NHL 27 Must Haves Or Its Over

As a longtime player I’m finding over past few years the series is becoming way too focused on the arcade direction. This has made much of us feel less interested and it shows, 

Low population has spoken that this series needs some more realism instead. I’m sure many of us consumers can agree, including the content creators. This series needs to start being more interactive in the sense of devs getting to the consumers, 

BAP was a good start but could have been so much better. We still can’t see our or other teams injuries, no way to toggle between both NHL/AHL stats, can’t see who retired and after BAP Is over there is nothing but a locked screen where we can’t even view the record book, awards, etc. Not to mention we can’t play a full junior season career.

Franchise Mod: it has been good and is the mode I play mostly but we need an option for an All-Star game and also full presentation for this mode would do wonders 

 

HUT.: Rewards system needs to be better in terms of value. If someone spends their money they shouldn’t be given an 83 overall for an expensive pack. 88’s and over should be the case. 

WOC: Enough with the characters nobody has even asked for. These have really taken the fun out of this mode. Keep it for modes like Eliminator ( this includes the casual wear and outdoor rinks ) 

Let us in drop-in 6’s feel the enjoyment of selecting jerseys from various teams in leagues. Give us back our indoor rinks and put in a casual/competitive option. Club please make it so we can use the jerseys instead of having to unlock them. This will really help for those who have virtual hockey leagues. 

There is so much more including tweaking the pressure system especially for the goalies who don’t face a shot, just please bring back some realism.

  • None of these doesn't really matter if in NHL 27 there's still menu lag, freezes and crashes.

  • None of these matter if the gameplay doesn't i.prove significantly from this awful hit fest no cpu opposition  stick penalties in franchise and season modes

    This game definitely feels way too much like an arcade game. Especially with the special attributes that players get, specifically wheels. These players seem to have jet packs on when they’re skating, way too excessive if you ask me.

    Agreed wheels and truculence both need to go. 

  • We're in some desperate need for some Quality of Life across the board. They finally ditched last gen when we're already past the half way mark this gen and still haven't gotten any real upgrades since the PS3/Xbox360 days. That's wacky.

    unstoppable with reverse hits need to go dumbest thing ever added

  • This dev team is responsible for Mario strikers and then a bunch of mobile games that targeted kids to buy stuff. So arcade and micro transactions.. and they gave us arcade and micro transactions. They are not making a game for the fans, its a game for the EA execs. If it was for us we would have had a "match my room size"

    One of their goals they talked about with their partners "stretch out as far as they can into modes that make them the most popular with the kids/maximize their profits". They've slowly built up to this point year after year since coming on halfway through NHL 23.

  • Actual fixes to bugs that have been in the game going back years.
