Stanley cup celebration
I think that nhl 27 should have realistic stanley cup final wins, like say franchise mode its always a little celebration and then turns into a big celebration from the bench. But maybe in be a pro we can choose our own celebration on winning the stanley cup, like flipping the gloves off rushing over to hug your goalie, be able to live like an actual celebration on winning the cup
Feature Request: Build Comparison when editing loadouts
Found that after doing a bit of editing, sometimes I like to see the before and after for a build. Currently, this is a manual process, of leave one build, loading up the other, see the changes in stats, to make a decision on whether it is better or not. Any way to compare one build to another build? If EA does open up the advanced stats, like slapshot mph, could be shown along with the changes. You see that your puck moving defenseman, does better that your defensive defenseman, load up the other build in the build comparison screen, see the difference. If you can edit the source build, even better in the screen. Not sure of the want for this feature, but something I was thinking of when fine tuning builds. Currently, I would have to screen capture 5 screens or write 5 screens of stats down for the final comparison. Or note and remember the stats adjusted, depending on how far the build is adjusted, that can be difficult. Extra later addons could include comparing your build to your friends build, if allowed. That would be really sick and a feature many would enjoy.
How to prevent players from ruining online games
Hi EA. Please give us the same option to disable watching instant replays and cut scenes in online play. It must be possible, to instantly resume playing without watching instant replays or cut scenes. If any of the players presses A, game must instantly resume. There are so many annoying people who ruin online play with watching every bs insert and replay. If both players like to watch that stuff, ok. But if one of them presses A, it should end. If you like to watch instant replays play offline. At bare minimum, do it for Wild Card games, please. These are for quick achievement of the objectives and not for watching movies.Please add humpbacks as a play by play team name
i know this is a long shot, but i’ve noticed 2 of the better logos when your creating a team in nhl 26 is the crab and the humpback whale. however, these 2 logos aren’t options as play by play names which i think is weird. if you can change that it would be great. ideally name them the crabs and the humpbacks please. ( please do the humpbacks as i have a really cool team name for them lol ). thanks i know its just a small change but it would make me really happyMerci EA
Bonjour à tous, je voulais remercie EA, car grâce à vous, je ne dépense plus d’argent dans ce jeux!!! Avec vos nouvelles règles pour monter sa ERH, ou en fait c’est plus l’équipe de rêve de EA et non celle que j’aimerai monter, je ne cherche plus mes joueurs favoris, et donc je ne dépense plus rien! Je n’y joue quasi plus en fait, donc j’ai du temps pour d’autres activités! Allier un tel avec un tel pour pouvoir faire jouer tel joueur, ce n’est pas MON équipe de rêve, mais celle des développeurs…! J’ai tout un tas de joueur à 95, impossible à mettre dans mon Line up! Yeahhh c’est génial! Joe Sakic, que j’adore, je ne peux pas le faire joueur!! Wow! Quelle belle expérience!! Merci encore EA! lol bonne game à tous, et GO HABS!!!!Broken Gameplay Thread In NHL 26.
Starting this thread so uploaded videos can be shared that are related to the issues of broken gameplay within NHL 26. As for the video I'm sharing the first goal against was when I was trying to make a line change offensively. I kept manually changing and they were out of stamina although we initially had full pressure in the 0-Zone. What happens prior is my opponent takes the puck and my Defensive players are way up in where they shouldn't be with full energy. My forwards are tired because they won't change at all. I will conduct more videos of that once I finish editing the montage of this issue that was a problem in NHL 24 also. I try to cut his angle with the RD, then he LT's without stumble or losing stamina. I switch to player #17 on the LD and try to press the poke check button. It wouldn't register at all as it happens while the puck goes it the net.. Controller is fine, Internet is 467mbps download, upload 73mbps with a 18 MS latency on a wired connection which if requested i can submit an image of it... Second goal against with the same pressure system scenario. I win the face-off in the neutral zone. My forwards are skating around like its Tim Bits practice hockey. I get immediately poked and my D lose energy right off the bat from full just be receiving a pass... It was a weird puck bounce to him. At this point I'm trying to player switch and select my RD but it wouldn't work. So I continue with LD and at 0:11 I try to poke check. Again it was delayed as it worked at 0:12. My goalie is face to face and has the physically realistic IQ option to butterfly sliding left to cover the angle... but nooo! He decides to dive and swipe at it. https://youtu.be/sps2qWLYZso?si=2NLDNJ0SJ1G5gtel This is HUT gameplay btw! If you don't play this game mode you have no idea what happens... Yes we all make mistakes in this game but when you're literally trying to press the buttons that should work and it doesn't register until milliseconds after on a good wired internet connection I pay over $200 for.. these issues should be addressed before the next release becomes available. It's not fair to the consumers by any standards.
3rd period lag vs cheat
Yep, up to nothing out **bleep** the opponent 16 to 8. Get into the third period and you just will give up I get out shot at 11 to 5 and I lose the game 5 to 3. They score 4 goals on four shots. I couldn’t skate couldn’t pass couldn’t move and you cannot tell me that this is normal. This is either the third period glitch lag that we all get in these games or EA IS COMPLACENT LETTING people to lag the games all the time IT HAPPENS WAY TOO OFTEN TO BE A ABORMAL EVENT, BUT TODAY WAS A EPITOME OF IT!!! This player couldn’t do anything, and suddenly his players are flying around, shooting pucks everywhere and they go in, my player couldn’t even turn, couldn’t skate, passes wouldn’t even go anywhere !!!! fix your game ea….. either fix your servers or stop the cheaters ( they all come from the same province)Request to Add Vernal, Utah as a Create-A-Team City in NHL 27
Would love to see Vernal, Utah added as a Create-A-Team city option in NHL 27. With hockey growing so much in Utah because of the Utah Mammoth, it would be awesome to represent smaller Utah cities in Franchise Mode and Create-A-Team. I know a lot of Utah players would appreciate it!NHL 27 Franchise ideas/requests
I love the NHL franchise. I have brought all of my friends to the game, and I play countless hours each week. Only problem is, it gets a bit boring after a while when there really isn’t anything new, and franchise (which I pour HUNDREDS of hours into) hasn’t changed a bit. Some things that would make it 1000% more playable are: Multiplayer franchises Every single year when a new game is coming out, the first thing I check for is if franchise is multiplayer. Obviously that hasn’t been the case, ever. If you guys would just make it so you could play franchise with your buds all night, do rebuilds and fantasy drafts with your guys, that would raise everyone’s experience and i’m sure it would raise sales too. Wear and Tear I like that players could get hurt on hits and fights, but one feature that is in all of the other EA games is wear and tear. If I absolutely drill someone with red truculence, they shouldn’t be able to sit on the bench for 3 minutes and be the same, or just go into an intermission and come back completely fine. They should feel the effects of it, hence is why a wear and tear system should be added. Home Ice Advantage I feel like there should be a home ice advantage, similar to stadium pulse in NCAA. It could either add pressure on offense, or be used like the spark plug ability, and give a player a boost in energy after a big hit or a good chance on offense. It would instantly elevate the game. I don’t care about how awful the user interface is, or how pay-to-win some modes are, but please, just make these simples steps that every other EA franchise has, and it will greatly increase everyone’s experience, and I am sure it would increase sales.
NHL 27 Wishlist (Presentation focused)
For NHL 27, my prediction is that it will get a major overhaul in presentation and the different aspects regarding presentation throughout the game. Predictions: Massive Presentation Upgrade Fans have been begging for: real TV-style intros playoff atmosphere intermission panels tunnel walkouts warmups Winter Classic presentation crowd improvements more arena personality My prediction: NHL 27 becomes the “broadcast presentation” year. I could see: ESPN/Sportsnet-inspired overlays dynamic camera packages playoff intros unique to each team crowd chants becoming team-specific glass reflections, fog, towels, rally effects realistic goal horn acoustics outdoor game cinematics The presentation side is where NHL has the most untapped magic right now. The gameplay has improved over the years, but the atmosphere still sometimes feels like: “Two teams quietly participating in a highly organized public skating session.” Meanwhile real NHL broadcasts feel thunderous, theatrical, and occasionally one step away from a space launch. I genuinely think EA knows this too. Sports games are shifting toward: immersion TV authenticity emotional moments crowd energy cinematic pacing Stuff I could totally see in NHL 27: Dynamic Opening Intros Not just: logo spins → random montage → faceoff I mean: Vegas knight intro recreated Toronto playoff towel crowd Edmonton orange-out Montréal anthem atmosphere Rangers MSG lighting arena-specific camera angles Every rink should feel like its own kingdom. Right now many arenas feel like “Generic Ice Building #14.” Broadcast Packages This feels SO overdue. Imagine: Sportsnet package in Canada ESPN/TNT-style US package regional commentary vibes playoff-specific graphics panel discussions before big games Even fake broadcast branding would massively help immersion. The dream: Stanley Cup Final presentation that feels genuinely gigantic. Playoff Atmosphere This is where NHL 27 could become legendary. Imagine: towel animations louder crowd as OT progresses pressure camera shake late in games dynamic chants fans standing in final minutes glass banging after goals player-specific chants And especially: Momentum atmosphere If the home team scores twice quickly, the arena should feel electrically unstable. Like the building itself is vibrating. Intermission Content Tiny feature. Huge immersion gain. Stuff like: “Around the League” score updates panel breakdowns replay packages crowd shots player tunnel cams goalie stat comparisons Right now games can feel oddly disconnected from the rest of the NHL universe. Cinematic Moments I could easily picture: playoff handshake line cinematics Cup lift closeups outdoor game snow buildup goalie staring into camera before puck drop captains leading teams down tunnels The NHL already looks cinematic in real life. EA just needs to stop treating presentation like garnish and start treating it like the entrée. The broadcast-style realism mixed with dramatic arena atmosphere is what fans remember most from classic NHL games. Celebrations Predictions The current celebration system has been recycled for so long that some animations feel like they’ve achieved veteran leadership status in the locker room. And the worst part? Real NHL celebrations today are WAY more emotional and cinematic than what the games show. The Stanley Cup Celebration NEEDS a Full Rebuild This should honestly be one of NHL 27’s headline features. Right now the Cup win scene feels oddly robotic considering it’s supposed to be: the single greatest moment in hockey. Imagine if NHL 27 added: Multiple Cup Celebration Variations depending on: captain personality team identity dynasty status underdog run home vs away win rivalry context Examples: players immediately mobbing goalie emotional collapse to the ice gloves thrown skyward captain screaming before lift veteran crying on bench rookies losing their minds Every Cup win should feel different. Playoff OT Celebrations Could Be Incredible This is SUCH a missed opportunity right now. Real playoff OT goals are absolute chaos: sticks flying bench explosions crowd going crazy goalie sprinting down the ice players climbing glass (NCAA) In NHL 27: this should become CINEMATIC. Imagine: slow-motion replay angles dynamic crowd audio spike commentators losing composure camera shake gloves raining onto ice teammates launching themselves at the goal scorer The game should barely contain the energy. Team-Specific Celebrations This is another huge one. Different teams celebrate differently in real life. Examples: Vegas theatrical energy Boston aggressive playoff series winning pileup Edmonton huge goalie swarms Carolina storm surge possibilities Toronto “please let this finally be the year” emotional overload Tiny differences create massive immersion. 5-Man Celebration System This could genuinely become one of the coolest revamps. Imagine: contextual celebrations based on goal type one-timer celebrations dirty rebound scramble reactions lacrosse goal disbelief goalie hug variants rivalry taunts playoff intensity versions And ESPECIALLY: bench reactions Right now benches sometimes react like: “yes. hockey event acknowledged.” Meanwhile real NHL benches look like someone launched fireworks into a zoo enclosure (i know this is a weird analogy but it’s valid😅) Postgame Celebrations Need Personality This could completely transform Franchise and Be A Pro immersion. Imagine: goalie gets mobbed after shutout rookie gets championship belt/player of game fans staying for 3-star salute three stars presentation milestone pucks playoff handshakes with emotion captain saluting crowd after elimination survival The current system skips through emotional moments way too quickly. Dynamic Emotion System This is one of my dream features. Celebrations should scale based on: regular season vs playoffs rivalry game Game 7 OT elimination game comeback victory Cup-clinching moment A random Tuesday overtime winner in November should NOT look identical to: Game 7 double OT of the Stanley Cup Final. That’s where sports games become unforgettable. And honestly? If EA combined: presentation overhaul crowd overhaul celebration overhaul broadcast overhaul …NHL 27 could suddenly feel generations newer even if the gameplay changes are relatively modest. The biggest thing NHL 27 NEEDS (in my personal opinion): a complete celebration overhaul. New Stanley Cup celebrations Multiple Cup-winning animations Real playoff OT chaos Team-specific celebrations Better 5-man celebrations Dynamic bench reactions Emotional postgame moments Context-based crowd energy A Game 7 OT winner should feel COMPLETELY different from a random regular season goal. If EA truly upgrades presentation in NHL 27, imagine: Vegas-style intros Dynamic camera angles Louder playoff crowds in OT Towel animations & glass banging Intermission panels/highlights Tunnel walkouts Goalie spotlight cinematics Authentic Stanley Cup Final atmosphere If EA nails even some of these, NHL 27 could genuinely become the best entry since: NHL 14 or NHL 09 TLDR: My predictions for EA Sports NHL 27: Massive presentation overhaul New broadcast package & overlays Arena-specific intros/atmosphere Winter Classic & outdoor games return Expanded Be A Pro immersion New celebration system More realistic crowds, chants & playoff energy If we get even some of these changes/revamps, NHL 27 feels like it could finally become the “immersion year” for the franchise.Is Be a Pro designed to attract players or drive them to the pay to play?
I have an opinion that ea has gone totally pay as you go as a game? I have bought and played the original in Floppy disc. Yes I know many don’t realize that this game has existed for that long. They revolutionized the game in the “90’s” then they introduced be a manager. After that it was about 2014 the best Be a Pro. Now it’s be a pro but in 10 games? Why can’t we develop as a junior player still and play for a national team then get drafted as a highly touted player?Why do you I have to be the highest point player to be a centre in Be a pros?
You at one time in Be A Pro could create a player and though due diligence after 2 years be a Franchise player. Then play for a team that drafted you as a centre man . Then after 3 years sign for the team you wanted but yeah it might cost something for the team you go to? Since the pond hockey days and even now you get no development as a PC in any minor league except for a few games and then thrust into a winger position( okay yes I want to be a centre man)and have to be the best player overall to become a centre! Why can’t you still start as a centre and as your points increase and your skill as a centre just move up as a centre man?
