Hello Average Joe Nation!!! I am taking a dive into the deep end with developing sliders for NHL 25. This is my first real foray into developing sliders for the NHL series. I have been a long time console Hockey video gamer but I would not even consider myself an expert on the game of hockey. My interest in Hockey has been strong the last decade and it has leaped over the NFL as my second favorite professional sport next to MLB Baseball and the way the game is going on the diamond.....the NHL very well may become my #1 sport before long. I am a season ticket holder for your Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers so I got to experience the CUp run first hand.
Something I did not share on here was I had the opportunity to celebrate in the locker room with the Panthers the night we won the cup. It was a surreal experience. Two players happen to be clients of mine (I will not mention their names) and we were able to get to know a lot of the players, coaches, and family members over the course of the last 3 seasons. The celebration was simply amazing. Smoking cigars, pouring beer and liquor all over the place, dancing, singing, hugging...the joy was incredible. But the real thing I took away from the entire ride was how close and tight nit hockey teams can be. And how humble and gracious the players in the NHL are. These are easily the most down to earth guys I have ever been around in terms of professional athletes. So my love for the game now has increased 100 fold after being part of that special season from the inside.

So I will have the game in hand on the 4th. I have been playing on the 10 hour trial and having a total blast.
Understand I am not a highly skilled Hockey gamer. So the sliders will have a slight tilt to the human player. These are specifically being designed for us older dudes who want a simulation experience, smooth gameplay, a totally clean screen, and want to play multiple years in franchise and most of all have a lot of fun.
The game really feels great. I had been playing 23 a ton this past year and before that 19. I love the new franchise hub, conversation system and the new one timers are really a lot of fun guys.
I don't want toxic vitriol posting in here. I won't tolerate it for a second. This is a postive place where I hope to enahnce your enjoyment of the game.
This is not a bugs thread nor can I teach you how to play. I am assuming you understand the basics of hockey, the controls and franchise in's and out's.
The goal is to simply provide the community a choice for those seeking an easier experience because your particular skill level playing video game hockey is not advanced.
There are some outstanding slider makers already here who have great sets that provide a lot more of a "challenge" if that is what you are looking for.
But if you are familiar with how I approach sports games, my style and feel you will probably love the "Average Joe" approach
