FIX THE HDR

 in game issues that are making the game unplayable 

Like what? I played 3 or 4 OVP games, no issues. Hopped on later to play WoC with my buddies and again, zero problems. Game was completely playable. We got our butts kicked, but nothing at all indicated we were unable to actually play the game.

I had similar issues before upgrading my TV; Sometimes a refresh/recalibration is all you need too

You released the game about two weeks ago, you’ve put out two updates and haven’t fixed any of the  in game issues that are making the game unplayable 

How os it every year the game is released it takes months to fix bugs and issues that make the game highly unenjoyable to play. You’re too focused on micro transactions and modes of profitability. Focus on the core game. Why are the bugs reset every single year. Make a good core game and build off that. Start with NHL 14, seems to be the last year you out some effort into the actual on ice game  

. The in game HDR is dark, washed out, lacks ice details. It’s decent in the in game menus, colours pop but something is definitely off compared to last gear in game.For example the small logos in each end last year would pop, even though the green health bars in HDR are super washed out. If you take off HDR 10 in the xbox settings the green bars will pop bright green but the ice details are completely gone and the contrast is out of whack. I have a high end OLED perfectly calibrated. All other games look amazing. This game looks like trash in HDR while playing in game. 

I’m sure properly integrating HDR is far down on the list of things to fix in this broken game by the sounds of it. 

My advice to EASports - Take a few years off. This game is absolutely laughable now. Been playing since the 90’s. NHL 26, and back to NHL 14 is  money grab. Maybe the reality is your game engine is not suited to make this game what it can be on next generation consoles or you need to seriously recalibrate (no pun intended)  your priorities and business model for NhL 26. I don’t care about micro transactions or ridiculous  Xfactors and enhanced presentation and all this other rhetoric - We want a core game thats fun, not broken. I want to poke-check properly, i want smart AI, no endless game glitches and whatever else of the 100 things broken in the core gameplay fixed. I want a properly integrated HDR game and not be gaslit thats its my tv lol  

The HDR in game is not the same quality as last year, details missing on ice such as skating marks, you guys have not integrated the HDR properly so just admit it and fix it . How is this game even worse than last year and last year was really bad. C’mon guys. 

I am well aware how to calibrate my television 

I'm not seeing other reports of this. We have a huge amount of the playerbase using HDR, myself included. The best I can recommend is to check all the settings and calibrate HDR. You also should try swapping out the HDMI cable.
