An idea to enhance be a pro in Nhl 26.

Hey EA, my name is zach, and i’m an avid nhl gamer, i’ve been thinking about ways to make Be A Pro more immersive and have some exciting ideas i would love to share.

I would really enjoy bringing back the minors season and you could improve your stats.

One of my needs for be a pro i would love to see international tournaments where you could play in the world juniors to get your rank in the draft higher, the olympics and the four nations, these would be sick and definitely make me want to play more be a pro.

All Star Weekend would be amazing in Be A Pro. Participate in the games, and competitions like fastest skater, hardest shot, accuracy shooting, and shootout competition! 

Winter Classic would be sick, where you have a slight chance every season to play in the winter classic and you can make new custom clothing options like pit vipers, and a winter hat, and maybe even face paint. Also a heritage classic would be sick and add special animations.

AHL and ECHL development path to make your way to the Nhl, where you can play seasons in the ECHL or AHL to your journey to the Nhl (optional).

An optional start to your career where you play an entire season in the CHL to try and get your team to the memorial cup.

Add Optional training sessions that you can play! Examples include 1v1 battles, power play practice, shootout training, penalty kill training, breakouts, and drills that you can play! it would be amazing.

If your team is out of playoff contention or your team is barely winning, you should be able to showcase yourself for potential trades at the trade deadline where you could play “audition” games to see scouts from other teams to evaluate your performance.

At the end of the season you should be able to attend a virtual awards ceremony where you could win awards. includes cutscene for acceptance, and fan reactions.

Finally Expansion Draft and relocation challenges. If your part of an existing team during expansion year, there’s a chance you could be left unprotected, and drafted by a new franchise. Alternatively, experience challenges as a player in a relocated teams, new fans and fresh markets. And finally don’t forget to change the opening cutscene hahah.

Thank you so much and i would love to see these ideas come to life.

  • I too would love the development again. I miss playing a full year in juniors and starting in the NEXT season. Possibly playing in AHL/ juniors too. I wish there was something like NBA2K where you can go from the locker room to the ice for warmups (1 minute) before the game starts. If 1 minute is too long for people, give them a button to hold to skip. The warmups let you be immersive and feel apart of the team. Being able to have actual relationships with players and not just “hey when we go to Boston for this road trip, we should go catch a game at Fenway” and it’s the middle of January.
