NHL26 BAP Question

When playing Be A Pro in previous titles such as NHL25 you were always given a list of options when going into a game based on shift lengths, Quick(5m periods),Medium(10M), Real-Time(20M), or Custom(Allowed you to choose period length and would load custom gameplay slider settings) but Custom is missing in 26. The only roundabout way I have found to keep my preferred settings from game-to-game without having to set period length and sliders every time is if I avoid the "play next game" button and having to go through simming the first 20seconds of the game so it doesnt reset settings.

So my question is, is the "Custom" period length button coming back? Cause its annoying when I cant even save a 'preset' for my preferred settings/sliders and have to write it all down somewhere.

  • I just played the trial version of BaP & I think this might help. Create the Preset options your looking to load in BAP mode but create the Preset from the main screen & save it. Go into the BaP Mode now and then try the steps below.

    When you're loading the matchup do it as always. Once you have control of the game again, pause the match and open the settings for THIS MATCH, to into Accessibility Settings menu then look for Controller Accessibility to find the last option in the list should be the Preset Selections where you just pick the saved preset that u want.

    I cannot open the game again right now so I cannot verify this but I'm betting that someone else will lol. I was playing the trial but it ran out of time & I highly doubt that I'm going to be buying the game in a state like NHL26 is in so I can what? START FROM SCRATCH FOR THE 6TH STRAIGHT EA NHL GAME RELEASE?!

    EA barely listened to the players and DEFINITELY failed with the new HuT Mode by not including the same hut modes with the new HuT features NOT TO MENTION THAT WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A WAY TO USE OUR EXISTING HUT TEAMS OR THE ABILITY TO USE THE SAME BAP PROFILE (12 seasons and I'm expected to start all over) 

    I'll start the stuff all from scratch when EA gives me a free copy of it for my PS5 but I'm DONE buying a game that's not all that different than NHL24.

    Tested your solution/suggestion, and gameplay presets is greyed out, my preset IS selected but sliders are default for medium length 10m periods. So unfortunately thats a no go.

    So in Be a Pro, every time I start a new game, the gameplay sliders and rules reset and I have to adjust them again for EVERY SINGLE GAME. 

    In previous games, the sliders were kept if you selected to start the game with custom lenght, but in this years version, it isn't an option anymore.

    Please fix this, I paid 80€ for this new game and even simple things aren't working.

    I think, and I’ve only maxed out speed agility and acceleration as I think it’s the easiest to notice that as long as you don’t try and adjust them again they will stay the same. I’ve only tested with those three though and have been able to enter rest mode and play an hour later with them not changing. I feel it works but can’t fully confirm. It does feel like the speed remains though. Hope that helps

    Definitely a bug but the speed has remained the same. Only tried that one category though to test it and the speed seems to not have changed as far as I can tell. But if you adjust anything it feels like it resets everything

  • Patch was released today fixing this issue.

    May I ask how it’s fixed? I max out speed as it’s the most obvious test for me to notice and still find it changing back to normal after turning off the ps5. Is there a process I’m not doing perhaps?

    For me, I went to the BAP hub, down to settings, adjusted sliders, went to "Play next game" and the custom shift option uses the sliders. If the button is not there, see if you need to update your game? Acceleration/speed seem to be working for me but depending on your attribute effect level, the gap in speed can be closed by a McDavid type speedster
