Changes for NHL 26 you want to see

And 2 more from my side: 

• Why can´t we change goalies during online games? Since contracts aren´t needed anymore, we should be able to change goalies
• Full video recording of every completed online game where energy levels are shown and a comparison of the rosters

BAP:  don't just simulate the weekly training, have a mini game set up.  Have the Winter Classic, Olympic games, and All-Star game be playable. Contract negotiations should be available too. Team preference and salary desire and it could include bonus stipulations (50+ goals gets you an extra 100 grand etc ).  Bring back Skill stick 

Thanks for the feedback. One thing though. Skill stick was never removed. That control layout is still available.

I´d like to have these things I am waiting for years to be fixed: 

1. During online play: keep line strategy etc. boxes in front, don´t cover them with trailers etc.
2. Line strategy boxes in general: Ever looked on white points on white ice and tried to get the right settings? In my country there is a joke about these colour-fault: It´s to have a national flag whith an white eagle on a white ground...
3. Auction house: Ever searched a specific goalie mask? No chance to filter by country, leaugue... Scrolling through hundreds of masks to find the right one. And not to mention, that the cards don´t have anx descriptions from which team they are

I do like the idea of the mini game but I think it would merely be cool at first then something everyone would skip or be mad that they couldn’t skip. 

And a few more wishes from my side: 

• puck covering: IMO this should be nerfed, because it´s nearly impossible to knock the player off the puck. Maybe I am the only one who has got this problem
• rushes: players coming from the bench just sprint to their position, even the opponent is on the rush and a player passes nearby...
  Wouldn´t it be more possible, that my player would try to catch the opponent?

EASHL

Biggest change I would like to see is that the pre builds be locked to only being used in drop-ins. 

Not being able to compete against us that take the time to dable with making our own in the club games. 

This would be a great way to support the community of players that enjoy playing club games.

Hey Aljo, me again, I’m on the side of wanting the developers to have time to work on making meaningful updates/changes to the game, so if that means no winter classic, that’s fine by me. However, if an issue is having the arena and assets being under-utilized, why not put those assets in other parts of the game? Even from a business perspective, you could have that rink be a paid rink for people to use as their home rink for HUT and EASHL games. Letting players pay real money (and in game currency) for rinks (or other cosmetics that aren’t obnoxious and don’t effect gameplay) would be a great in my opinion.

What kind of cosmetics would you like to see added?

For EASHL: rinks (rinks would be the coolest thing), AI teammate name/faces/skating and shooting style/celebrations, fan outfits, coach outfits. 

But I’d say gameplay additions like how your AI teammates play, where they should position themselves, how cautious they are, and being able to tell them where to shoot and not just when to shoot should be implemented before more hours are put into cosmetics.
