What is form score and why does it outweigh goal scoring and winning games? For what reason would a coach demote their leading goal scorer? What does this form score nonsense have anything to do with real hockey? This doesn't even get into the fact that the AI is completely backwards. Your AI teammates are working as soft opposition in this game. Constantly hiding behind checks and only passing at the least opportune moment. The game mode was bad, Ea has gone in and turn bad into utterly unplayable. Are they aware of this? Are they busy patting themselves on the back for actually doing something to realize what they have done is a disaster?

all of that should have been done before you released the game. did you include in your trailer the fact that the game wasn't tested and we would have wait around and hope that it would be fixed at some point

Have mostly simmed through 2.5 seasons and upgraded my trait points and X factors to the point I am an 86 OVR LW sniper, but I am forever stuck on the 4th line. The reason I have started simming is because when I sim a game I tend to average ~8 minutes of ice time. If I play a game, even if I score in the game I average 4-6 minutes. Thanks for making the only game mode I play on a regular basis completely unplayable

EA does NOT care. everyone is complaining about the form score (me included) but what has been going on for YEARS now is the way they punish the player for the AI teammates mistakes. here are 3 videos from a game that I just got done.1rst and 2nd video) how come NO ONE came to help me while I was PINNED AGAINST THE BOARDS. the AI teammate that I HELPED just leaves me. then the other team gets the puck, goes down and scores AND I GET A MISSED ASSIGNEMENT!?!?!?!?! WTH.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLCyxm3DE7khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ClrH5ELuYlast video) I go down and block a shot, the puck goes right back to the guy who just shot, and because EA decides how long it takes to get back up from blocking a shot, he shoots AROUND ME and scores AND I GET ANOTHER MISSED ASSIGNEMENT!?!?!?!?!?!. if that was anyone's fault it was 62 for stupidly going sideways before trying to hit the shooter but nope, always the players faulthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l4cpTmjeHwplease for the love of Almighty God fix this. I get more pissed off because of being gigged for things I can't control than ANYTHING.and there was another update from 1.012.000 to 1.013.000 but I can't find what the update was about. don't see any new update news on the EA main nhl26 website, yet

Why weren’t they investigated before you guys marketed an experience that’s “more immersive than ever”?

We are currently investigating issues with Be a Pro. We'll have to see what the next update addresses.

Be A Pro is broken and EA doesn't understand this or doesn't care.

oookk. this is not to you but that's freaking stupid. you should get MORE if your tired no the other way around. plus I just got an update for the game (1.014.000) but can't find out what's it about. anyone know?
edit: never mind I found the post about the update and of course it's for the online people. just screw the offline players who spend the same amount of money for the game

I’ve seen it fluctuate between the two since release. I have no idea how the game determines which it’s going to be. I read that some players have claimed amounts up to 9 but I’ve never received more than 6.

I’m hoping, and I could be way off, that since the BAP was their much touted improved mode this year (ahem) they’ll revisit it in an effort to make it at least playable.

This is something that’s happened the last several years and happened this morning: I just step on the ice after simming to my shift and the puck is already deep in my our zone. This is not my fault, of course. I take two strides towards the action and they score on us. Naturally, I get “bad line defense.” That sucks.

I am going to harp on this until they fix this crap. why do I lose 7% defense when I was where I was supposed to be? I have a 3 on 1 because my stupid AI teammate decides to pass it up with a defender right in the path instead of just taking it up. so I got a 3 on 1 because also my other Dman can't keep up to the puck handler. my point is JUST BECAUSE YOU GET SCORED ON DOES NOT MEAN YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG. please get rid of that. if anyone should be gigged is kakko for giving it up like that and maybe the other Dman for getting out of position but NOT ME.

and why 7%? usually for a "bad line defense" you get 1% for 1 goal. so that tells me it's saying I did something else wrong. bull
