Frustration over the be a pro health system. This is ridiculous.

I agree with you about really not using your speed burst unless absolutely necessary IF your D-men are where they are supposed to be BUT they are NOT 8 out of 10 times. I started out with a forward but got sick and tired of my D-men letting the other team shoot all day on my goalie without doing anything so I play defense and have to use 2 energy points after a game. reason being is I CANNOT play my position because I HAVE TO SCORE POINTS or my form score tanks which means I am using speed burst ALL THE TIME. and this is playing 6 minute periods. if they would stop the point factor AND stop gigging on every little thing, it would be a lot better

Leave it to EA to take something we’ve loved and had fun with for over a decade and ruin it with trying to use their brains and thinking,  and getting greedy over money. Now shooting yourselves in the foot in the long haul with all this cash grabbing. Just tanking your quality of work and reputation. We don’t care if the games look better than they did 10 years ago. The games 10 years ago were way funner than anything we have today. We’ll take the graphics cut if it means having quality fun games that aren’t about maximizing money on your end. Should be focused on maximizing the fun on our end and the money will follow. 

I’ve read over 1,000 game reviews for nhl 24 and nhl 25. Not a single one said anything about making the fatigue system more realistic. Leave it to EA to give us a game breaking mechanic literally no one asked for. 26 just got deleted and I’m redownloading 25. Rather play that over this crap. The logic is unreal. Let’s penalize you for trying to have fun on a fictitious player career. 

I don’t understand how people need three energy points per game to reclaim peak health. Most games I only need one with two needed every couple of games to get back into the peak range. I boosted my fatigue recovery slider up to 85 at the very beginning  of the NHL 26 cycle (I’d read it as a suggestion) and don’t use my speed boost non-stop during a game. For example,  irl forwards will get up to speed and then glide back to their defensive zone as long as they’re not completely behind the play and their own d-men are where they should be. I find it to be at least somewhat realistic in that regard. The form score is still a bit frustrating with the overemphasis on scoring, imo, but that’s another discussion.

In the beginning, before you really start your NHL career, there is a great opportunity to click Advance and get energy points.  However, those same points are used to elevate your player in skating, shooting, passing, etc.  You use them up quickly each week.  Yet, when the NHL season starts, you get 6 points per week, but perhaps play three or four games.  Using 3 points per game, you are stuck health wise unless you don't want to use your points for upgrading your player.

I totally get your frustration! Some of these “be a pro” or automated health systems can feel more annoying than helpful, especially if they keep popping up when you don’t need them. An option to turn it off would make a huge difference — it should definitely be up to the user whether they want these features active.

Agree. I like almost everything about the new BAP except for the health system, which is so unfun that I haven't played in days. I just want to play the game, not play 3 periods terrified of sprinting or getting hit and keeping an eagle eye on my shift time. Just let me play the game.

I actually think the health system could be really cool if they just tweaked it a bit. Give us more energy per week, make each energy restore more health, make us lose less health per game, make us passively get more health back, there are a ton of solutions that are minor tweaks at best that would solve the problem entirely.

Yeah, overall the Be A Pro has some good points, but the health system ends up ruining the experience.  I spend everything on health, and I still don't have full.  It's making me sorry I bought the game.

Not a exploit, it is how you play the game? I mean you get some new ones every week but when you have 2-3 games on a week and you get negative exp for being tired...well its **bleep**ed up. Especially since those energy points are also meant to be used to get trait points and x-factor points. Something you wont spend them on except during offseason since you have to use them all to keep your player healthy. And its just weird that with 99 durability at the start and then already taking all the endurance traits (or all except one dont fully remember as of writing) so do you still end up dead tired after a game. 

I haven't played the game yet but by watching some Youtube videos there seems to be an exploit by clicking advance a day a few times to get more energy in between games. Seen a guy doing that quite often to get his energy back and get extra trait points.
