NHL 25 WISHLIST FOR HUT!

Can we see your hockey cards and jerseys in the background sometime. I have always been eying your tim stützle yg.

I would love a HUT playoff mode where can play a full 16 team playoff vs random opponents. Probably an offline mode as it would be tough to get someone to play you potentially 7 times

So, i agree with most of your points here, my only criticism, is that they are being presented in August, when, lets be honest, NHL 25 is pretty much developed, and any major changes aren't going to happen in the final stages of development, my suggestion, is include these improvements throughout the year when they have time to do it. It would also be great to do a follow up video, for example, how long it takes you to build a card from scratch (making sets, adding collectibles, upgrading the card), then you can highlight how these outdated processes are time consuming and need to be changed

For a new game mode, I'd love to see nightly tournaments/playoffs (similar to how Rocket League is structured). 5 v. 5 starts every night at 6 pm and 3 v. 3 starts each night at 9 pm. You match in the round of 16 and need to win 4 consecutive games for the cup/gold. Have tiered rewards based on where you finish that are immediately redeemable. Ideally, you'd have skilled based entry requirements based on the division of the player, but the player base might not be large enough to accommodate that. Rewards need to be worthwhile but can be based around packs, coins, event items, collectables, special customization items. Giving players a choice is always best. I think this would get players logging in each night to have a shot at competitive games and immediately claimable rewards. Just the 2 cents of a guy who's gamed every chel since Forsberg was on the cover of '98.

Awesome wish list. Love the point about out of position players and collecting cards from other leagues. The game so much potential and all we have is just hope that maybe one day we will see some of it.

Maybe I missed this being stated…but not a single slot for gameplay? 24 gameplay somehow more broken and worse than previous years. For example, the friendly AI is the dumbest it’s ever been. Skating in the zone and I cut back..meanwhile my forward is sitting there looking at me, and then proceeds to skate directly into my path, and then NOT Move when I contact them…it’s literally a 6th defender, and it’s infuriating and happens constantly…cannot recall that happening much as far back as I can remember in nhl series. Maybe a whole separate vid for gameplay, keeping online AND single player modes in mind please.

You on to something with moments, hopefully they listen ! EA desperately needs to look at MLB The Show and use some of their ideas !

the issue with collections is back in the day you had guys like Brian Mcgratten, a silver going for 15k cause the flames had no one. If EA can figure out how to avoid something like that, im all for it see everyone in like 2 months for our daily chores of rivals, champs and squad battles

I wish objectives had no time limit. I have kids also and my time is limited. I can’t complete these insane objectives is the time given. Just get rid of the time restraints and let me do it when I have time !!

livin' up to your moniker!!!!

3 simple improvements for me are - 1) every card should be tradeable - 2) First and Last menu movement with LT/RT(L2/R2) and 3) ability to mark a card as favourite/lock ... so it can NOT be pulled into a set/quick sold without unlocking the card first

@5:45 to add to this. The objectives don’t need to be timed. Score 10/30/50 goals with Scott Gomez to upgrade him. And that doesn’t need to be timed.

Love team building boosts idea to make using you favourite team and collecting a team set, to unlock a captain special card. This could tie in to a new mode best of 7 series every weekend that is team locked or division locked. Win 4 games get your cup and rewards and then a progressive reward, get 3 cups get packs or power ups etc...

Man do I agree with everything you say! Love the X-Factor upgrade idea and have been wanting it for years now. No way that if I pull a 95 Makar I cannot merge it with my X-Factor to get the 95 X-Factor version. Would make the LM and TOTW cards hold way more value for the X-Factor players.

Honestly as a whole I want a revamped draft champs challenge, we havent had one since nhl 20 and it was fun until your bottom 2 lines that are silver just tank your team and lose, full 4 line forward draft, 3 line defense draft and 2 goalies and divide the drafts into catagories like the young guns, vets., speed, etc. Would be so nice if it tied into hut challenges or rewards

Love love love love what u said about the objective completion upgrades for the example of Joel Eriksson Ek

love the chemistry theme team idea

Great video my man! I like your out of position, lose overall idea. Maybe not as extreme as -5 to all stats, but maybe -3? Or -3 to wingers and -5 to centers (since it’s harder) and then for D maybe -2 for opposite side? I know there’s not a lot of them, but the players that have played D and F (like Burns for example) should be able to play both positions (or at least not center lol) but it should be on his MSP so that’s the only card you can swap positions on (and maybe since it’s an MSP you don’t get the attribute penalty?) I miss when adding a captain or alternate captain to your player MEANT something. You either got +2 to all stats or +1. I’d like them to bring that back. I’d also like if Born Leader was tied to it, so like the only way you could use Born Leader is if your player is a captain or alternate (or the cards in the Captain sets) I know born leader isn’t used a whole lot, but if it unlocked it as a selectable 2nd gold or selectable 6th silver that’d be cool. It’d also be great early game. Let’s say the base Macklin Celebrini is 80 overall with no traits. I put make him a captain and he’s an 82 overall with gold born leader. Or I make him alternate and he’s an 81 overall with silver gold leader. And for the LOVE of god, tie ALL the goalie equipment to the helmet so if I put a sharks helmet on Broduer, he gets shots pads, gloves and blocker instead of the devils. I’d love the option to choose a team the player played for before. So like for a Hertl card It’s released and found under the golden knights, but on the card I can select to change him to the sharks (but only in my line up) Oh and lastly, maybe your arena gives you a boost to your cards. So if you’re using the Shark Tank, then any card affiliated with the Sharks (sharks player cards, barracuda player cards, the Hertl idea I mentioned earlier) those cards get +1 to all their stats. It’ll make build a team you want with players you want THAT much better.

I love the point about the positions of players I feel like players should have a primary position where they can play and be eligible for chemistry boosts And some have a secondary position where they can’t get chemistry boosts but their base attributes don’t change and then at any other position they lose attributes I also think player type should matter and chemistry should be based on line mates like in franchise so if you balance your lines you get an attribute boost(but only for players in their primary position like I mentioned above) and if you run 3 snipers or something you get negative attribute effects

One small thing I wish they would change is picking players to put in the squad. Wish I could put multiple people in the squad at once instead of doing it one by one. Kind of like FIFA where you go to the club, press a button, then I can pick a player for the position, tap R1 and then pick another then repeat until the team is filled. Just would save so much time and less annoying.
