Platform: Xbox Game: NHL 26 Mode: Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT) Hello. I am encountering a bug in the HUT sets, specifically with the 99X series sets. I have attached a video demonstrating the exact issue. The set requires 19 "99X Collectible" items. The first 15 collectibles go into the set perfectly fine, but the last 4 slots are completely locked. The game refuses to let me add the remaining 4 cards. To be clear, the collectibles themselves are completely fine. They didn't fail to load into my account — I have them, and these exact same cards load perfectly into adjacent slots and other players' sets without any issues. The problem is strictly isolated to these specific remaining slots in this set. I have already done a full console reset (keeping games and apps), but the slots remain dead.Solved99Views0likes3Comments- ceu520mr5jfp1 month agoSeasoned Newcomer546Views1like11Comments
lost connection
Hi everyone, for the last 3 days I keep losing connection while I am in NHL 26 Hut Moments, but if I play in the offline mode i don't lose connection, has anyone been experiencing the same thing ? when it happens I get a pop up that says to check with EA Sports. Everytime it happens i have to quit the game , i check my internet connection and nothing is wrong, all connections on my PS5 are good . is EA Sports having connection issues with NHL 26 ?Solvedunbeaten-ram212 months agoNew Novice39Views0likes1CommentEveryone’s Connor McDavid now!!!
Can someone explain to me how a 94 overall Martin Gelinas with 94 speed 94 acceleration and 95 agility can blow past a 97 overall Adam Foote with 97 speed 97 acceleration and 98 agility like he’s Connor McDavid on crack? The ease at which this was done is absurd. I understand it’s only a 3 overall difference but this isn’t the first time that a slower player has left a faster player in the dust. I’m starting to wonder if these attributes really actually matter or make any kind of a difference. And before anyone says it, no, my player was not exhausted. I just don’t get it and it’s extremely frustrating. The whole attribute system needs to be reworked and applied properly. It would make a huge difference.

This season I have gotten kicked from multiple games that I have been winning, totalling over 2500 RP lost. I know my internet is completely fine as I am in discord while getting kicked, yet I dont disconnect. Is there anything I can do? Im at the point where I dont even wanna play anymore because of losing so much RP from games I'm literally winning.SolvedTheFinesseDaddy3 months agoNew Traveler104Views0likes2Comments
Is there an API for accessing my HUT data?
Hello EA. I wonder if there is a legal way to access my HUT data programmatically. I would like to have a database with all my players, teams, and my collectibles and other items, as well as the current line combos to make it easier to build my team. Is there an API for such stuff? I mean it would be possible to scrape the site (what in most cases is illegal) or to have AI taking snapshots of my screen while I scroll through the inventory. Both seems to be no solution. Do you offer programmatical access to the game?Solvedsepticon3 months agoSeasoned Hotshot97Views0likes2Comments

NHL26 online on PC without latency issues?
I want to confirm that there is still no way to play NHL 2026 online (EASHL) without paying several hundred dollars for a next gen console. I have a great PC but as I currently understand, online cloud gaming isn’t feasible given the massive latency issues. Hoping someone can confirm this. Thanks for your help/time.SolvedMarkMessier3 months agoSeasoned Newcomer164Views0likes2CommentsRequest for Goalie Helmet Customization and Heritage Equipment Options NHL 27
To the EA Sports NHL Development Team, Thank you for your work and for the continuous improvements made to the NHL franchise. I would like to make a clear and specific request that would be greatly appreciated by many players: please add the ability to remove goalie helmets directly in the “Edit Player” menu, just like it is already possible for skaters. At the same time, it would also be highly appreciated to have access to “heritage” helmets and masks from the 1970s and 1980s, with styles inspired by goalies already featured in the game, such as Bernie Parent and Gerry Cheevers. Since this option already exists for skaters (removing helmets), it would simply be a matter of applying the same feature to goalies and providing access to these historical elements. It is a simple addition, but one that would make a meaningful difference in terms of immersion and customization. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, A passionate NHL fanSolvedfred08753 months agoRising Novice134Views1like3CommentsThird/Alternate jerseys missing from Play Now
I just picked up the game, from looking back through previous patch notes it says the Capitals new third jersey was added in patch 1.2 but I don’t see it available for selection in play now? Is it only available in certain game modes like HUT and Franchise? Also, does anyone know if they added the Hershey “Screamin Bear” jersey?SolvedScottyBoh94 months agoNew Novice166Views0likes7CommentsHUT account banned
I work for two weeks and then I’m off for one. During that week, i really enjoy playing HUT, something I genuinely appreciate being able to do while my girlfriend is at work… BUT This was the last straw, EA, this was really low. You shut down my account, a high-paying customer who has spent incredible amounts of money on your game and followed the rules. I had no idea this was even a thing? That after €€€€€€€€€, you’re not allowed to use coins from your other closed account (coins that came from purchases I made, you rats) to help your main account? Am i supposed to just let them go to waste? ONE SINGLE PURCHASE ON THE AUCTION HOUSE AND YOU BAN ME? You are so out of touch, so out of touch that you don’t understand there are forums where people post things they want to buy in HUT, like jerseys/players, and they may overpay sometimes, which I think is completely fine, especially when you’ve already spent an incredible amount of money on your game. I demand that you remove this warning. You can ban it again if the same thing happens, but this should not happen now, not the first time, im warned. REMOVE IT NOW. Is this the thanks I get? Is this how you treat your customers? So low. REMOVE IT.SolvedLimppanthebeast4 months agoSeasoned Novice327Views0likes11Comments
Report player
How can I report a player I was playing against on online versus. I took 40 shots and had 0 goals. I lost 2-0. I checked his recent games and the player has 0 goals conceded in all of his matches played. I took screenshots of his record. He’s hacking for sure, there’s no way his recent games show all of his wins with no goals conceded. I also recorded the game against him.

DisappointingEA_Aljo I know its not your job, but i didnt get an answer on my question on my latest post about this. Why is not Eiserman in the newest roster update? What are stopping you guys from adding him? I really feel like this is just to hook us offline players in to 27, you are not adding him beacuse of some licensing right? Yet many players at the start of the year, just under Ahl pto (Oliver wahlstrom for example) was added to the ahl roster, without an nhl contract. You have the license to use him in wjc mode, hut but not to add him in the licensed roster where is under contract and have debuted in?

Playing woc with drop-in teammates I go in knowing the skills may very. I can enjoy hockey with just about anybody, however im disappointed to see I can no longer report players for sabotaging games. If I chirp their ear off they double down, if I message them I get reported with a strike from PSN. If I block them only Im safe from their poor sportsmanship, not their next teams. [REMOVED] spent 30 minutes doing their best sabotaging a ranked game, consistently calling for the puck, shooting the puck back into out zone and going offsides intentionally. Luckily I was paired with a defenseman that messaged me "lets just carry this guy" and we did just that, in a painfully grueling long game, we won in overtime playing a 3v3 hockey game that was actually 4v2. What's more frustrating is i couldn't report him for his poor behavior after the game, please bring back the report sabotaging games function, PSN has a play a team game rule in their code of conduct but ask to report that behavior in-game. Edit: Removed player ID according to the "name and shame" rule. -CMSolved423Views0likes11Comments
More Issues With NHL - 26 Edition
What are we at now, part 14? 15 spanning 5 or so years? I dunno. My team's interest (and hope) is at an all time low and that twinkle in our eye has dulled but I'll still continue to make these for the foreseeable future. No edits or stickers or timestamps this time, nice and simple #1 - Clip is specifically about the goalie - I don't care about missing a hit or the turkey defenseman doing what it does. Why do the goalies need to just lay there? If I was a professional I would be breaking my back trying to shift over for that puck. I don't like this goalie, I wish I could trade him or just throw him in a wood chipper. Please, EA, we need goalies with at least two brain cells to rub together and enough stamina to at least make it look like they are doing something. #2 - Fantastically stupid pass as usual from the CPU. "Erm well playing with all humans will fix this 🤓" Not the point here; that would just be a bandaid for the game like I've been saying for years. The engine and cpu players haven't been updated for over a decade now and they just keep making more and more braindead plays like this. They wait for the absolute last second to do something and it breaks the play and momentum. #3 Now we got a lot of SSS tier defenseman on these forums who I know will have a lot to say about this goal but it still really rustles my Jimmies. Sure I could have perfectly poked him better but I cut off passing lanes, I kept him to the outside, he was at a terrible angle and IT STILL WENT IN and it. What more do you want me to do with my sniper that isn't min/maxed yet? Like, give me a break, man, ho-LEE! You can't rely on these goalies to do anything and the worst part about this is the AI goalies are still better than human goalies most of the time. #4 - This is what everyone is complaining about - literally useless AI defenders (and goalies). I had no energy and it's like they don't even exist. I know I said before I thought goalies were better at these sorts of cuts across but I must have had a lot of gin and Sanpellegrinos (seriously try the orange+pomegranate with Tanqueray and a little bit of soda water, yum) that day. Why is the team so adamant on not upgrading the AI? This is one of those issues that's been around for a decade plus too, no excuse for this. A 2v2 mode isn't the answer here but at least that would fix some matchmaking issues and visually trick our brains into setting up different plays. #5 - I complained about me getting penalties for this in the past and even though I benefited from this here I'll say it again! That guy got the puck off me at first contact and shouldn't have been issued a penalty. He held the passblock button down extra long sure, but it's not like it would have made a difference considering how long it takes to transition back -- I've brought this up with multiple EA people for years now too, just sayin'. #6 - Sloppy play by the AI (surprise surprise) but no, obviously the issue in this clip is the insane interference at the boards. No penalty? We were laughing our butts off at the absurdity of it at the time but that was a complete joke and it's not funny now. #7 - Clear pick/interference and, of course, no penalty... If someone wants to argue they didn't initiate a body check or whatever, their Truculence and my Warrior activated so either they did or there is a huge problem with how the game calculates collision - Either way it's messy. #8 - Didn't see anyone call for it so I'd love to hear what Kid or Aljo have to say about this one. Even if someone did and it didn't show (which would just be another issue), the goalie should have never decided to do that anyway. It was funny at the time but this is no way how I want to win games and i'm sure those guys were freaking out too. Playing G as a human is already a nightmare but the AI hasn't had any meaningful changes in years and it really shows here. They've been "aware and investigating" this for ages and I know it'll continue to happen. #9 - Yuh huh, the AI is totally working as intended 👌. Sigh, if they didn't have 0 stamina because of the awful pressure system they totally would have scored there. #10 - So then.. lol, so then, he actually makes a good play and snags the puck right? What does this buffoon do? Just skates forward and does NOTHING! I've brought this up years ago and you continue to do nothing to fix this. #11 - I'm not gonna talk about how game breaking the x factors can be or the fact there are actually people out there buying players for an extra edge but just look at that play - what was the goalie doing and why did the AI decide to just blast it into the net? He's on my team not theirs :( Boo-Urns Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot all about the stupid white box in the bottom right corner that was there ALL GAME in clips 6-9 (heh nice). Why can I mute the in-game soundtrack but I still get notifications when it switches songs? Why can the box stay on my screen not allowing me to see strategies? Why has this been a known issue for more than 5 years and you don't care to do anything about it? Anyway, that's it for now, see ya.
