Forced to quit HUT Cup Chase due to players not moving
Leading my Cup Chase game at the 2nd intermission and it will not progress to the 3rd period. It sat just showing the goalie on the ice for 20 minutes. I had to force quit the game in order to exit the game. I tried pausing the game, going i to instant replay, changing strategies, quick swap goalie, nothing could force it to move.into the 3rd period. Now I will be taking a loss on this and missing out on my undefeated Cup Chase objectives. Thanks EA for nothing as im sure nothing will be done about this.Solvedegudusky3 months agoRising Rookie1.5KViews18likes138CommentsCrash to Dashboard STILL
I’ve been dealing with this crash for about 4 - 5 games (NHL 22 -26). I thought it might be fixed finally this year, but no. I’ve seen other reports on this and no solutions. Every 3-5 games (playing mostly HUT) the game freezes and then boots me back to the dashboard. It’s super frustrating considering there’s challenges and rewards given based on going undefeated or wins in a row. Pretty much impossible to play or get anything done in the game. I’m on Xbox series X. I’ve done factory reset, changed my camera angle, done a power cycle… none of these have worked. I don’t know what to do at this point, feels like a waste of money buying the game at this point.Solved1.1KViews8likes73CommentsConstant hut crashing
Fix this game already!!!! Same garbage bs as last year with the exact same answer. Can hardly play hut cuz it crashes every 1-3 games or sometimes first game of day. If this isn’t going to be resolved I want a refund cuz it’s unreal this is still an ongoing issue. I have tried everything suggested multiple times don’t make a difference.braydonn3 months agoSeasoned Rookie380Views1like55CommentsEashl Club Ping
Playing in Alberta and usually connect to the northwest servers for our 6v6 club games. Normally I'd get 28ms ping, however over the past 3 nights that server has given me 70+ ms ping, and two other Alberta players are having the same issue. I know it's our server because the BC guys and California guys report the usual ping for themselves. Did something happen network wise that is forcing Alberta players to route differently now?huss482 months agoSeasoned Novice553Views4likes53CommentsCustom Roster Download Broken on PS5
EA_Aljo I am completely unable to get NHL 26 custom rosters to work on PS5 if they involve a lot of players. I downloaded 3 rosters, one that adds one player, and two that add quite a few. Only the one that adds one player works; the other two show that there are "no created players" in the creation zone. I have tried every method I can to get these rosters to work, but they refuse to. My only guess other than it just being completely broken is that I am using the 10 hour EA Play trial before the launch next week, and maybe the rosters were made by people who bought the deluxe edition. Either way, this is incredibly frustrating.1.7KViews4likes39Comments- JustAGamerOwO3 months agoRising Hotshot413Views2likes38Comments
Please fix
Issue #1: Franchise Mode Bug When I play Franchise Mode, the game consistently crashes after three games. I’m using Toronto, and the issue always occurs during the second game of a back-to-back against Detroit (the grudge match). The game freezes completely—you can’t do anything and are forced to close it. When you reload the save, the same crash happens again, making the file unusable. This bug repeats every time I start a new file, making Franchise Mode unplayable. Issue #2: Be a Pro – Stamina System I really appreciate the direction you’re taking with Be a Pro—it’s clear you’re trying to add realism by making players feel fatigued during tight games. However, the current stamina system makes the mode nearly impossible to enjoy. The weekly energy refill of just 5 points isn’t nearly enough. I’ve played 20 games, and in 11 of them, my player had completely empty stamina. When stamina is gone, the player moves so slowly that you can’t do anything. You get knocked around like a ragdoll, and all the fun is stripped away. As someone who only plays offline, I currently can’t enjoy either Be a Pro or Franchise Mode. I’m honestly starting to regret paying extra for early access. Please fix these issues so I can actually play the game622Views6likes36CommentsGame Still Crashing
Alright at this point I have tried absolutely everything to fix NHL26 from crashing besides buying a new console. I have two Xbox series X’s due to traveling from different states and had this issue constantly on my original Xbox series X. Every game I play besides NHL runs flawlessly and I cannot say the last time it crashed. From playing hours of MLB I believe I have never once crashed mid game. I ended up buying a new Xbox for my alternate location so I wouldn’t have to pack my Xbox whenever I traveled and it is about 4 months old now and am still having the crashing issue on this game. Tonight I tried to play hut and 2/3 games have crashed. One being in the third period and the other one was 2 minutes into the first period. I have gotten my Xbox’s professionally cleaned, purchased an expansion card, upgraded internet, spent hours on threads and many videos on how to fix this issue, and truly seems there is absolutely no fix. I will not purchase another new console as my other one that is only 4 months old has this problem as well. What I have gathered it is something with an Xbox series X and every other console does not have this issue. Ea has no fix or solution to this so I would advise if you only play NHL do not purchase an Xbox series X as this game is literally unplayable on it. Doesn’t matter what mode you play. Doesn’t matter what you do to try and fix it. It will crash non stop. It is so frustrating as truly any other game you play will run with no issues at all. Just don’t waste your time or money trying to fix it. Nothing will work. This issue has been going on for a few NHL year cycles and still no fix.BoltsHut913 months agoSeasoned Novice467Views5likes23CommentsStuck on salary perks in be a pro
I somehow went over budget during the off season and now when the perks pop up, I have no way of moving on. I have one active perk that I cant cancel because it’s a year long. I literally can’t play the game or do anything. it won’t let me add a video for some reason, but no button I press allows me to leave the perks menu and continue playing. When I restart the game, same issue every timeniffc353 months agoNew Rookie202Views0likes21CommentsError/Crash when editing club uniforms in WOC
Ever since the last update, any time I try to edit our club uniform WOC will randomly crash when trying to save. This happened last year but it was usually fixable. This year even changing one color block or adding a logo can cause an error when saving. Very frustrating!ZappaForever3 months agoSeasoned Vanguard147Views0likes21CommentsNo 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 l4.5KViews7likes20CommentsCrashing randomly
When playing games in hut, online vs. The game will randomly crash me back to the Xbox dashboard and I’ll lose all the progress made. This has to be fixed the game is almost unplayable. This is the only game that I experience these crashes with.nickwar20003 months agoSeasoned Newcomer162Views5likes20CommentsGameplay sliders not saving/loading in game
Hi, This is unfortunately a classic bug in the game but the games gameplay sliders presets (customizing the gameplay, skating etc) do not save when you click on play next game (in be a pro). It gives you the 3 options of game length but it was previously fixed in the past year by adding custom to then be able to load your custom gameplay sliders. The only way to have the gameplay sliders loaded into the game is to simply the game and Jump in mid game. Now I have to redo all the settings before eveygrame… Can we please have this fixed asap as it’s a real pain in the **bleep**!Hsars923 months agoRising Traveler325Views4likes16CommentsBAP Playoff OT issue
Just played a playoff game that went to OT and it went to 3 on 3 with a shootout after the first OT period. Searched around the settings and couldn’t find anything specific to OT settings, so I’m thinking this is an error. I am using NHL ruleset.OldGrumpyT3 months agoNew Novice108Views0likes15CommentsFantasy Alexis Lafreniere gone because of an 82/ 83 ovr set while on my lineup
I was doing an exchange set for an 82 or 83 overall player and had my fantasy Alexis Lafrenière in my lineup at the time. He was somehow put into the set and I saw this, my controller malfunctioned instead of pressing B pressed A, and I lost my Alexis Lafreniere. I'm hoping that you guys can try to recover my Alexis Lafrenier fantasy card... -Sincerely, ScarSpiderYT AKA DaFreeIce (The image is proof I had the collectables to make him, and there is the image of him in my inbox)178Views0likes14Comments
