Good game, but you need a practice mode. I breezed through the tutorial, but when it came time to play a season, I felt lost like I wasn't shooting right and couldn't remember all the tap combos. Also need a way to adjust settings before a season year starts. Whatever line change settings I had, my player is only getting less than a minute of ice time in a 6 minute game. Not a lot of fun.

Ok so the behind the scenes is amazing, for the price of a cup of coffee you can do everything NHL 25 does and more, but the gameplay needs some serious work. It is near impossible to tackle, very difficult to win a game, and the controls are a bit confusing. If you wanna play hockey its not great, but if you wanna simulate a season it's exceptional

Honestly in the contention for my top 10 favorite games of all time. The premium is an incredible deal. I've run almost 50 seasons in commissioner mode just because it's the best game that meets my odd desire for AI hockey lore and watching games in the irl offseason. Although I haven't played much of anything else, the controls do seem pretty good. I think the AI could use some work offensively, and the goalies only ever seem to play the puck. Besides that, it's honestly a very underrated game.
