Missing locations in location list.

EA_Aljo​ 

Thank you EA Sports for finally adding Riga, Vantaa, and Västerås as new cities to the location list. It's also nice that EA Sports added some cities from South Korea to NHL 24. But still, many cities around the world are missing from the location list.understand that EA Sports can't add every city in the world to the game, but it would be nice if EA Sports could add these cities to the location list in future updates.

Öskemen, Kazakhstan
  •  Öskemen, which is also known as Ust-Kamenogorsk is city in Kazakhstan. You could say that Öskemen is the heart of Kazakhstani hockey. Five Kazakhstani players have played in the NHL, all of whom were born in Öskemen. In addition to them, two Russian goaltenders, Yevgeny Nabokov and Anton Khudobin, and German goaltender Dimitri Patzold were born in Öskemen. Would be nice see Öskemen and  capital city of Kazakhstan Astana in the location list. 


Gävle, Karlstad, Örnsköldsvik and Ängelholm, Sweden
  • These four swedish city is missing from location list. If you are using the Swedish version of NHL 26, you will find Gävle, Karlstad, and Örsköldsvik in the location list. In the other language versions these  cities has been replaced by name Brynäs, Färjestads and Modo.
 
  •   Ängelholm is the hometown of Rögle BK. Rögle BK has been playing in the SHL since the 2015-16     season, but Ängelholm is still not on the location list. For example all Liiga teams hometowns will   be  found from there. For example we have there all DEL teams hometown and in addition few     other cities from Germany.
Hradec Králové, Czechia
  • Why Hradec Králové isn't found in the location list ? All other Czech Extraliga  teams hometown will be found in the location list, but Hradec Králové isn't be there. Also location list inclued other cities from Czechia.

    Thanks for the feedback on this. I'll pass it on.

  • EA_Aljo​ 

    I'm trying to clearly explain here what changes we need in NHL 27, concerning the locations and place of origin lists.

    LOCATIONS LIST

    • First, Gävle, Karlstad, and Örnsköldsvik are found in the locations list if you choose Swedish as the game language. In other language versions, Gävle, Karlstad, and Örnsköldsvik have been replaced by Brynäs, Färjestad, and Modo. Rögle BK's hometown Ängelholm is not found on the locations list, even though Rögle BK has played in the SHL continuously since the 2015-16 season. The hometowns of other SHL teams are found on the locations list. Why has Ängelholm not been added to the locations list? In addition, a few Swedish cities are misspelled. For example, Skellefteå is written as Skellefteå AIK if you choose Finnish as the game language.

       

      There is a similar problem with the Czech Republic, all other hometowns of Czech Extraliga teams are found on the locations list, but Hradec Králové is missing.

       

      We have a comprehensive selection of cities in the locations list, but some new cities should be added to the locations list, here is a list of cities that should be added.

    • Finland: Iisalmi, Imatra, Joensuu, Rovaniemi and Savonlinna
    • Sweden: Gävle, Karlstad, Örnsköldsvik  and Ängelholm
    • Norway: Hamar and Oslo
    • Denmark: Esbjerg and Herning
    • Czechia: Hradec Králové 
    • Slovakia: Banská Bystric, Košice Nitra, and Trenčín
    • Kazakhstan: Astana, Almaty and Oskemen (Ust-Kamenogorsk)
    • Belarus: Minsk
    • Ukraine: Kyiv
    • Russia: Sochi, Vladivostok and Yekaterinburg
    • China: Harbin and Shenzhen
    • UK: Belfast and Cardiff 
    • Baltic States: Tallinn and Vilnius
    • Austria: Graz, Linz and Salzburg
    • Asia: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Tashkent, Ulaanbaatar and Pyongyang

    The list of place of origin also needs an update. Here are some countries and regions that should be added to the place of origin list:

    • Bulgaria, Great Britain, Wales, Mongolia, UAE,  Hong Kong, Uzbekistan

    It would be good if in the future all countries in the place of origin list, US states, Canadian provinces and territories, and the UK regions of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales were found in both the locations list and the place of origin list.

     

    Currently, all US states and Canadian provinces and territories are found in the place of origin list, but Arkansas and the Northwest Territories are missing from the locations list.

    Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

  • Why do we need Yekaterinburg in the locations list? Yekaterinburg is the fourth-largest city in Russia. In addition, Yekaterinburg is the birthplace of Alexei Yashin, Nikolai Khabibulin, and Pavel Datsyuk
