As a seasoned ice hockey enthusiast with decades of following the sport under my belt, I must say that this list is a veritable treasure trove for any avid fan. From the bustling arenas of Germany’s DEL to the icy battlefields of Finland’s Liiga, and all the way to the chilly rinks of Sweden’s HockeyAllsvenskan, there’s something here for every puck lover.
Version 1.2.0 of NHL 25 has been released, and a significant change is the inclusion of real-life coach appearances for all 32 NHL teams. This addition will enhance the strategic aspect across various game modes, but it’s only one part of this extensive update. The detailed patch notes for NHL 25 update 1.2.0 hint at numerous other improvements, including bug fixes and adjustments to uniform designs.
NHL 25 Update 1.2.0 Patch Notes (November 4)
Today’s update for NHL 25 brings an enhancement to the Franchise Mode, as well as several other modes, aiming to provide even more precision. The update, version 1.2.0, was rolled out around 1pm ET, with a brief maintenance period. Now, it’s up and running for all players to enjoy!
In the game Franchise, Season Mode, Online Versus, and Play Now, all 32 real-life NHL head coaches have been incorporated. This isn’t just about changing their appearance; each coach will come with distinct characteristics and signature play styles.
In addition to this, the in-game display will show each coach’s actual team history and performance, which will be updated continuously as they join new teams and achieve results within the Franchise Mode.
As an avid hockey enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates about NHL 25! In the latest version 1.2.0, they’ve made a few tweaks to Skill Based One Timers that I think we’ll all appreciate. They’ve lessened the stamina drain for goalie saves, making it tougher to score with these one-timers, and they’ve reduced the shot accuracy bonus for perfectly timed Skill Based One Timers. This should add a bit more challenge and realism to the gameplay.
Here are the complete NHL 25 update 1.2.0 patch notes:

Gameplay Tuner Notes:
Player Feedback: Mastering a skillful one-timer in hockey is an exciting move and we aim to give players the thrill of scoring with precision. We are cautious about any changes that might diminish its power. This update slightly alters the extra benefits attached to skill-based one-timers, which may affect goalies secondarily.
