HUT Wildcard

HUT is about to get WILD! The all-new Wildcard Mode implements unique rulesets per competition cycle — like different salary cap systems, having a specific number of players from a particular team or nation, and more — keeping players on their toes and ready to adapt with each and every cycle.

HUT XP Progression System

All XP earned in Squad Battles, Rivals, and Wild Card are combined into a single progression path, meaning that every HUT mode rewards you the same, no matter where you play. Plus, you'll now receive those rewards instantly when you reach new levels.

Reworked Card Tiering

NHL 25 features a completely reworked card tiering system and player grades:

74 OVR and below are now Bronze

79-75 OVR are now Silver

80+ OVR are now Gold

X-Factor Series

X-Factor cards are back for NHL 25, some with a discounted AP cost for their abilities. New X-Factor cards will be released throughout the year, so keep an eye out for more.

Day 1 XP Progression Path

Begin the Day 1 XP Progression Path to acquire 5 different XP Season 1 players that can be upgraded to a max of 85 OVR.
