It taking them only like 9 days to fix these issues makes me furious as to why they didn't just take some extra time to get last week's patch out in a properly acceptable state.
Presumably they had the devs working extra crunch to get this fixed this quick. This is what happens when higher level management doesn't give a damn about the end product.
Data, the issue of getting more than 82 games played is pretty easy to avoid. Since the last patch you can slow-sim a game then slow-sim the same game again if you hit buttons fast enough and aren't careful when it returns to the main FM menu after the first slow-sim (the "Sim Game" button won't immediately change to "Sim To Next Game" as it should---there's a delay, so if you hit it quick enough it starts the slow-sim over). That's how you end up with more than 82 games played. If you're careful and don't do that, you won't have more than 82 games (I accidentlly did it once and learned my lesson and haven't done it again). It's very possible this new patch may fix it anyways, as the delay in the "Sim Game" switching to "Sim To Next Game" appears to be the same delay that happens in the scout assignment screen (about 2 seconds).
Interesting! So I get that and I'm glad to know that it's easy to avoid, but I still don't want to have to avoid it when it shouldn't exist, you know what I mean? 😂 But glad to know it's avoidable if cautious. Thanks Michael!
@@Data782 I totally get what you mean. But with EA's holiday break rapidly approaching, I'd rather they get this patch out before the holiday break fixing the (extremely painful) lag in the Scouting and Edit Lines screens, than waiting until after the holidays to get everything fixed in one patch.
I've found that I have the game counting as multiple games issue is when I hit sim game then interrupt it to play in the game. What I've discovered is that when it does this you can just hit advance day. The game seems to remember what the result was and proceeds normally displaying the correct score on the day and not adding an extra game.
Neither have I! Thanks for the kind word, it's my pleasure to try and get as much information as possible to the community :) Be sure to take a look at my analysis of the patch as things look good to go for the most part in Franchise!
What's amazing to me is how the biggest, game breaking glitches in this game aren't even really related to the newest features. The convo glitches or the strategies resetting if you talk to the coach in preseason are no doubt annoying. But scouting, edit lines, find trade, games played in the standings, and the re-sign phase all becoming absolutely broken? What the hell? Wish I could say I was surprised, but... EA. And the lag... I don't understand why EA added the processing delay when the lag was already becoming unbearable. I can go back to the first NHL game I ever played, NHL 12 on the PS3, and while the sim there is still very slow, the menus move like butter. A game made 13 years ago doing what a game on the PS5 cannot. What annoys me is I bought the game on sale one day before patch 1.3.0 got dropped. Still feels like I got ripped off because I really want to experiment with the new features, because I like the idea of the offseason training growth, real coaches, and most of the conversation system (although from the gameplay I've watched, some of the goals seem ridiculous and I think they need to put in NHL 26 that you can scale the goals). With how they're set up now, it barely seems worth it to do preseason goals unless the player is an absolute stud or they can block shots.
You hit the nail on the head! Exactly! To have issues to iron out with new elements is one thing, but to then have totally unrelated things fall apart just boggles my mind. Brutal luck with your date of purchase, but fingers crossed for a meaningful patch on Monday! It won't change the embarrassment of the patch from two weeks ago, but it'd go a long way to show that the basics of the game can be counted on without having to worry about every patch. And great suggestion about scaling the goals in NHL 26! 100% agreed. Thanks for leaving your thoughts and looking forward to Monday!
A fun one i found today was i fired my head coach year 1, hired a new one and simmed the entire year with the new coach.. Had saved and exited the game, came back later on in the day to start season 2 and my ORIGINAL head coach i fired in year 1 was rehired to my team for year 2?? I had to redo all my coaching changes again. And the only reason i noticed is because my chemistries were completely different when starting year 2 which made me check my coaching staff, just to see i magically had the original coach back. And no, i dont have any autostaffing switched on
I'm speechless with this one 😭😭 Come on now!! Just over 12 hours away from finding out whether or not Franchise Mode will be playable before 2025. Thanks for sharing!
It's absolutely absurd that it even came to this, but it is a credit to the new dev team that they're putting this out. I think the real takeaway is that the game is just broken at a fundamental level . It really speaks to the state of the game that the devs are having such a hard time implementing anything new. Honestly seems like they need to scrap the game and start from a blank slate. The Jump to the PS4/Xbox whatever, really screwed the game.
Ya when you just keep adding layers of paint doesn't fix the problem just mask it but not really especially in ea case showing more & more of the flaws
Precisely! Aside from all of the thoughts/concerns/opinions about EA and whether or not they care or whatever else you want to call it, the main takeaway for a little while now seems to be that, as you said, the game is just BROKEN at a fundamental level and the only way to fix that will be to completely start over from scratch. It it takes more broken patches to highlight that more and more then I can endure the suffering for now, but everyone's patience has a limit.
@@Data782 EA is really going to chase away the small community of hockey fans they have and then blame the 'market not being big enough'. If you make a good game, people will play it. FIFA was/is huge in the US despite no one caring about soccer. Even for a die hard hockey fan like myself, it's just not worth buying.
The big issue that I hate the most that happened to me in Franchise mode was when I made a contract with one of my rookies it didn't count it because it did it too early. Then when I did it on the first day of resign phase it took off one year of his ELC. This is a Franchise rated rookie too... Edit: Also the player season/offseason goals conversations don't seem to work. They don't ever seem to get the stats even if you accomplish the goals and there's no option to talk to them again about it.
2:25 I would like to say I did explain how to stop this glitch at least.. when you click and go to the next player, hit square and it stopped the glitch. But still annoying
I'm so glad I found this. I've been noticing a number of glitches, but was able to shrug most of them off and keep playing. Ran into one tonight though that was driving me nuts where cap was tight and I needed to re-sign my 4th line and 6th defenseman. Only way to make it work was with NMC or NTC. When I advanced, the players would accept and then still show up as "needing to be re-signed." Tried simming to FA to see if maybe the game corrected itself (like with the 82+ game glitch from slow simming), but it wasn't. Point of all this being, despite how frustrated I am it does feel better knowing this is a legit issue and not just my game/system being dumb. As someone who tries so hard not to complain about stuff like video games, especially for franchises that I know full well going in are notorious for having issues, this is just getting BEYOND out of hand.
Reading what you said is exactly why I haven’t bought a NHL game since 23…. Because I knew with this SUPPOSEDLY new dev team which I don’t think they are new at all I think they are just jumping departments but I knew there would be ALOT of issues with them claiming to get a hold of the new system but I just don’t think these issues will be fixed in the next 2-3 years if ever
I'm right there wth you, Dillon! I try to be as balanced as possible and give credit where credit is due without sounding like a complainer for every little thing, but I've had enough now and I think the vast majority within the community are feeling the same. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I had a great offseason, the conversations with the players I wanted went great and then that stupid soft lock happened I had to reboot my game and of course when I tried those conversations again it wasn’t as successful. I was so pissed
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ I'm sorry to hear that! I know exactly what you're saying 😭 Thankfully that has been fixed in the newest patch so fingers crossed it stays that way!
Also, I do not understand why they don t have the possibility to scan our face for the creation of a player in NHL25, si ce we could do it in MLB The Show 24 (baseball).
I want to ask a question to anyone reading this... Do you notice the pattern EA has created? They'll release a broken game that shouldn't even be released in the state that it's in. Then release muitple patches to patch up what should of already been fixed to go into the next installment in this case nhl 26 and barely make little changes to the game but consistently raise prices & then have the excuse of well we did this this & this & that's why we didn't make and changes to the newest game but if that's not the reason it genuinely makes you wonder who at EA approves these games like do they not test these games or test any of the things they implement into the game ? They can't because if they are they should all be fired for the poor lack of attention to detail they have. They have these games for a entire year there's no way they don't notice the things we do in a few games with a entire year before the game launches....this is y I haven't bought a NHL game in 3 years
You are completly right. I agree with you. EA thinks that we are stupid ? NHL26 Will be without me…. I Started 3 times a franchise mode and 3 times an update came and destroyed what I had done
@@noslipups3657 Probably means triple a gaming, mass releasing dog shit over and over and over again and people will just keep buying because they are shit eaters.
@Takhar7 nope not buying it... I played the game 20 years ago. Light years better. Played the first nhl in 1994 and this wasn't the case... You're making excuses for pathetic people that are stealing our money year in year out
At least they are listening to the community a little better than the last regime. But even letting it get to this point is crazy - how did they not realize that one of their biggest game modes was unplayable?
@ the previous ea team would have left this for months with no patch and no communication on whether a fix was coming. Standards are low but at least they are doing something
@ my man if they were doing something & listening to us we wouldn’t be having this conversation because the game wouldn’t have been released in the state that it’s currently in that’s doing something. Them fixing some shh that should of never been put out how it was isnt a win or a plus because that takes away from them actually fixing nhl 26 if they even do anything meaningful to it
Well said! I agree with you that it's nice to be heard and get a patch (we'll see if it works) within a couple of weeks which is a huge improvement on the previous team that left us in the dark for months on end, but Noslipups is right in saying that this conversation shouldn't have to be had in the first place 😂 We'll see how things look after Monday
Honestly EA shouldnt not have the monopole of NHL game. There should be there other compagnie who could make the game so to much each of the designer to put the best results not only the minimum to sell a new game 130$ and more . Small rant but i'm tired of the fact that NHL Sport game is the only Sport game from EA that isnt available on PC. You can have every other sport possible but not NHL. i think the real reason is that they fear the modder community that would be making better game/patch then them.
That's an opinion that many within the community have! I couldn't agree more that healthy competition would be good for everyone, not to mention the game being available on PC. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
EA doesn’t have exclusive rights to NHL, no other company see’s it as worth it to make a game. The user base is small and probably not worth it for them. 2k could make hockey games again whenever they want but they don’t want to
The game wasn’t good enough in the first place to go back to. Ea needs to completely go back to scratch and start completely over. All these patches year to year just screw something else up.
I think that would do wonders! And as I've said before, I'd have NO problem with EA saying that they'll have to hold off on putting out a game one year so that, say, NHL 27 could finally be a game to be proud of. Either way, I think going back to scratch instead of trying to copy/paste every year would really make a difference.
Funny thing about the game is that game glitch was in nhl20 BAP. VERY VERY rare but they were there. Now the game is beyond unplayable. Glad i didn't spend a dime on NHL25. Class action lawsuit? If HUT wasn't broken then this patch would not be coming out this month...
I don't doubt it - the majority of glitches have been present for years or were at one time present in the past 😂 I don't blame you at all for not putting a cent on this game yet. And speaking of money, it's hard to deny that HUT was the driving force behind this patch but I think it being Christmastime also played a part. Oh and let me know if I can ever join the class action! 😂
@@Data782Yeah I have only had it once in the many playthroughs I have had with it. Think I ended with 70 games played before I simmed to the next day and the playoffs wiped the standings.
I'm lucky enough I guess to say didn't corrupt my files but I just had an 84 regular season game season it never ever I have seen extra games as a glitch but nhl 25 lol
They need to fix the multi select for sets in HUT. Makes the mode infuriating to play as most of the mode is completing sets and making MSPs.. Muppet crew over at EA
So glad I’m no longer wasting my time with the new NHL games rather going back into time Playing NHL 2K7, NHL 2K10, EA NHL 14. Far better games. Soon I’ll have all the older games playable on the Xbox 360 and honestly probably the best decision I’ve made since buying NHL 24
As someone who is getting back into playing NHL 07 (and doing a series of that while my one on NHL 25 is paused), I completely understand what you're saying!
@ Haven’t been into making videos myself on UA-cam, however I kind of feel intrigued about doing a NHL 2K7 vs NHL 07 etc. until NHL 2k10 vs NHL 10 however I only have 2k7 2k10 and NHL 14 so it’ll be a while before I can actually do anything like that. But just playing NHL 2k7 compared to NHL 24 it’s honestly pretty insane features we once had in a hockey game that have vanished. Like the Skybox with Trivia, Air Hockey, and Shuffleboard it’s the small things like that just crazy.
thank god, EA somehow always manages to make their dog poop into horse poop in a different way every year (edit now that im finished, EA not fixing the 82 game bug is not shocking, typical EA fixing some but not enough)
I'm still holding onto a but of hope that the 82 game bug will also be fixed with the FM tweaks but I'm not counting on it since it wasn't listed. Guess we'll have to try and avoid it until January 😁
The EA forum seems to have a couple other people reporting the same issue :( I haven't seen it myself but, if it is indeed a problem, it sounds like it won't be fixed until at least January. Have you tried playing on different monitors to verify? If so and it's still present, try to record with the console's internal recorder and publish it in the EA forums for them to see!
Yes absolutely! I'm glad that a patch is happening within two weeks as opposed to sitting in the dark for months (even though it shouldn't have happened in the first place), but now let's see if it works. Above all, though, you're spot-on that the overall speed in 2025 just HAS to improve.
At least they're trying.... I'm sorry but they are PAID to drop this title every year.... I work in oil and gas... your ass would be fired if your work equated to what EA puts out yearly for nearly two decades now... At least there trying, nah bud this is their job and THEY SUCK AT THEIR JOBS. SO glad I've not bought this pile... BAP has been dead since nhl20 and nhl 25 is copy paste of nhl21... yet you make excuses for a group of people don't care about quality nor their customers.... If this update didn't break HUT, it wouldn't be coming out
Another fair point there! I think "at least they're trying" comes from how we dealt with a team that didn't seem to care at all for years so, as bad as things still are at times, it's nice to see even the semblance of an effort. But, like you said, that doesn't excuse this being released in the first place. Even the most sincere efforts probably wouldn't fix this game that shows more and more how badly it just needs to be torn down and built up again
It certainly feels that way and the reviews/ratings reflect that. I really hope this patch on Monday will at least make the game playable again (sheesh), followed by more to come in January.
At this point, making it a free game with micro-transactions might even make them more money. More players, lower expectations, and good data for NHL 26 which can once again be paid for. I like it!
Things have definitely been rough from the get-go 😬 The part that gets me is that the day 1 version was better than the patched versions in almost every way
Anyone getting the feeling that fixing menu lag is going to be a major selling point in NHL 26
Nobody will be getting nhl 26 bc gta 6 will be the game to get

That's an opinion that many within the community have! I couldn't agree more that healthy competition would be good for everyone, not to mention the game being available on PC. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
EA doesn’t have exclusive rights to NHL, no other company see’s it as worth it to make a game. The user base is small and probably not worth it for them. 2k could make hockey games again whenever they want but they don’t want to
The game wasn’t good enough in the first place to go back to.
Ea needs to completely go back to scratch and start completely over. All these patches year to year just screw something else up.
I think that would do wonders! And as I've said before, I'd have NO problem with EA saying that they'll have to hold off on putting out a game one year so that, say, NHL 27 could finally be a game to be proud of. Either way, I think going back to scratch instead of trying to copy/paste every year would really make a difference.
I have received my PS5 console, and have bought NHL25 , and wanted to know, if there is a way to import my created players from NHL24 to NH25 ?
Sadly not possible to do so :(
Funny thing about the game is that game glitch was in nhl20 BAP. VERY VERY rare but they were there. Now the game is beyond unplayable. Glad i didn't spend a dime on NHL25.
Class action lawsuit?
If HUT wasn't broken then this patch would not be coming out this month...
I don't doubt it - the majority of glitches have been present for years or were at one time present in the past 😂 I don't blame you at all for not putting a cent on this game yet. And speaking of money, it's hard to deny that HUT was the driving force behind this patch but I think it being Christmastime also played a part. Oh and let me know if I can ever join the class action! 😂
@@Data782Yeah I have only had it once in the many playthroughs I have had with it. Think I ended with 70 games played before I simmed to the next day and the playoffs wiped the standings.
I’ve had a few lockups in contract negotiations & after the draft but 0 issues regarding games played with this patch.
@@codyssmith73 Count yourself blessed!
I'm lucky enough I guess to say didn't corrupt my files but I just had an 84 regular season game season it never ever I have seen extra games as a glitch but nhl 25 lol
Yup there you go 😂 We'll see if this patch fixes that among the other Franchise Mode problems!
They need to fix the multi select for sets in HUT. Makes the mode infuriating to play as most of the mode is completing sets and making MSPs..
Muppet crew over at EA
I can't speak for many HUT-related things as mainly a Franchise guy myself, but I'm sure you're right in calling for that fix!
So glad I’m no longer wasting my time with the new NHL games rather going back into time Playing NHL 2K7, NHL 2K10, EA NHL 14. Far better games. Soon I’ll have all the older games playable on the Xbox 360 and honestly probably the best decision I’ve made since buying NHL 24
As someone who is getting back into playing NHL 07 (and doing a series of that while my one on NHL 25 is paused), I completely understand what you're saying!
@ Haven’t been into making videos myself on UA-cam, however I kind of feel intrigued about doing a NHL 2K7 vs NHL 07 etc. until NHL 2k10 vs NHL 10 however I only have 2k7 2k10 and NHL 14 so it’ll be a while before I can actually do anything like that. But just playing NHL 2k7 compared to NHL 24 it’s honestly pretty insane features we once had in a hockey game that have vanished. Like the Skybox with Trivia, Air Hockey, and Shuffleboard it’s the small things like that just crazy.
Couldn't agree more! And I'd love to see that comparison!
thank god, EA somehow always manages to make their dog poop into horse poop in a different way every year (edit now that im finished, EA not fixing the 82 game bug is not shocking, typical EA fixing some but not enough)
I'm still holding onto a but of hope that the 82 game bug will also be fixed with the FM tweaks but I'm not counting on it since it wasn't listed. Guess we'll have to try and avoid it until January 😁
No you’re not a snob for expecting your $90 video game to WORK 😂 the low standards are ridiculous
Thanks for the reinforcement! 😂 Hard to tell sometimes with the way some in the community will interact with one another
brightness drop in HDR :(
The EA forum seems to have a couple other people reporting the same issue :( I haven't seen it myself but, if it is indeed a problem, it sounds like it won't be fixed until at least January. Have you tried playing on different monitors to verify? If so and it's still present, try to record with the console's internal recorder and publish it in the EA forums for them to see!
At least they're trying, the game has somehow gotten slower. It's almost 2025, what are we doing ea...
Yes absolutely! I'm glad that a patch is happening within two weeks as opposed to sitting in the dark for months (even though it shouldn't have happened in the first place), but now let's see if it works. Above all, though, you're spot-on that the overall speed in 2025 just HAS to improve.
At least they're trying.... I'm sorry but they are PAID to drop this title every year.... I work in oil and gas... your ass would be fired if your work equated to what EA puts out yearly for nearly two decades now... At least there trying, nah bud this is their job and THEY SUCK AT THEIR JOBS.
SO glad I've not bought this pile... BAP has been dead since nhl20 and nhl 25 is copy paste of nhl21... yet you make excuses for a group of people don't care about quality nor their customers....
If this update didn't break HUT, it wouldn't be coming out
Another fair point there! I think "at least they're trying" comes from how we dealt with a team that didn't seem to care at all for years so, as bad as things still are at times, it's nice to see even the semblance of an effort. But, like you said, that doesn't excuse this being released in the first place. Even the most sincere efforts probably wouldn't fix this game that shows more and more how badly it just needs to be torn down and built up again
@@Data782 I think they have a lack of funding too
I do apologize for my tone, but seems my response has been deleted. Fair enough.
There is no try, only to do or not to....
I stopped playing because of this DLC.
Rightfully so! Hopefully that will change by Monday
Hail Hydra!
😭🫡🫡🫡
Not really interested in franchise. HUT and 6s are a bigger deal for me
Everyone has their own points of interest! :)
Game officially doomed
@J_Juice88 😭😭 The countdown to Monday is on!
The game became unplayable when they ruining the passing controls and one timers. I hope another studio makes an NHL game, EA is fucking garbage
We desperately need 2K to make a comeback just to introduce some competition in the marketplace!
Worst NHL game ever , sad what they are doing to the great sport of Hockey.
It certainly feels that way and the reviews/ratings reflect that. I really hope this patch on Monday will at least make the game playable again (sheesh), followed by more to come in January.
@ I hope so, thanks
unplayable? I'm playing right now lol
@@TheRealAD45 Unplayable in the method that it was designed to be played in :)
Charging for this by all accounts garbage game is crazy
At this point, making it a free game with micro-transactions might even make them more money. More players, lower expectations, and good data for NHL 26 which can once again be paid for. I like it!
Game unplayable since day 1, complete garbage
Things have definitely been rough from the get-go 😬 The part that gets me is that the day 1 version was better than the patched versions in almost every way
Stop buying their shit ffs.
@@willsk7068 That's usually what I recommend until a better version of the product comes out later in the year
#nhldropea
Or at the very least encourage another company like 2K to get involved to create healthy competition!
