National Anthems in CHEL

How do you enable national anthems in CHEL.

We have unlocked both PRO arenas and we can use the regular ice projections but the unlocked national anthems ice projections is not visible anywhere - under national anthems it just "NO ANTHEM" and the ones we have unlocked is not visible.

Is there any way to fix this?

I remember it was possible to use national anthems back in NHL 23 so what happened in NHL 24 and 25?

  • As I said, I have unlocked several anthems already, but they doesn't show up.
    It was the same in NHL 24

      Hi there. Can you get me a video or screenshots showing what is happening?

        Sure, it just looks like this under the category "National Anthems" although we have unlocked both Canada and Sweden from opening bags earlier.

        I don't have any video from that as proof that we have unlocked it as I unfortunately didn't save that, but also didn't think I would contact EA support regarding the issue - if I knew that I would do that I would have saved the video.

        "On Ice Projections" alternatives works perfectly fine though.

        In NHL 23 it was possible to use both "On Ice Projections" and "National Anthems" so it would vary between them during the in game intro on home ice.

        On NHL 24 and 25 it has not been possible at all to use National Anthems (same issue has ben present in both games - unlocked via opening from bags but not showing up as alternatives under "National Anthems").

        Have tried to choose the option "NO PROJECTIONS" "On Ice Projections" to see if it makes the national Anthems appear but that doesn't make any difference.

        I'm sure most clubs have this issue, so it would be easy to try if you had some test build yourselves where you can level up a club very fast and just open bags until you have a "Pro Arena" and also unlocked a "National Anthem" - it's just not showing up anywhere so can't use them at all.

        We have "Custom Branded Team" and are not using "Stock Branded Team" and I doubt that would make any difference at all since we didnt see a single team during our games on NHL 24 that had any National Anthem and we met several teams that had Stock Branded Team and was like prestige 2-3 leveled at least so they should most likely have gotten a national anthem from the bags you unlock as you level up.

        We have played both NHL 23 (on which it worked fine), NHL 24 and NHL 25 on PS5, but have met Xbox teams too so I doubt that would make a difference.

        However I don't know how this has been working on NHL 24 on PS4/Xbox One since I didn't play on that platform.

        Here is a screenshot from the option (it doesn't show much though as I can't prove that we have unlocked the anthems for both Canada and Sweden). But our club is Prestige 3 LVL 8 and we have played a lot of Threes Eliminator and opened tons of bags, also played the Live Events (the "sudden death" one where you unlock bags for the team and also the most recent one which was the "no rules, unlimited stamina one") where you also unlock 3 bags for the team.

         

        I hope this helps, because I'm sure this is a problem that many if not all has, just that they don't bother to report it to try to get it solved as it's not a "huge" issue (like the glitch-skating some people are using to gain turbo speed without basically losing any stamina - which is extremely annoying).
