Gameplay wishes for NHL 27

Please work on:

-teammate AI in BAP: especially Break Outs and Play under pressure -- faster decisionmaking 

-hard passes in thigth areas to be more realistic (interceptions and deflections)

-reduction of the ability of D-men to catch every high dump Pass regardless of positioning to the pass 

-AI goalies stickchecking when deking the goalie in thight

I have already put some 100 hours into the game and I like it very much just the AI in BAP is sometimes frustrating.

    This is my wish list for NHL 27 mostly for the be a pro mode.

    1. Add a playable Allstar Game.
    2.  Add what injuries happened to your teammate's players and you and how long the injury is going to last.
    3. Add who got traded on your team and who your team got in return.
    4. Add pre-game interviews before Playoff games, add post-game interviews after playoff games, also in World juniors and Memorial cup.
    5. Add the ability to be able to play any NHL player in your be a pro.
    6. Make it a big deal when your be a pro breaks some records or gets close to breaking some records, like most goals in a season, most points, most goals by a rookie, most points by a rookie, most checks, most fights, most block shots and so on.
    7.  Add the ability for the coach to interact with you like asking if you can play left or right-wing defense as a left or right wing forward on the powerplay, ask if you can be on the penalty kill, extra attacker and on and on. 
    8. Let us play after the whistle like shoving and fights like in real hockey.
    9.  Give us the ability to interact with fans like signing autographs to ball caps, jerseys, hockey sticks, pucks and stuff like that.
    10.  Please bring back playing a full season in the minor leagues.

     

    This is all I can think of that would add more immersion to the be a pro experience.

  • I'm still waiting for icon defensive switching. Offense got it with icon passing, so why not give it to defense? As a software engineer, I think it's safe to assume that the logic is almost exactly the same. It's just a matter of: when holding down R2 without the puck, the same icon overlay that you get when carrying the puck appears. Then, selecting an icon will switch you to that player. Obviously, this wouldn't apply in player-locked modes.

    It's so simple that there must be some other motive or reason why the devs refuse to add this mechanic. Do they think playing defense will be too effective? I don't get it.

    A new Dev Team... 🤷‍♂️.  Let someone else in Ea make it.

  • Please bring back 2k sports version so that ea have some competition.  If not then do not try and update any modes concentrate on the gameplay for every mode so we have ALL penalties in the game taken by cpu as well as humans,  coaches challenge and cpu opposition better powerless, face off throw outs, jostling after the whistle,  I just want a game that feels like a real simulation of ice hockey not a load of goons flying around fest hot shambles that 26 is

    They tried and it broke the game so they just gave up on it.

    It should already be easy to select the player you want by holding in R2 and flicking the stick in the direction of the player you want to control. You can also hold down RT/R2 then click down on the right stick. Regardless, I'll pass on the request. Thanks!
