NHL 26 FRANCHISE MODE RIGGED GAMES

THE FORGOTTEN GAME MODE

FRANCHISE MODE

Playing against the computer now days is so incredibly boring, I've restarted the same game 3 times.

GAME 1: I could barely get into their zone because they hit me and took the puck off me with their "sticky sticks", I lost 5-1 with 23-32 in shots… also had more time in their zone.

Got mad and tuned off the game and start over again cuz i wanted to win.

GAME 2: 3-0 to me in fisrt period then the computer start doing **bleep** goals that no goalie schould let in EVER!!!! third goal with 15 seconds left of the period and i lost in overtime.

GAME 3: Hardly any hits, I could drive past them easily, easy to score, of course they had to score two bad goals. anyway 7-2 to me.

 

YES KIDS i know ”lack of skills” ”blah blah blah” i know i am not very good and i play between 2-6 games per season on PRO, but isn’t this very clear and obvious that the computer decides who will win?

 

I also noticed it with sim, my team played pretty well but after deadline my team lost 14 games in a row, same here I got mad and just turned off the console, the next time I played my team won 11 of those games.

I didn't make any trades or changes during the deadline because they played really well.

 

Goalies can often have really good save % like 92/93 until the deadline, after that they often drop to 90/91

 

When you start a 33 expansion and build a garbage team just to manage to get high draft picks, they often go to the finals, then you build a good team with good line chemistry.... WELL then you have the worst season in hockey history 🤦‍♂️

 

and if your team plays well the first season and you think you're going to continue next season with the EXACTLY same line up.... nope forget it, even if the players' total is better, season two won't work.

 

Maybe I'm completely stupid and don't understand franchise mode at all even though I've been playing it for 10 years, or has EA completely ruined the game?

  • Meanwhile I do an expansion draft, win all games I sim or play on hardest settings, the first season. It's so easy. The worst part is the gameplay, the CPU can't defend. You can have players with 90+ speed and the CPU will have no chance. At all...

    @slickster. Regarding the game being revenue based. Your right on. If they could. I honestly believe they would make packs available by cash only. As well as eliminate offline play, focusing more on the kick back they get from Sony and Microsoft for the online purchases. The days of competition are over. They now rule the NHL gaming market. And at the cost of us buying games that continially orientate problems.
