NHL 26 Trailer - Pros and Cons

I just watched the NHL 26 trailer, it kind of looks like a copy and paste from NHL 25. How ever, my biggest disappointment of the trailer was I saw a clip of the “full pressure” red boards in the trailer which really was dissatisfying to see. I was hoping EA would give us the option to turn the flashing red boards off. When you watch a live hockey game, we don’t see flashing red boards that say “full pressure”. It’s just boards with ads and sponsorships. EA_Aljo, will we be given the option to turn off the flashing red boards of the pressure meter? And can we optionally turn off the one time indicator as well? NHL 25 was too arcade oriented and it backed away from realistic hockey. I speak a lot for us NHL gamers who have given time and money to this series, but ever since NHL 24, the games have been too unrealistic. We deserve better.

    Pretty sure in 25 you had options to disable those visuals, not entirely sure on the pressure meter but I can confirm the one-time indicator has an option

    Hey. I moved your thread to the NHL 26 forums. As far as turning off the pressure indicator on the boards goes, I don't have any details on that. You could previously turn off the one timer indicator though.
