NHL 26 Feedback and Rating

Hello EA Sports NHL Team,

As a long-time player, I would like to see the NHL penalty and review system significantly expanded. Currently, important penalty types and video review situations that are standard in real-life ice hockey are still missing. It would also be great if the German leagues were more fully integrated.

Specifically, I would like:

Complete recognition of all penalties: e.g., spearing, butt-ending, knee check/clipping, headbutting, insulting the referee/unsportsmanlike conduct, player in the goal crease, handpassing, etc., all variations of major and misconduct penalties.

Expanded video review: more "no-goal" situations (kick motion, hand goal, goal crease offside, intentional goal movement, etc.), better referee logic, and visible hand signals/calls after review.

More authenticity in penalties, including double minor penalties, match penalties, and game misconduct penalties. 

Integration of DEL2 and Oberliga with original teams, uniforms, arenas, and franchise support.

These additions would make NHL even more realistic and more appealing to fans of international leagues.

Thank you for continuing to work on the gameplay – many in the community would be delighted to see these features!
