How am I suppose to get 75 form score?

Im on the 4th line, getting 4 presence per game… This form score system expect you to score every game to go up… with 4 presence how am I supposed to do it?!

  • Completely agree,

    On BAP last night I was playing 4th line for the flyers after promotion from AHL. In my 8 games (16-24) I had two I did not play, 1 where I played 35s ice time (not real time where i got form rating 37%) and only one game where I had more than one shift (3 total where I had 1G 1A) if you need to average 75 form for the 8 games it's just not possible. Fortunatly (or not) I did not get sent back to AHL but now forced to do the same impossible challenge, ended up turning off the game and back to NBA 2k26 which minus the microtranctions in my mind is the gold standard for career mode games.

    I may be wrong but looking at the form requirements listed by EA on another thread my gut feeling is the formula is written for Football (Soccer) and been copied from EA FC and added to Nhl 26 with out considering the fundamental difference of multi line nature of ice hockey.

    EA please get rid of this and focus on coach feedback and progressive line promotions and not 8 game chapters, it's nonsensical and unrealistic

    Just change be a pro game setting to the classic and choose period length on your own. This means that you will see the whole game even when you are on bench. This way you’re not simming any of time but you will get more time on ice. It’s more fun and realistic way to play.

    it really doesn't matter how long the periods are. if your on offense and don't score, your AI teammates will allow the other AI to steal the puck and score while your player is on the ice, killing your defensive score plus not scoring means form score plummets. then if you have a defenseman and don't score, but get a B or higher in overall coaches score, your form score plummets still. it's a no win scenario unless you score at least 1-2 goals, have at least 2 points, and are above in +/- EVERY GAME which is unrealistic. I think the only thing this recent patch did was kinda help with the health/fatigue and a microscopic reduction for the form score but it still is very very heavy on scoring goals and points
