Changes for NHL 26 you want to see

Fully unlock player editing Would be a great addition. All other sports games have it. I play every game in franchise and being stuck w same attribute w players that pop off in real season is not realistic. It’s a single player mode and shouldn’t be a big deal. 

The game play for these games has severely deteriorated since 2016. I won’t get into the slew of issues with implementing overpowered things like the hip check and instead of correcting that, adding an overpowered and less realistic reverse hit option in which someone going full speed can do it, bury a guy, and the puck stays right there for him.

but the MOST fixable thing is, in world of chel, why when you let randoms play with your team, do they have the ability to troll and just pull the goalie non stop, adjust team settings, and waist your pause/time out. It’s absurd, these games suck.

The fact the 09 is SIGNIFICANTLY better that 25 is insane on so many levels. EA has been horrible with this game, Turing it into fortnight, making it less realistic, pre empting who wins by giving one team prime Hasek. reducing the impact that legitimate hockey iq has on the game. 

it cannot be doing that well in sales but then again, why change it, they have no competition and  don’t care about customers

You win that round friend

Now that I’ve overtaken all of Wayne’s records I kind of feel I should be considered a possible cover athlete for next year.. :)

I only play online versus and i would love to see more structure to it .  It seems like all the effort is put into the HUT and Chel.  I would like to see a system for tthe points recieved and lost , with bonus points for shutouts for example .  Im sure there are many good ideas for it , but also when getting matched maybe be able to see the opponents ranking so you or he could quit before one of the two gets mad because of the mosmatch .  

So do you mean like a different mode in general kind of thing? Not attacking your idea, just clarifying. Only asking because it almost (from my understanding of what you said) sounds like a combination of HUT and Be a Pro mode kind of thing. Am I getting that right or misunderstanding? I just can’t see matchmaking being done well without a full on online mode or a single player mode.  I can’t see how they could be combined without people taking advantage of the setup in one way or another. As we all are aware if there is any possible way to get an advantage there will be a huge playerbase doing so. Just look at the L1 glitch. Nearly (not all) top players are using it. Just watch some games on YouTube. 

Id also like to be able to challenge calls , offsides etc .  And get rid  of the broken glass every single game .  That doesnt happen often in the real world .  Also would like to see a fighting win loss stat .  Also there arent highsticking calls , or hand pass calls .  Its in the game it shoild be in the game ??

I agree there. I think it would need a weekly limit though or at least some form of limitation or people will start all having the exact same character build as one will always be the best and as we all know as gamers we flock to whatever is best for the most part (not saying everyone but we’ve all heard of cookie cutter builds)

No i mean online versus , but with some structure to it , points for your ranking explained at the very least and like i said more or less points for shutouts , quitting, hattricks , fighting win loss record would be awesome .  

No i mean some structure explained at tthe very least of how the point system works and more in depth for example getting more less points for shutouts , quitting , not quitting , hattricks etc , and fighting win loss stats would be awesome
