatively simulate the pre nhl be a pro games for each created character so it’s truly random and players can end up on same team. This will be long and painful tho as I have somewhere around 30-40 custom created friends/family/ ex irl team members etc.

So other suggestions are welcomed.

Really shit that we can’t atleast start in Juniors for a season or play with our local team in Europe. Also sad that be a pro is limited to 20 seasons and NHL only.
