NHL 26 - the worst version of the game ever!!!

Developers, do you care about players at all? Stop thinking about how to make more money. Players leave this game en masse, e-sportsmen get bored, because the game has turned into the same type of matches. Make new mechanics, work on the gameplay, don't try to earn all the money in this world! Your studios are already closing one by one. Soon the one that does the NHL will close, because there will be no players.

It's a pity that you brought the game to the point that no one wants to play it. Please quit

It's a pity that I spent money on this garbage, I won't repeat such a mistake again

    I won't buy the next one until I see that it has changed (which I guess I'll be long gone before that). they keep saying "post videos" but that doesn't make a difference because nothing gets changed. I've posted tons of videos since launch but nothing except a little in the form score but it was not enough. I'm just so tired of having to score a goal or 2 (or more) assists just to get a good form score, as a defenseman. but that's not the worst part. I'm more sick and tired of my AI teammates not doing what their supposed to do and I get gigged on it. if my teammates, like the other team does by the way, would get in front of the puck carrier or check or poke check, I might be able to play my position. we were on a penalty kill and I went to the side boards to try and get the puck but my center just had to stay in his "position" and left a man wide open in front of my goalie and of course they scored. at first I thought he was going to cover him but he stopped and went back. who in their right mind will leave a guy wide open dead center in front of your goalie, no one. just frustrated.

    I don't really like the options that you're describing either, but I believe that it's the way it handles the players position which is what they are doing when you're no longer controlling a that player after switching to a different player. However, if I'm incorrect please do not hesitate to post the proper explanation.

    I don't switch, I play BaP only so I'm only in control of one player, me. they MUST change that the form score goes by the position you are playing. yes forwards should have to score goals and assists but even a two way defenseman should not have to get a 70 in offense and only a 55 or 60 in defense in the coaches score. the whole form score is based on weather you score points which is wrong. that means if you have to score EVERY GAME then 9 out of 10 times you will win the game. I say this because I scored a goal and got a B+ in overall coaches score and STILL only got a 88 in form score for that game. they never even scored a goal while I was on the ice. I got that because it was a tough game and had a hard time getting hits but had a 88% in defense. I should not have any higher that a 60 in offense as a defenseman. also if I don't score a point in a game, I still should get no less than a 95 for the game because if they do NOT score while I'm on the ice and we play most of the time in the offensive zone while I'm on the ice then I did my job. but no matter what position you play, you SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO GET 65 TO 65% IN FORM SCORE. I'm on the top pairing and have to maintain a 75 form score. that means I have to get a form score of at least 75 EVERY GAME to hold to 75 chapter score. so say I have a bad game and don't score a point but still have high coaches score, the form score for that game will only be probably around 60 or so. yes you could have a really great game to make that up but if you play your position you will not because it also goes back to the fact that they amp up the other team, especially the goalie. I played a game on ROOKIE and out of 3 six min periods we only scored 4 goals and I didn't score at all and we had around 40 shots? that a load of crap. I'm not the greatest player but come on. I was still green in all aspects of the coaches score but I was getting hit a lot and had a lot of shots blocked, and that goes to say I wish MY teammates would get in front of the shooter and block shots. I am literally the only one to block shots. the AI MAY block one in 3 games. they usually just skate away and let them shoot. I posted in another thread a video and someone asked me what my sliders were because my team had over 40 shots for the game. now I play 6 min periods so yep that's a lot but out of that 40 or so shots I only had about 5-8. the rest was my teammates.
