Any reason why NHL can’t update player profile pics like FIFA does?
I just don’t get what’s the actual problem with updating player headshots in NHL. It should be one of the simplest things to do — yet every year we’re stuck with outdated or missing photos for key players and top rookies. Meanwhile, FIFA (from the same publisher!) manages to update thousands of player photos in a single patch (last update edited/added 2000 photos). So why can’t NHL add or update even a few dozen? At this point, it honestly feels like the devs either don’t care or just don’t consider this important — which is really disappointing for those of us who notice these details and care about authenticity.Solved307Views1like24Comments
Feature: Add any for stickhandedness
Hi, Would there be a way to an ANY selection for stick handedness? This would be a very niche feature, but sometimes I don't mind having an off hand. Makes the game a bit more interesting with the randomness, like with picking D instead of picking RD or LD exclusive. Would be low on the list of features, but would be fun and could add some variety to games.SolvedAgentHammer19 days agoSeasoned Rookie44Views0likes3Comments

Deleted topic again?
EA_Aljo Hi, Was the topic deleted again? Do you know why my thread “Missing Equipment + Real Goalie Pictures 2025/26” has been removed for the second time? Thanks. So I spent half a day working on that thread to help people who want to edit goalies with their real-life equipment — and it gets deleted again without any notice or message?

NHL 26 Be A Pro starting directly in NHL season
Hi! I've been a regular NHL player since NHL 17 and I've always played the Be A Pro mode, starting directly in the NHL and choosing the team I wanted to play each year, but I've found that in this NHL it's not possible. Am I doing something wrong or have they changed it and it's no longer possible? Thanks and regards.Solvedalberto_marco82 months agoNew Rookie195Views0likes6CommentsFake shot with just R3 on PS
In BaP mode (possibly other modes too), R3 triggers the fake shot without pressing LB at the same time. Anyone else seeing this? Sometimes I lean on the right stick fairly hard (so R3 gets clicked) when I'm about to shoot and I end up faking the shot and getting clobbered. I'm positive that I'm not holding LB since that would make no sense while taking a wrist shot. Can someone confirm this is happening? I don't want to have to remap buttons outside of the game to get around this. Trying to not click R3 while maneuvering for a shot is almost impossible (for me at least). Thanks!SolvedJohnnyLethal1512 months agoSeasoned Rookie151Views0likes19CommentsRed circle indicator under players
Hello everyone, I play with everything off besides the player name under the players, but for some reason this year in NHL 26 I can’t find the toggle off for the red circle under the players , I’ve checked everywhere am I missing it? Any help would be great as I play the game with out any of the xfactors or any of the fatigue indicators and without the red circle. Thank you.Solved20Portugal043 months agoNew Veteran170Views0likes1CommentNHL26 BAP Question
When playing Be A Pro in previous titles such as NHL25 you were always given a list of options when going into a game based on shift lengths, Quick(5m periods),Medium(10M), Real-Time(20M), or Custom(Allowed you to choose period length and would load custom gameplay slider settings) but Custom is missing in 26. The only roundabout way I have found to keep my preferred settings from game-to-game without having to set period length and sliders every time is if I avoid the "play next game" button and having to go through simming the first 20seconds of the game so it doesnt reset settings. So my question is, is the "Custom" period length button coming back? Cause its annoying when I cant even save a 'preset' for my preferred settings/sliders and have to write it all down somewhere.SolvedNBLSXSopeX3 months agoSeasoned Rookie185Views0likes8CommentsTunnel walkout out

Is anyone else running into strange weekly growth issues with their player attributes in Be a Pro? I’ve noticed that some weeks I’ll get massive decreases (or random huge increases) in my stats. For example, out of nowhere I’ll lose like -70,000 XP on Skating, with almost every skating-related attribute dropping around -19,000 XP — suddenly everything’s in the low 70s. It seems to happen mostly with Skating and Physical. My Durability rating swings wildly too; sometimes it drops to around 60, then suddenly shoots back up to 99 when it gains another 50,000 XP. As a result, my overall rating keeps bouncing around — one week I’m in the low 60s, the next I’m mid-70s. This makes Be a Pro basically unplayable when you’re trying to stay in the NHL. One moment I’ve got 87 speed, the next I’m crawling at 70, skating like a tractor out there.SolvedAlpha-Lars173 months agoNew Novice491Views0likes3CommentsGoal Lights don’t Work

Hi, For the next game, would it be possible to allow editing a loadout's name from the Loadouts screen? Currently, we have to load each loadout to edit the loadout name, which is a slow process, in both effort and game loading speed. Could editing loadout names be directly added to the Loadouts screen itself? Process would be: Navigate to the Loadouts screen Select a loadout that you want to rename Trigger the "Rename" function to rename that specific loadout It performs the loadout rename If possible, this would speed up that process tremendously.

Just a heads up there is no notable upgrades to franchise mode this year. Also Gavin Mckenna isn’t available due to him going to the NCAA so you’re getting less realistic drafts in the first few years compared to NHL 25.

Can you not edit individual player tendencies?
"But what makes a superstar really stand out is their individual Tendencies on the ice. Highlighting their signature moves — like Draisaitl’s low shooting spot on the goal line and Trouba’s proclivity for laying the body — brings their on-ice character to life." The deep dive mentioned that there were 22 different individual tendencies. PLEASE don't tell me we're not able to edit these for palyers.Solvedrazor2rosary3 months agoNew Vanguard47Views1like2Comments
