XP Cards
I’m gonna say this again. We need line combos for the XP cards. Some of these cards are really good yet it’s almost impossible to fit them in our lineups because there aren’t any line combos for them. It’s like we’re being teased with these greatcards because we can’t use them.eviljoekills3 hours agoSeasoned Traveler6Views0likes0CommentsKeep getting kicked from games
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.TheFinesseDaddy3 hours agoNew Traveler7Views0likes0CommentsSick and tired of glitches and computers not doing anything.
Players skating around like they're having an epileptic seizure (I have epilepsy, so don't think for a second I'm making fun of people with it) or LTing. You cover your opponent and pinch them along the boards. Only for your computer to skate up to them and do nothing. No stick check. No body check. Nothing. So they pass the puck along the boards to the blue line to try and set up one timers. I set my strategies to tight point and staggered. I'm covering the passing lane and pinch my opponent again. What happens? My computer again comes close to take the puck away with me. No stick check, no body check. Nothing. It's like a flip a coin simulator to see if your team performs at all. Some games your players forecheck, body check, stick check, intercept passes. The next game. Nothing. You literally have to switch players constantly and do everything on your own because your computers are useless. There is ZERO consistency in the game. It doesn't matter if you're playing HUT, WoC, Online Versus. The computer is useless. You'll send your forwards to leave the zone early to get a two on one situation. Good idea, right? Nope. You have the two on one and 1 of 6 things will happen. Your winger will skate to the blueline slow down and curl off for no reason. Your winger will stop up at the hash marks and curl away for no reason. Your winger will set up for the one timer but hold on to the puck for just enough time for your opponent's goalie to get into position THEN shoot. Your winger won't be in position and will follow you to the same side for no reason. Your winger will completely over skate the play and end up behind the net and miss the one timer completely. Your winger will be in position and score a one timer. The defensive side of things can be quite similar. You want to protect a lead? Set up the NZT? Your computer will collapse into the NZ. When your opponent gets their breakout pass. Your computer dman won't pinch the player. They will skate towards the middle of the ice and your opponent easily blows past them. That has been a problem for YEARS. Some games it works but when it's a 1 goal game and I have 30-9 shots on net versus my opponent. Don't count on your computer to make any clutch plays. And before you try to break down what I'm doing wrong. I can assure you I don't make many mistakes. I understand the game mechanics and how people take advantage of them to pull of cheesy wins. When I am forced to move like figure skater Yuna Kim and use the same boring backhand / forehand goal every time to beat the goalie. It gets old, real quick. But when I deke around my opponent and toe drag short side or shoot through screens. Their goalie plays like a they've just won a Vezina trophy. This is constructive criticism but it seems over the past few years. It's fallen on deaf ears and it's extremely disappointing. We don't expect perfection, we expect consistency.NIHILISTWOLFE294 days agoSeasoned Veteran96Views4likes4CommentsOff the ice until 5/19

I think many players, people who play NHL series regularly, are disappointed with the NHL in terms of changes. So, speaking as a major part of the player base, there are a few things that would make the game better and fulfill our desires. Be A Pro international tournaments - EA did one step ahead to make the NHL better, and that's they added the Junior World Championship. But it's just one step to make the NHL better. As I read some forums or discussions, everyone wants, and I am not an exception. WE want IIHF and Olympic Games in Be a Pro mode. You know, GM or Coach calling you if you want to be a part of the national team at the World Championship or Olympic Games. BUT of course, you need to do something for it, so you get challenges to get in there. Winter Games - Everyone wants it back, and I agree with this. I think this makes the NHL look good and makes it look alive. Rookie Laps - I think this is just a detail to add, to be more realistic. I think this is the least EA can do. More realistic fans and crowds at the game - I would LOVE to see fans act more realistically. You know, they really do something, not just sit, move with head, and when I shoot goal, they just stand, sit, or jump from their seats and clap their hands. You know, this seems so unrealistically and it destroys the atmosphere in the arena. More joy from the goals. Make Be a Pro more realistic - Yes, I know. EA did something in Be a Pro mode, but you know, it's good. But we would love to see more things, you know, do you know what BAP is about? Play two games at WJC, a few games in the league, get drafted, and get the same challenges over and over again. That's just boring. Active Social Media - I think this feature is in FIFA, too. Fans posting opinions on the last game, or photos, your team publishing your photos or clips of your greatest moments in the game. More Animations - More animations. Before your first game, or at the start of the play-offs, clip from the changing room, capturing you getting ready for the match, or your teammates. Off-ice animations, and more animations on the bench, after you score a goal, your players on the bench just stand up and begin to wave, the animation is on loop. Better Presentation - Okay, this is the most desired and disappointing thing in the NHL. Look at NHL 19. This was maybe the last good NHL game, no, actually the last GREAT AND MOST REALISTIC NHL game. The presentation is exceptional. Compared to the current presentation, it's gross, really, sorry, but it is true. New Commentators - Listening to the same commentator over and over again, it's boring, repeating everything every single match. James Cibulski is boring in the NHL now, really. More Goal Celebrations - This is just a detail. But it's not great to watch every single game, the boring celebration, it looks like the players don't enjoy the moments. Everyone just lifts their hands in the air and skates slowly after the player that shot the goal. Why can't they celebrate the goal more properly, more simulated, so it looks like they really enjoy the moment and show the joy from it? Just a quick sentence about all of this. Why is EA spending more and more money on the FIFA series, instead they could try to spend more on the NHL series? I think FIFA and the NHL are on the same page in terms of popularity, and the NHL, compared to FIFA, looks incomplete and undeveloped, like a game that existed 10 years ago when developers were too lazy to work on the game. So why not make the NHL better and make it look as good as FIFA? Thank you if you at least read it! But PLEASE EA, I beg you, and I will give you all the money if you do this. Everyone is excited to experience the new era of the NHL.DT0212085 days agoSeasoned Newcomer54Views0likes0CommentsNHL 27 Ideas WOC MODE UPDATE
EA_Aljo I am not here to complain or be rude or tell people how to make the game i am just here to help and give great ideas hopefully there a lot of things i think that would really help make the game in a better direction *World of chel woc is a big part of the community i know Hut is very popular but world of chel is up there too and there a lot of changes that would be amazing to see i just wanna give my opinion what ive seen in the past few nhl ive played. *Traits I think the trait thing is cool but i also think your giving us traits that make it where everyone is using the same thing there is really no variety its really just meta at this point i feel all builds should equally be meta you know. i think like having 1 main trait and then 2 boost would really make people have to build a build that truly fits there style if you wanna be a goal scorer then you should get to use 1 shooting trait and 2 boost that are not super overpowered you know or if you wanna be a playmaker you can use elite edges and 2 boost make it where people have to really choose cause its like you have to choose what you really want because it makes it where people cant have edges , warrior and quick release make it were they can only choose one. this comes to make next category *Skill points i think this should be done a little bit different i think allowing people to tank stats makes it really easy for everyone to use the same thing example tanking ur wrist shot power and slap to have endurance and puck control up or tanking ur accuracy to have high balance and speed and agility i think you should only be able to go -3 down instead of 10 so it really makes people think where they really wanna put the stats at you know. and it makes where people truly have to think what they want in a build. *Build Caps I think the game should have a certain type of speed and and agility and balance in my opinion should not be 97 speed or 90 plus balance or or 97 agility i think the game should have a cap of 94 in speed and agility and cap of balance of 83 or 86 you will know why in my next thing thing why im saying this *LT i get it LT can be one of those thing people say "why dont you just hit him then its not the LT its you" well here is the problem with that you ur constantly LT and going in circles like a figure skater its not even hockey at that point if you look at real like hockey yeah they turn there back a little but there NOT DOING IT EVERY PLAY it gets so boring to watch because even when you try to hit the LT just make it where game mechanics does not let you hit or play defense towards the LT i think any type of LT is ridiculous lol. it looks goofy no offense. *Gameplay Mechanics Defense lacks big time this year so does shooting and goalies not being able to save a cross crease but can save tough shots but let in bad ones lol needs to be the other way goalies should get sniped if you take a great shot and there no in postion or make a great play bur they should save the bad bounces at least sometimes *Last ask is customization let it be more things new stuff new things to arenas / gear / presentation and more / new modes in world of chel and new competition ways BRING BACK CR thank youiamNxckyy5 days agoRising Newcomer85Views1like2CommentsSeason 5 team Salary combos horrible
The new season five line combinations with the salary caps are an absolute mind-boggling joke!!! I’ve never bought a pack and I refused to spend money to buying packs and this is what these combinations are for, because you cannot make a decent team with the cap combination restrictions You have right now in this game. Your players salaries are all high now, but the combinations are abysmal five and $8 million combos, and you can’t combine them with any other. I had one, that I could’ve combine three commas together, but the player doesn’t even exist. I have a potential of a $24 million line, which would pretty much solve my issue, but the Red Wing, trade request player doesn’t even exist…. I understand you want to do sacrifices but it doesn’t change the fact that it stops $8 million to form a team. A three line combo of the New greats, I have three players and all I would get for them in the line combination of the player cards you guys gave me is $6 million. The entire line costs $43 million, but you only gonna give a measly combination of 6 million Horrendous that’s all I can call it…. I guess I’ll have to see you guys in a couple weeks when I can actually form a team, because I’m not paying for it.NEWFIEEE6 days agoNew Vanguard68Views2likes1CommentBe a Pro Tweaks
Have some general feedback on be a pro, things I think would improve the mode. There needs to be an ability to select the type of career you will have, like College Football. Examples: Star player: drafted picks 1-10, will have an immediate impact Top 6/top 9: Will be picked in the mid 1st to mid 2nd, will take some development. Late round pick: Will have to carve your way through the system to prove your worth Undrafted: Get signed at 22-24 years of age out of Europe/CHL and have to make a name for yourself almost immediately. The same story line of a guy that gets drafted in the first round and has to be an immediate star is boring. Sometimes, I want to be a later round pick/undrafted player that proves my worth. It's way too easy to make the NHL squad out of pre-season, even as a later drafted player. Teams should also draft you based on positional needs. If I'm a LW'er, teams stacked down the left side shouldn't be looking at me because of their LW depth. NHL teams DO draft the best player available, but some swings are also made at drafts. Penalties for poor play also need a re-work. If I'm a winger fully covering my defenseman in the D zone, and the AI defensemen collapse for a goal against, that's not my fault. I was doing my job. Also, I think we need to scrap the current player builds for more dynamic builds. For example, NBA 2K has a system where you can directly edit your build before you start, choosing which attributes your player will have. It also shows the MAX overall that build can reach. It then shows what 3 players that build shows shades of. If I create a playmaking sniper build, I can show shades of Artemi Panarin, Nikita Kucherov, and David Pastrnak. It just gives users an idea of the build they are creating. Also allowing users to directly edit their shoot/pass bias for simulation purposes. Examples being: - Playmaking Sniper - Two-way playmaker - DFD with puck moving capabilities - Shoot-first grinder I don't want to be a DFD stuck with bad skating and offensive skills. What If I want to do prime Ryan Suter build, a DFD with good offensive capabilities good for 40-50 points a season? I hate being locked into a build, then having to spend what little skill tree points I get to make my DFD have better passing, then not being able to focus on my other attributes. Play styles should determine the role you play on the team.. Why am I, a defensive dman, getting penalized for not scoring the game tying goal? If I'm a grinder, my role should be to get pucks in deep, wreak havoc in the corners, and throw the body while playing a defensive shut down game. It'd be awesome if you were a grinder and your coach puts your 3rd line against Matthews or Eichel with the objective to shut them down. I don't always want to be the next Gretzky. This goes towards player customization in general, but there needs to be more of it. Things like dynamic and signature tape jobs relative to NHL players, different stick blade types, stick curves (strictly cosmetic), jersey sleeve roll ups, more hair styles, shin pad size, etc.36Views0likes0CommentsDeleted team
Can anybody help me with restoring my team? I started playing hut nhl 26 in the middle of season 4. Built my team all the way up. Finished the xp season to get jt miller. Just now, at the start of season 5 I traded in a bunch of cards to get the 97 ovr Claude giroux captains card. When I went back to edit my lineup, I kept getting an error message saying that a card I was trying to put into my lineup was already actively in my lineup, but it wasn’t. So to trouble shoot the problem, I tried making a new lineup but accidentally deleted my entire team. I had put a lot of hours into building my team and it just vanished. Does anyone know if I can get my old team back?ZIGGYFLY03417 days agoNewcomer44Views0likes1CommentEA where's the BaP updates we want

I maybe played this game for first month and now decided to hop back on. Boy do I regret it. The players feel slow and skating is terrible. Playing the CPU and for some reason can’t knock them off the puck but if a breeze hits my player the puck comes flying off my stick. BAP revamp isn’t really a revamp just slapped lipstick on a pig and called it good. It’s upsetting that they purposely make the offline modes so bad to make you play modes like HUT and CHEL to blow more money on the game. Wish they would bring back Connected Franchise. That is something that has been the only thing people want but for some reason EA NHL can’t do it but Madden can? I know different crew but like still can’t ask for help? Also, where is the winter classic? That was in NHL 13. Can’t wait for the Lie about NHL 27 from a greedy organization.iTz_xXGREENXx7 days agoSeasoned Novice52Views0likes1CommentSuggestion For HUT SalaryCap and LineChem
EA should remove the salary increase from line chemistry. The salary cap should just be a set value that gradually increases throughout the year. It should also stay on the lower side so players are forced to make real lineup decisions. You could either build strong depth across all four lines or stack your top lines for short, high-overall shifts. Stacking would be powerful in key moments, but it would come with the downside of weaker depth and stamina issues. Line chemistry also needs to make more sense. It should be based on real connections like current teammates, former teammates, nationality, or shared team history. Right now, the chemistry combos feel random because they are often just a mix of different event cards and team cards. A proper chemistry system should reward things like building a Canadian line, an American line, an Edmonton line, or a line made up of former team players. Players want to use cards from their favourite teams, but a lot of the time they cannot because it is not competitive. That makes team building feel less fun. EA should also bring the offline Cup Chase format into ranked. Ranked games should feel more like playing through a real season instead of just random one-off games. Obviously, your upcoming opponent would still be unknown, but your past games could be displayed on a calendar. After playing a set number of games in a mini season, you would try to qualify for the playoffs, which could basically lead into HUT Champs. Ranked should have a past-game calendar system, and Champs should be themed like the playoffs. This would also be a good reason to bring back 3v3 overtime in ranked. Lastly, card packs should have more of a draft-pick theme. Instead of just opening packs normally, there could be odds of “drafting” players at different overall levels. This would make opening packs feel more exciting and give the mode a stronger team-building identity. Bonus suggestion: captaincy letters should actually matter. Giving a player the “C” should boost them by +2 overall, while giving a player an “A” should boost them by +1 overall.vwalfw3t5fsq8 days agoNewcomer86Views0likes1CommentNHL 27 Face Scan Priority List.

Thanks!BigTimeTimJim8 days agoNew Veteran530Views3likes7CommentsUltimate Customization for NHL27: Fixing Generic Faces and Silhouettes
One of the biggest immersion issues in the game right now is how generic players and silhouettes are handled Across multiple modes, especially Franchise and online play, seeing blank silhouettes instead of actual player images makes the game feel unfinished. Even if a player does not have a real photo, people still want to see something that represents an actual person. There is already a system in Madden that solves this without breaking licensing rules. Let users fully edit the generic face assigned to any player or even their height and weight Once edited, replace the silhouette or licensed photo with that generic face Allow this for any player, even ones that currently have a real photo. Player "real" photo is then removed not breaking any licensing rules. It's almost like they just become a created player. For players without image rights, they can still start with a blank silhouette. But as soon as we edit the generic face that was assigned to them, that should automatically become their player image. That way every player ends up looking like a real person instead of a placeholder. I understand that in online modes you are locked to official rosters and cannot edit players. That part makes sense. But even in those modes, silhouettes should not exist. If a player does not have a licensed photo, the game should automatically use the generic face already assigned to that player as their portrait. That way online play still stays within licensing rules, but no one is looking at blank silhouettes. Right now, I end up recreating tons of players who don't have face scans every year because the default faces and hairstyles look nothing like them. It takes hours for something that should be simple, especially when we already have generic faces in the game that could be used properly. This also connects to the bigger customization gap: More hairstyles and the ability to edit hair and head size even on scanned players. New player face models especially younger looking mods. Too Many of the generic faces look old when it's now a younger game and future drafted players should look young. Real equipment options like different stick colorways and skate variations that already exist in real life Helmet size, shin pad profiles, and gear fit options Tape jobs, jersey style, and shoulder pad adjustments Stick Length and spray painted sticks. Many players cut their sticks shorter or use longer while a new trend is players spray painting the lower half of their sticks and needs to be added. Customization should not stop just because a player has a scan or a licensed photo. If anything, those players should still be fully editable so we can keep things accurate over time. This includes customization within franchise mode. Players ratings are constantly changing. If we're not getting GM connected; and even if wedid, we should be able to fully edit players within franchise mode, including changing generic faces, hair styles, height, weight and especially attributes. We should not be locked out of this, Madden currently allows you to edit players attributes and ratings within franchise mode. If face scans are going to take time to roll out do to licensing and the developers, waiting for players to be worthy, at least give us the tools to bridge the gap ourselves and have complete editing in customization over generic placeholders. Fixing how generic faces and silhouettes work would be a huge step toward that, and it would improve every mode, not just Franchise. hope the developers take the time to read this and implement it in Nhl 27. Please relay to the community manager and any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!196Views4likes1Comment
