NHL 25 Official Franchise Trailer | Deep Dive

Franchise Mode gets a revamp in NHL 25. Starting with the Franchise hub, streamlined navigation gives players access to new, relevant, and easy-to-digest information, like box scores, player stats, an award tracker, an updated league ticker, and a goals and challenges display.

Plus, you can now ask players to change their playstyle, which can lead to positive or negative effects, and set player goals. In an update to Chel’s contract offer overlay and Collective Bargaining Agreement, support for No Trade and No Movement clauses is now available for each contract year, with NTC and NMC icons that make it easy to keep track of each. New conversation functions enhance negotiations, making promises, waivers, and counters a faster, more intuitive process.

I think this is a great start to improving Franchise Mode. Getting a lot of the moving parts of the mode added, like NMCs and better contract negotiations, is gonna add so much more to the experience. I would still love to see the All Star Game come back. Hopefully they keep improving it like adding in ASW, outdoor games, more presentation in-game, the ability to retire new numbers, among other things.

Finally I can persuade McDavid to join my team for unlimited chicken nuggets and a max contract of 0.50cents for 10 years

Comment section is full of great/troll requests but being able to go back and view any box score of any game is pretty big

A.I Generated players need headshots for their player screen. Such a small change that would make franchise mode so much better when you’re 10+ years in and most of your players are generated by the game. Instead we just have to look at grey heads when editing lines and checking stats

If be a pro is the same cutscenes and conversations I might have a heart attack

All-Star game, Winter Classic game (generated after year one), simulation and potential revamped, Stanley Cup banner raising year after, 50 players roster, able to pick every teams in Custom League, import our own logos for jerseys and ice visuals, Full control roster option, edit players overall rating during franchise, create new templates for eras (rules, gameplay sliders, player losing helmet, etc.), three stars selection after each games, better comments about point streak, goal streak, etc. Full presentation backkkk!

So many things could be implemented back. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Why do we STILL have a silhouette if a player doesn't have a picture? You had the 3D model a decade ago and took it out...

[PowerPlayStudios]

add full presentation back into these games... dumbest decision to remove that opiton

[marcanthonyangelofmercy]

This game needs Hockey Night in Canada presentation. That immersion alone would give the game a complete fresh feel.

PLEASE LET US FINALLY EDIT HAIR
NO MORE CLONED BALD GREY HAIR'D ROOKIES

[milancz]

Talking to coach to change the best lines? Why not just have us save OUR own best lines? There are so many screens and menus to go through

[garybettmanjr.]

We can finally go to any game of the season and check the box score!!! Finally!!! Been asking for this since NHL 15. Thank u EA

[IsaacLudu]

As someone who pretty much exclusively plays franchise, this is the most excited I’ve been for a new NHL game in a long time

[Kellan]

Make it so I can retire a players number

[AlvinWazHere]

What bothers me in previous NHL Franchise modes is when your rebuilding. Got the coach you want. But the player you draft doesnt fit the team. Which is annoying as hell. You got to fire the coach and change the prospects/players etc… why cant you draft the player and let him develop into the system. So he can fit into the team through time like lets say 2-3 years. Looks like they havent fixed that yet.

[jonathanjones]

Pretty much the only mode I care about, please please make it way better!

[ReMiNiSc]

Fix the laggy menus that take forever to navigate. Complete amateur stuff that should have been resolved a few years ago.

Here’s my Franchise Mode wishlist for the next game:

• Add the ECHL to franchise mode (Ability to play as the ECHL affiliate and even change ECHL affiliates as well as send prospects down to the ECHl affiliate)

• Add the prospect tourney and training camp

• Add the ability to sign players to PTO for training camp of sign to a PTO to fill in for a few games for an injury if you don’t want to bring any AHL guy up

• Add the ability to make a Future Considerations trade and then complete said trade at any later date of the season

• Add a banner raising ceremony after your team wins the division, conference, or Stanley cup

• Ability to send players down the the AHL for conditioning stints

• Ability to trade/trade for conditional draft picks

• Add the All Star Game/ All Star Break festivities

• Add private team events randomly through the season and offseason

[alexcayer]

Adding elite players in the draft is stupid bc it's doesn't solve the problem. Goalies and Dmans dont grow. The top end talent isnt the issue it's bottom 6 and top 9 and top 6. They rarely get the nhl thats why the cpu is ending up with a defence core that loos like this after 5-6 years : 89, 86, 80, 79, 78, 76.

[thathabsfan]

This is honestly a decent start but we NEED CONNECTED FRANCHISE!!!
