Suggestions to improve the EASHL experience in NHL 26 +
Hello EA Sports, I'm a Product Development Director with over 20 years of experience in the tech industry, and an expert in UX/UI. I'm also a passionate player of the NHL series, especially in EASHL mode, which I regularly enjoy with my 3 friends player team. I'd like to offer a few concrete suggestions that could significantly enhance the overall experience for your player base. Here are a few ideas that could bring high value to the community: 1. Smart reconnection via session token Currently, if a player is disconnected (network drop, crash, etc.), they are permanently removed from the match, which puts their team at a major disadvantage. Suggestion: generate a reconnection token at the beginning of the game that remains valid until the match ends. This would allow any disconnected player to rejoin the same match automatically upon relaunching the game. You could even add a notification like: “Patrick has rejoined the game!” 2. Ability to change loadout mid-match Sometimes players enter a match with the wrong build or need to adapt mid-game to the opponents' strategy. Suggestion: allow loadout changes between periods, just like a coach adjusting tactics. 3. Unique customization per loadout At the moment, all loadouts share the same name, number, helmet, and visual setup. Suggestion: let players assign individual visual customization to each loadout. This would let a player visually represent different roles (e.g. a flashy loadout for a sniper, a rugged look for a grinder, etc.). 4. Configurable AI teammate styles When playing with small teams (e.g. 2 or 3 players), the remaining teammates and goalie are controlled by AI and can sometimes behave unpredictably. Suggestion: allow players to configure the AI teammate playstyle, such as: Goalie type (butterfly, hybrid, acrobatic…) Forward or defenseman profile (offensive, playmaker, physical…) Level of aggressiveness or caution This would add a layer of strategy and control while reducing frustration caused by rigid AI behavior. Final thoughts These suggestions aim to enhance the experience for serious and engaged players, bringing more flexibility, depth, and reliability to the EASHL mode. Thank you for considering this feedback Kind regardsNever get to play in Power Plays
I will draw the penalty from the other team, or just when ever there's a power play in general I'm ALWAYS TAKEN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO PLAY IN A POWER PLAY! THIS GAME IS GARBAGE. That's just 1 of probably 30 other complaints I don't even feel like naming because you won't fix them. I know this because I see other reviews and their complaints are the same as mine. The AI even on your team is against you. They steal your goals, block your shots, intentionally miss passes or delay their pass to you. Like seriously, I'm starting to think you just pump games out and never actually play them. Because if you did you'd see how frustrating and STUPID your AI is. It's 2025 AI can make movies...what are y'all doing over there at EA?NHL API for League
Hey everyone I know it was done years ago but does anyone know anything about API for a discord league? I’m Lg and LMSHL has done this but everytime I reach out I’ve been told figure out not our problem so I’m looking to get actual help not just people being **bleep**. If anyone knows please reach out it would really help for our league to organize everything
Bring NHL back to PC – Crossplay potential
Hello EA Sports NHL Team, I have been a loyal NHL fan since NHL 07 on PC. After that, I played every NHL game on PS3, PS4, and PS5, buying each new release. But now that I’ve switched to PC, I can’t play NHL anymore, and I really miss it.I truly believe NHL on PC has great potential, especially with crossplay. Many PC players want to play with their friends on consoles, both together in online clubs and against each other. If crossplay works in FIFA and NBA, why not in NHL? Eventually, it will have to happen, so why not now?By not releasing NHL on PC, you are losing dedicated fans who have simply moved to a better platform for graphics and performance. It’s frustrating that I can no longer enjoy NHL with my friends like before. My friend and I used to create an online club—me as a Center, him as a Goalie—and we had so much fun playing together. Now, I have no way to experience that, and I know I’m not the only one in this situation. I don’t want to buy a console just for NHL, and I don’t want to be forced to just watch others play while I sit out simply because I chose to game on PC. Please consider bringing NHL back to PC with full crossplay support. There is a demand for it, and many fans would love to see it happen. Thank you for your time.

Toty trade in sets
Hi. Just want to give some honest feedback on Nhl25toty. The Community in general is disappointed in the fact 84s and 86s don't hold fair value for trade in sets. As a longtime customer of your games I can honestly say this is the first time I feel EA has cheated their customers. Toty is an event the we all look forward to and would hope that EA would work with the customer base rather than giving them a hard time. I really enjoy playing the game but mismanaged events like this is pretty disheartening.

Be A Pro Goalie Equipment
When I start Be a Pro in the NHL, the goalie equipment does not match the active roster goalie equipment. Specifically the colorways, it is very noticeable on Utah where the goalie equipment colors are still red like in Arizona. If playing with the same roster in play now, the colorway is correct. Why is this the case for Be a Pro? Is there a reason the colorways differ from mode to mode?Bring back towel power in playoffs!!
Can you bring back towel power to NHL 25 in playoffs. It just makes the arena and the fans different for when you are playing the Stanley Cup Final for example. And bringing it back with some enhancement with the camera followed to the crowd making the towel power during full pressure or after a goal would be really sick. I just miss it since the nhl 19 where I would play in the full white Jets arena with the towel power and It felt like a real playoff game. Also, adding a series status under the scoreboard like NBA has for example would help a lot.Disconnects after winning rivals match and counts as lost
It's frustrating to win a match only to count as a lost . It was full time and it was going to the menu to see the results of the game only for me to disconnected and when I logged in it counted as a lost. This has been a recurring issue since last years game and I don't understand how you at EA have failed to resolve this issue that not just me but most in the community has been experiencing which is the usual poor service I guess.
NHL 25 BAP
when I create a be a pro player the roster is way off. I even made a custom roster for offline and it’s still not right. Furthermore, after a coach’s conversation I got promoted to the first line, the announcers, podcast everything is indicating that I should be on the first line but I’m still stuck on the second even after several games. I tried deleting and reinstalling the game but that did nothing.
