Not anymore! For the first time in 27 years, I’m not buying the NHL series. NHL 26 is full of errors, bugs, and ridiculous AI. It’s the worst game I’ve ever played! (I play a lot of online WOC) I’m disappointed!
I played the trial and had enough to decided to pass. It just felt off. They don’t even try with franchise mode. Same lame logos for the last 8 years. You have the savanna h ghost pirates logo but don’t have the city or team name for audio!? That’s just one example. Franchise is cut and paste.
Without a doubt the most boring franchise mode in 7 years…. the computer decides how the games will end, the game play is just boring my AI can't take a pass for a breakawy without stopping, never a rebound for my team but the computer always has a rebound goal. The computer never misses a hit, blocks 90% of your shots and passes (with the tip of the stick, but when you try to block the puck goes right through you. Every game has to end like a Mighty Ducks movie with a goal at the last second. Sim doesn't work either, your team can lose 14 games in a row for no reason, if you turn off the game without saving your team can win all of those 14 games. it's a forgotten game mode.
BAP was perfekt 5 years ago, you could play 3 season in junior league or a full season in Europe. Now you join the show as a 16 year old kid, some games ends 3-3 but you lose and other games ends 3-4 and it goes to overtime.
