Eashl Matching is atrocious this year
Not sure what is going on but it's to the point where my group is just about done with this game. Constantly being matched up with 25k+ players when we are in the 17k range...the game is not fun. I can't imagine it being fun for the other team.6Views0likes0CommentsEASHL Glitch Goals
People are abusing the forehand/backhand on every play and ragging the puck until the shot opens up since it's guaranteed to go in. This is considered abusing glitches and is also considered cheating under terms of service, while EA is doing nothing to fix this or penalize players for this. There is no competition in the game because of this, nobody is playing real hockey, and constant losing games my club plays better in due to the glitch goal. A team can have 5 shots and win the game because of this shot, while my team has 30 shots and 1 goal. It's unbalanced.BlackPyklodeon6 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer21Views0likes4CommentsCaptain Cards Hut
Hey there, I have 2 86 OVR captain cards in hut in my lineup and for some reason I’m not able to activate either as my captain for chemistries. I’ve tried everything I can to activate them and it doesn’t give me the option.Mattsson2113 hours agoRising Newcomer12Views0likes2CommentsControlling the player character is not working
Hey, has anyone else noticed that when playing, guys just stay in place out of nowhere even though there's a puck on the platform and then they automatically protect the puck with their sticks?I tried it in another game and the controller works normally. Is this a bug? It happens in wild card, rivals, champs and cup/hut moments.WaaJartssaplay14 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer25Views0likes1CommentChel improvement's
1.Can you make less laggy loading screens and other main menu things. It is too slow for game that doesn't need much graphics and processor power. 2. chel lobby - can you make going back (quitting lobby) more easy. that would make sense. Example if i play 6v6 (drop in and team game) if you decide to quit. Go just back one step not 3steps(to chel main menu). 3.Goalie equipment edit still are not highlighted (club goalie) 4. Regular skater gloves to are not highlighted 5. Goalie interference (take a look how it works and doesn't work), i don't have video of this, but some times you can stand almost still before goalie field or even worst goalie is 1meter out off his work area, and still get goalie interference/goal doesn't count. 5. 0 angle goals/no space goals goalie is letting in foolish goals 6. Nerf L2, truculence, speed attributes, give defense similar weapons **bleep** offense. Bring balance in place. 7. Poke checks/ weird animations when you skate by people and can not brake. 8. Loose puck retrieving, sometimes it feels like other players are glued to the puck. 9. Lobby errors trown out of lobby(game failed etc) 10. lobby icon/banner swaps between the players, it sometimes shows other player icons on you and your teammates Swaps them between players. 11. Make that Only Club Members can change strategies in the game not drop in players. Make NHL great again 🙏 i will try and add videos when i can7Views0likes0CommentsEASHL logo isn't showing up in club customization
My team has grinded to unlock the tiki mask logo (shows up as logo #108 in our club bag), but it's not there at all. It's been hours since we've played, and it's not in our newly acquired section or general custom logos, and a different dragon logo we have is labelled as #108 instead. We were curious if there is anything that can be done about this, because the tiki mask logo is really important to us. Thanks in advance!8Views1like1CommentCrashing
Crashes occur regularly during gameplay in 16 team playoffs with two local players. Play now does not crash with same two local players on x/s console purchased in 2022. Single local player in play now does not crash. The crash causes the console to just turn off. Both controllers are current both are wireless. Console is up to date. Tried alternative controllers crashes persist. Tried console power cycle before every game and power cycle with router reboot before every game to no avail. Tried clearing files to no avail. Console is well ventilated. One suspect I have is changing sliders and overwriting the settings within the playoffs before gameplay but it’s only a suspicion. However changing sliders in play now does not cause crashing. A very frustrating and disappointing problem that started in 24 and continues in 25. NHL26 is a great game but the crashing makes it unplayable. What should we do EA?5Views0likes1CommentGlitch in Online mode. With Oilers.
So when I load up an online versus game with the Oilers I go to the edit line screen and the numbers of the lines are all out of symmetry and there's a missing right wing player slot on the far right. Also as the game is being played it often just resets to the last face off and it just keeps doing so until I end up quitting the game and adding another loss to my L column this is extremely frustrating is this happening for anyone else? Can anyone tell me what's going on or how to fix this?!thehipchek15 hours agoRising Newcomer5Views0likes1CommentMy real name is offensive???
I’m trying to create my CHEL player and it’s telling me my name is offensive. It says a combination of my first and last name contains profanity. My name is Jim [REMOVED]. Anybody else having this issue? How do I get this fixed? I’ve used my name for years in these games.bbedbf07abef2fda16 hours agoRising Newcomer13Views0likes1CommentNew Be A Pro is unplayable
As a big be a pro fan, this years so called "update" has been a huge dissapointment. There are multiple issues that ruin the gamemode and make it feel like grinding. 1 . The New form score system is absolutely ridicilous. It seems like the form score only bases on your point production and I have to keep it up ALL THE TIME, so I wouldn't get down in lines. One challenge asked me to keep up 85 form score in next 8 games and I literally have to score 2 points every game to make that happen. And when the 8 games are over, the coach just gives me another, exactly identical challenge. It just feels like grinding and the game isn't fun. Also it's very unrealistic to expect a rookie to score even a point per game and I would habe to score almost two per game to keep myself in the roster. 2 . We cannot use custom rosters in be a pro. So, there is only one default ea roster they use for be a pro and it's absolutely outdated and some of the players ratings are very inaccurate, so it eould be nice to use your custom roster. Also this deafult roster doesn't have many elite prospects like Gavin McKenna and because we can't use our custom rosters, NHL draft class quality is weaker. 3 . Character's overall drops significantly during offseason and I lost my X-Factor I finished my season at 86 overall and during offseason, my overall dropped to 79. Because of this I lost my tape to tape X-Factor, because I have to have atleast 93 passing and 89 offensive awareness and when these ratings dropped during offseason, I cannot use the X-Factor until I get my attributes back to that level. I also can't even use specialist or superstar version of the X-Factor during that time. 4 . Salary perks system is bad. Every month the salary perks reset and the attributes go down if you don't renew them. It would be better if your attributes would actually stay up permanently. 5 . Every time I enter the Be A Pro menu, there's a very annoying sound coming from form score meter. It is possible to tirn it off in the settings by putting SFX volume to zero, but it also affects gameplay sounds and I don't hear skates and passing sounds anymore and it's frustrating to go back to the settings after every single game. This new be a pro does have ome good additions like the new cutscenes and tunnel walkouts and even new menu music but these bad things ruin the game mode completely and destroy my motivation.Wizarbi2 days agoRising Traveler31Views0likes1CommentKeep getting disconnected while leading and losing 10+ rank points.
Hi EA Team! 🏒 Hope all is well with you. I keep losing connection every now and then mid-game, making me loose a bunch of points and competitive rank in online versus. Happens most of the time when I am leading the game as well which is really frustrating and takes away the fun of the game and hard work I've put in. I have a 296-48-5 record and I am pretty sure about 25-30 of all those losses are connection related, the other losses I admit are without a doubt me getting my **bleep** kicked.. 😅 I feel like it is unfair to be punished and lose 10-13 rank points when being disconnected especially in the lead of a game. Can you please consider this? My internet is stable, I even switched Wi-Fi provider with an even faster speed of 1000/1000 a few weeks ago but still have the same problem. Never ever has one of my opponents lost connection while they are in the lead, but it happens to me too often. I am on XBOX Series S. I had the same issues in NHL 25 & 24. Please see attached screenshots that shows internet connection is stable and ping low, but still losing connection with that. Is there anything I can do?

Playing season 2 with my BAP goalie and my shutout record does not show in the recordbook for NHL record season. My first season is in the book but not my second.

(On PS5) At least in World of CHEL (3on3), evidently as the player taking a faceoff, you can currently hit the opposing faceoff taker immediately off of faceoffs and get absolutely nothing. And you bet your cheeks every mental 5 year-old **bleep** is abusing this as much as they possibly can! This HAS TO be a penalty shot (or penalty) every single time! It ruins the game if this continues to be a thing! And yes, this definitely amounts to a bug, glitch or technical error.RavenAkaStL3 days agoSeasoned Traveler111Views2likes7CommentsNo access to the salary perks or to calendar in be a pro
There is no menu option to access salary perks in be a pro. That menu randomly popped up once but not able to access it again as it’s not under any other tab in the be a pro home screen. Also, there seem to be another bug where we can no longer access the calendar in be a pro to see when are the upcoming games especially with the new energy feature that needs to be managed but only gets replenished once every week l5KViews7likes21CommentsPacks giving bound players

My friends and I enjoy playing chel. We started in '24 where we won probably one out of four games. We're not great but we give it our all every time and we don't quit thinking that division 10 is where we need to be to play people like us. 26 came around and we got it. Just over 100 games in and our win rate is 8%. We are all silver twos and threes. I notice we constantly playing platinum and diamond teams. What are they doing in division 10? Are we doing something wrong? We get blown out anytime they are on a team. They will weave and dodge their way into the net and anything we do is wrong. I know, get better right? How when we collectively spend 70% of our time defending? EA... FIX YOUR DIVISION MATCHMAKING. I'VE HAD ENOUGH.Battledor_x4 days agoSeasoned Newcomer31Views0likes3Comments- tlestrat94 days agoSeasoned Newcomer56Views0likes3Comments
