EA_Aljo This is a bit concerning overall by the Dev team(with relating to the no penalty calls in offline play - franchise, season, etc)
The reason why this is concerning; this issue started out in NHL 25 as well (no penalties being called at its launch), the same wording was given and id say halfway through or more of NHL 25's life spam it has been put in a better place with patches.
This leads me guess that when the Dev team starts to work on the upcoming game - using an old build of the game + old code and none of the patches are added in what so ever. It seems a bit redundant as all this does it use time and assets to fix/tune it again for a 2nd year in a row.... thus taking time away from resolving other issues that persist.
What sort of view does this portray to the community that even after an issue is "resolved" its not actually resolved as it will just happen in the following year cause of the lack of adding patches to the game creation process?
