NHL 26 WISHLIST

I'm a big fan of the games and am a Be A Pro merchant. I've played the last 10 NHL games, and have been wondering why it's so easy to become the captain in Be A Pro. The few things I want for NHL 26 Be A Pro are very simple:

  • NHL 19 mechanics where it took 3-4 seasons to get the A, and 2-3 seasons after that to get the C. 
    • Since then, you could pretty much immediately become captain after a single season in every Be A Pro. I would love to see them implement these mechanics into the next game. 
      • It not only gives you something to work towards, but also adds a level a realism to the game. 
  • Please give less dialogue in Be a Pro and make it easier to sim.
    • With so many random side missions and interactions, it makes it difficult to want to really grind the career and play for a while.
    • NHL 19 is a perfect example of what my ideal Be A Pro would look like.
  • Fix the Low, High, and Fixed camera angles to make them not spin in 360 degrees.
    • Why not just make it like the FIFA career camera?

    They already did that with 23 with limited patches and the glitch wrap going untouched all year. It amounted to nothing for 24.

  • EA_Aljo​ I really enjoy the no fatigue games in live events. Especially the recent one that went to 5 goals. I think this should be a game mode for next year instead of just having a couple times a month. I never had a hard time finding a match, a lot of people seem to like it. Maybe remove icing so it's just full tilt non stop action.

    Do you mean Eliminator? I believe that's always active and has been in the game for a few years now. We'll have to wait and see if it's returning in the future. We haven't made any announcements yet.

    Wishlist for the franchise mode: 

    Goalie coach category and not only head coach and assistant coach!

  • In WoC you should be able to kick or at least vote to kick player from your locker room. And I mean when playing with your own club.

    That wasn't a problem in previous games when we had a full team with friends but few of them decided to not buy this year game and now we fill our team with drop-in players. Some of them play really well but there is, for example, players who chose defenseman and their play style is to chase aggressively opponents puck carrier for a whole game and have no intention to participate to actual defensive play. Or take penalties on purpose for a whole game.

    I understand that game is supposed to be fun and other players might think that is fun style to play but that takes the fun part out of the game for a rest of us.

    I completely agree with you. I'd love to see an option for kicking players from your own club games. I'll pass on the feedback to the team. Thank you.

  • In be a pro, make the draft more difficult. Also if your drafted in the 3rd-4th round you should automatically be in the ahl/echl depending on if the ahl farm team needs you or the echl farm team needs you. And if you are on a team with no echl farm team then you’ll go to the ahl. And also make sure you stay till you improve or when you want to come back. Like the ask for a trade, there should be an option when you’re in the ahl to ask to get called up to the nhl, or ECHL to ahl. Depending on stats, the gm will then make the decision. Makes the game mode more fun and fresher. Ps: if I ever and I mean ever hear pricy pond hockey, I will delete the game and take it back and if they don’t give me all of my money back I will resell it on fb or ebay.

  • I'm hoping for new commentary. Like Chris Cuthbert making his EA Sports NHL debut and Craig Simpson making his triumphant return.
