Updates on Voice Chat Overlay Toggle?
Hey Devs, Just wanted to see if there is any progress made on a toggle for the voice chat overlay. I play cross platform with friends and have to use in game chat. When playing 6s it is very tough to play RW or RD with the overlay covering my player. An option to turn this off/reduce the size would be an optimal patch item for quality of life.Gameplay problems
It doesn't work as it should, super or my players don't defend and go for the puck like in real life, and also the goalies of both teams don't defend as they should. The whole game was better before the update than after it. When he has a super puck or there is a free puck and my player is close to him, it doesn't get marked, so I have to mark this player manually, but it should be done automatically. I just ask you to fix it, since it was in NHL 25, it worked perfectly, and one more information is that some players who were in NHL 25 are missing in NHL 26. when I played NHL 25, it was better than now NHL 26, the gameplay was better, the goalies made better saves and the players played much better than in this NHL 26. It doesn't work like it should, super or my players don't defend and go for the puck like in real life and also the goalies of both teams don't defend like they should. The whole game ran better before the update than after. When the super has the puck or there is a free puck and my player is close to him, it doesn't get marked so I have to manually mark the player, but it should be done automatically. Please fix it.
BND cards
Why was this sort of card created. Never in past versions of this game have we seen cards that become absolutely useless unless utilized. Tradeable and untradeable use to be the norm. Its a well known fact through the years as to just how much this franchise hates to distribute cards of any significant value. But to now bring in a card that can't be traded or used in sets after. Is nonsensical. I thought the concept last year was terrible. But here we are in another year. And they continue with it. They even had cards last year, that had no value attributed to them regarding selling. What was the thought pattern in that?Reporting players/Store/eashl..
There should be an option to report players that are trolling. Yah know like those people that make drop-ins a living nightmare (Bolt_upright) for example and the people that get upset because you didnt pass to them 3 seconds into the game.. 90% of the community is already toxic as it is. We shouldn't have to back out or suffer until these people get kicked from the game to carry on. No one should have to put up with trolls making this game worse than what it is ontop of the current issues that people are having. But unfortunately these people can still exist in the community and rain terror on those who have to play drop-ins 24/7. Has there ever been a thought of making something so we can get these trolls out of the game? I would also like to add on to this, within the store on eashl, you have your new builds. Please for the love of god can you make it so we can view the stats of these new builds without being forced to buy them. Genuine feedback would be highly appreciated.Authentic Arenas
EA. You have an agreement with both the NHL and NHLPA. So why not increase your revenue intake, and make agreements with the companies who advertise on the nhl arena boards. This way, you would be making the game look more authentic, as well as creating revenue by allowing those companies to advertise in the game. Then perhaps. You can loosen the purse strings on the outrageous price you put on packs. Right now. The arena's are not true to realism.Fixed price
EA. You have got to get rid of this concept of having players with a fixed starting price. The auction house is overloaded with them. They mostly won't be sold. Let the community dictate player costs. Last year you even had cards with no selling value at all. Not sure of the reasonings with that. But the fixed price. Has got to go.
MISSING GOALIE EQUIPMENTS + NHL GOALIE PICTURES 2025/26
Another year, another topic updates: 01.10. 2025 - added real goalie pictures 2025/26 BOTTOM on this post. 19.09. 2025 - added True Catalyst Nitro Pro 15.09. 2025 - wrong zones for CCM eFLEX 7 Pro 09.09. 2025 - sticks for left-handed goalies with wrong textures added 09.09. 2025 - new Vaughn ION ?? added 08.09. 2025 - added note about goalie sticks problem Missing gear True Catalyst Nitro Pro - (Daccord, Saros, Stalock) Vaughn ION ??? - (Pickard) TRUE L95 - (Bobrovskyi, Dostal, Nedeljkovic) Bauer SV-Pro - (Thompson) Vaughn SLR 4 Pro (Soderblom) - still missing from 2023? PADS need to update zones: TRUE HZRDUS - we need more color zones on edge right now is just 1.In game is just one color zones on edge. TRUE Catalyst PX5 - wrong color zones, when one color is addressed to multiple zones, so it is not possible to do setup e.g. Daccord. We need 2 color zones instead of one. It is zone 13, which should be divided into two separate parts. TRUE L20.2 wrong color zones on edge! (Right now is just one color zone) Correct, on picture - We need 4 color zones instead of one. CCM eFLEX 7 Pro wrong color zones on edge Correct, on picture - We need 4 color zones instead of two. BUG WRONG COLOR ON ZONE 7 ON TRUE CATALYST NITRO PRO There’s a visual bug with the True Catalyst Nitro Pro pads — it’s impossible to set zone 7 to white (it always stays light grey). Goalie stick problem for left-handed goalies There is a visual bug with certain sticks (with asymetrical design), such as the Bauer Supreme Shadow, where the logo is displayed on the wrong side for left-handed goaltenders. For example, Charlie Lindgren, who catches right (stick in left hand), holds the stick in his left hand, but in-game the Bauer logo appears on the back side of the stick rather than facing forward. Expected Behavior: For left-handed goaltenders, the stick logo should be visible on the front side (the side facing the opponent/viewer), not the back. Right-handed goaltenders should have the logo facing forward as well. Actual Behavior: The logo appears on the back side of the stick for left-handed goaltenders, making it look incorrect and unrealistic. The following list about those incorrect sticks are : CCM EFLEX 5 PRO LITE (text is correct way but it is the backside what is showing) WARRIOR RITUAL CR1 WARRIOR HERITAGE SWAGGER WARRIOR RITUAL M1 WARRIOR RITUAL M2 SHERWOOD REKKER LEGEND WARRIOR RITUAL V3 TRUE HOCKEY HZRDUS 9X4 BAUER SUPREME SHADOW WARRIOR RITUAL M3 BAUER VAPOR FLYLITE CCM VIZION SHERWOOD MORPH TRUE HZRDUS SMOKE REAL GOALIE PICTURES 2025/26 ANAHEIM BOSTON BUFFALO CALGARY CAROLINA CHICAGO COLORADO COLUMBUS DALLAS DETROIT EDMONTON FLORIDA LOS ANGELES MINNESOTA MONTREAL NASHVILLE NEW JERSEY ISLANDERS RANGERS OTTAWA PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURGH SAN JOSE ST. LOUIS TAMPA BAY TORONTO UTAH VANCOUVER VEGAS WASHINGTON WINNIPEGFAVORITE TEAM BUG
when choosing a favorite team now, you get players from other teams showing up in the background. I think this happened after the latest update.EA_Aljo edit: Choosing a favorite team to be shown in the menus now seems to display players from the opposite team in the next upcoming matchup according to the nhl scheduel? is this a new feature? or a bug?NHL 26 – Major Gameplay Issues (Poke Check & Goalie AI)
EA, what’s going on with NHL 26? The poke check system is absolutely broken — it’s inconsistent, unresponsive, and makes defending painful. On top of that, the goalie AI on breakaways might be the worst it’s ever been in the history of the NHL series. Goalies just slide out of position or stand there like traffic cones. Is this issue on your bug list, and is a fix coming soon? Because right now, the game feels like a mess in these areas. It’s frustrating to play something that clearly wasn’t tuned properly before release. Please confirm if these problems are being worked on for an upcoming patch.World of chel store
I have had it with this. It's actually sad I am even upset over this.. The 10/21/ 25 update said it added the ducks and kings new logos ...hmm well I had them in world of chel my club creations saw the new logo photo highlight its thr old one why not just give me the logo since I had it unlocked now its locked again same for the kings... and I, gonna assume I won't ever get it cuz that's ea is.. And when can we expect the following jerseys to be in the world of chel store.. Red wings centennial Sharks 3rd Kraken 3rd Bruins new home and away Avalanche 3rd Quebec Minnesota 3rd Also 3 new Bauer sticks were added ..they are shown in offline creations but not in world lf chels store.. these all should have bee. In the store TODAY once the store updated.. so when will we see these or is EA not giving a **bleep** about world of chel players???
Standing to Butterfly Slide Freeze
When looking to butterfly slide from a standing position during a potential shooting opportunity, my goalie will freeze in the butterfly position before sliding causing a timing issue for when the shot happens guaranteeing a goal. Has anyone else experienced this and come up with a work around?Voice chat bug
This is unacceptable. While matchmaking 2-3 times a day I’ll get stuck “finding opponent” and I can hear the other team but it’ll just keep “searching”. I backed out and searched again and I can STILL hear them, while it’s found me another team and another opponent, then of course it lags out and says there was an unexpected error matchmaking. You’re a billion dollar company, you copy/paste the game every year. FIGURE IT OUT. attn: Aljo don’t bother responding, you’re unhelpful and passive aggressive. I’ll screenshot this so that when you ban me I can just go to my alt and post again.Ability control
It appears that EA is controlling where ability points are allocated. For instance, I had both abilities active on Brodeur one day; I returned the next, and both were deactivated, reverting to their previous state. This is unacceptable because it’s supposed to be 'Play Your Way,' but that clearly isn’t what's happening.
