    You spent $80 off of a trailer with no substance. You are the reason this game sucks

  • Won't be purchasing this or any other future release whilst the current dev team have anything to do with the game. Every year since these devs have been involved the game has drastically gone downhill. 

    I stopped playing 25 months ago for my own sanity.  Easily the worst NHL game I've played and I've played every one of them going back 30+ years

    Pretty disappointing, as others have mentioned. First year in a while I won’t be buying the game at launch. Maybe I’ll pick up a cheaper Black Friday sale, or maybe not at all. I’ve been a defender of the past few years’ iterations, but lost interest in 25 months ago, and can’t continue to defend the same rehashed glitchy/buggy mess year after year. It’s a shame, as the boys and I had some fun times in recent years playing EASHL club games and whatnot, but a terribly executed game caused us all to lose interest in the franchise, and it seems like 26 will be more of the same. 

  • Will there be a significant update to menu speeds this year?

    The team is well aware of the feedback we've had on menu speed in recent years. They're always working to improve them.

    EA_Aljo​  I've played NHL games since 94 and there's only been a few editions of the game that I've missed. I appreciate your dev team will have worked hard on the game, but it feels incredibly underwhelming this year. 

    Why is it Be A Pro from NHL 12 had arguably more depth? Just give the game some love and make it fun. Obviously the introduction of monetised game modes has become crucial to EA since then, but I still think NHL 94 is more fun to play. Don't understand why you just don't bold on an online NHL retro version of game play. Such a shame to see what was truly a great sports game in such a state.
