I'm not sure anyone would have anything good to say. They didnt show much. The trailer could have been made for 25 and I'd have had no idea. That being said, I'm sure they have more to announce. The trailer is always bare bones. Hoping they made some big updates when they start their deep dives. This year I'll be deployed for second half the game's life so I won't be as upset about it falling short of expectations but it would be nice to see a step in the right direction. Revamped BaP, ideally it works along side WoC like some other games but we will see. Connected franchise was teased 4-5 years ago as a multi-year project, maybe that's done cooking? I've read that HUT has a salary cap, if done right that could be a huge W. Of course if they start creating 95 ovr players with low salary cap defeating the purpose of the cap and creating an even bigger division of players it could be bad. Time will tell. Unimpressed, still somewhat hopeful, not confident we will see any of the changes we want.

Let's hope so because the current list of 'features' feels like a kick in the gut: https://www.ea.com/games/nhl/nhl-26/features

Can't imagine they'd pass up an opportunity to announce this during the initial hype rollout.
Yeah, I'm trying to be optimistic but that was a REALLY poor showing if that's the main features.
All 4 "features" are essentially nothing.
Ice-q 2.0.. a long winded way of saying they added some stats that not many will care a whole lot about.. a cool feature, but nothing that should be on the back of a cover.
X factors... were any added? That seems like exactly what we had before, no?
Be a pro "updates" I hope this means fully Revamped.. "rookie to superstar" before it was minors to superstar.. Hopefully this is more than minor upgrades.. I know College football allows you to look around the stadium, I'm assuming this is one thing being added to the mode.. Hopefully this isnt one of the updates they're talking about and its not just a couple small ports from CFL.
HUT seasons.. i dont play any HUT.. weren't there seasons before?
