About

Hockey is built different & with EA SPORTS NHL® 25 is powered by ICE-Q, a new gameplay intelligence system that lets you create time & space to control every inch of the ice. From the modernized skating of Next-Gen Vision Control and an overhaul of Chel’s AI player movement to authentic Reactive Action animations — experience true hockey intelligence with ICE-Q. Next-Gen Vision Control provides fresh abilities, improvements, and a user-initiated skating mode that ups the responsiveness, explosiveness, and expression on the ice for human and AI players alike. Reactive Actions reward players for proper on-ice positioning, increase collision avoidance, and offer authentic visual reactions for players to recognize and take advantage of in those high-action moments. Read the attacking zone, find an open teammate, and be rewarded with Skill Based One-Timers.

    NHL 25 isn’t great. While there are welcome changes this time, almost all of them are cosmetic, or menu-oriented. Ultimately, that’s what this iteration amounts to: a hyper-fixation on presentational components. Where are the new game modes? Improvements to the controls? Sure the game looks great, but wouldn’t it be awesome if it played great as well?

    Aunque esperábamos más de la primera edición exclusiva de nueva generación, NHL 25 sigue por sus fueros, mejorando cosas aquí y allá sin perder su esencia.

    Per essere il primo gioco current-gen della serie NHL il risultato è agrodolce: ci sono stati degli innegabili passi in avanti sia a livello grafico, sia a livello simulativo e di gameplay, ma la stessa cosa non si può dire lato contenuti e modalità. Probabilmente a EA Vancouver serviva più coraggio e tempo per proporre qualcosa di nuovo: per ora NHL 25 resta ancora prigioniero del suo glorioso passato.

    NHL 25 je stigao, još jedno izdanje u dugovečnoj franšizi EA Sports-a, i iako donosi neke novine, ne može se reći da je napravio veliki iskorak u serijalu. Dok su tehnologije poput Sapien i Ice-Q bile predstavljene kao revolucionarne, stvarnost je više kao gotov proizvod iz reklame, ali u “kineskoj kopiji”. Ako ste igrali prethodne verzije, videćete da je ova igra više kozmetička nadogradnja nego pravo osveženje. Iako Franchise mod dobija solidne promene, ostatak igre deluje kao slaba nadogradnja prošlogodišnjeg izdanja. Ako ste strastveni ljubitelj hokeja i NHL serijala, možda ćete uživati u ovim poboljšanjima, ali za većinu igrača NHL 25 jednostavno ne donosi dovoljno razloga za kupovinu u odnosu na prošlogodišnji naslov.

    NHL 25 makes some minor strides to improve on last year's game, but will mostly appeal to those interested in team management and being a superstar forward. As a franchise, it continues to wait for a top draft pick that can turn things around in a meaningful way.

    EA Sports NHL 25 fails to deliver on the promises it sets in the new features that EA swears are improvements. It's another example of an entry into an annualized sports game series that doesn't feel like it's doing anything differently from the last year, but at least in this case last year's (and by default this years) game is fun to play.
