Language?

How do I change the language? I dont want it as my country/region cause the translations are so bad. Can I switch it to english?

    I hope we can select game language from settings. I don’t want to use my console language.

  • sorry, but this is an absolutely incomprehensible decision to remove the option to set your language from the game.

      It was VERY unrealistic to have swedish text on the boards in the rink but it was very easy to change the language to english just go to system in the setting for your console and change the language.Now the game is in english again and the text on the boards is what they should on a american game.

        Do you have metrics when you use it? cm for lenght and Kg for weight?
        I took England UK but the **bleep** brittish use both Metric and imperial so of course EA took imperial. And I dont want to play with swedish just to get metric.... :(
        There is different options for english on the console. so I maybe have to try the others ones, because US and UK have imperial....

    Me too... again something forced on us that no one asked for.... and no options to choose what you want in the game...
    At least I could fix it outside the game...

  • Finnish translations are SO BAD that they make me sick. English has been my in game language for many years and now you do stupid things like this? The "genious" behind this should get fired asap.

    EA, please make us select the language again. I agree with everyone else that languages other than English are weird and unusual to read. At the same time, I don't need my whole console to be in English.

    Instead of truly improving the game, you just keep doing such unnecessary changes that nobody asked for and only make the game worse: either removing good things (like this), or adding awful features, such as the pressure meter.

    I call it the iPhone syndrome: it's typical American to patronize the customers and give them as little individual choice as possible.

    Hello. The language is set to the language your console is using.

      May I asked why this was changed when it was perfect for the last 20 years?

      But it seems that not everywhere. The language of my console is Polish, and the game is displayed in English anyway. In addition, players' measurements are imperialistic. When I change the console language to English, the game is of course still in English, but the measurements are metric.

      OK, and please, where in the game can I change it manually? Because my console language is set to Slovak, and the game was put into English. Of course, for years in the NHL, as in many other games, I use Czech, as they are very, very similar languages.

        The only way is to change your console language to Czech (before launching the game).

  • Nobody has be able to change the language yet ?
    Its makes me crazy when it is in Swedish :)
