NHL 26 Be A Pro starting directly in NHL season

Hi!

I've been a regular NHL player since NHL 17 and I've always played the Be A Pro mode, starting directly in the NHL and choosing the team I wanted to play each year, but I've found that in this NHL it's not possible.

Am I doing something wrong or have they changed it and it's no longer possible?

Thanks and regards.

  • Hi there. You need to get drafted first. Then when you start a new career, you'll be able to start directly in the NHL.

    Hi there. You need to get drafted first. Then when you start a new career, you'll be able to start directly in the NHL.

  • In the draft you are asked where you would like to play, choose a division and then in the next step a team, you will be assigned there. This happened to me 6 times in the tests.

  • Indeed, when create a new Be A Pro and simulating until after the NHL Draft and saving before starting the preseason, when create another Be A Pro after, it lets me start directly in the NHL and choosing the team I want, but I had to waste 20 minutes to get to the same point where you started in previous years (NHL 25).

    Why was it done this time? Wouldn't it make more sense to let me directly start in the NHL without having to waste 20 minutes of play simulating something that I'm not going to play to have to unlock it later and also have it be a copy and paste from last release game NHL 25? 

    It's just a suggestion, since this can be frustrating for both veteran players in the franchise like me and new players and can be compatible with players who want to start in the other ways and play seasons in the minor leagues until reaching the NHL through the Draft.

    Thanks EA_Aljo for solving my problem. I only play NHL through Be A Pro and if I hadn't been able to play I would have asked for a refund for the game.

    Regards!

    Yes, I think it should be possible to play Be a pro as an undrafted player, in which case sending him to the AHL at the beginning would also make sense... Unlike the 1st pick in the draft. So start from your own choose team is very welcome.
