Penalty Kill Faceoff Bug in Franchise Mode (No Player Taking the Draw)

Hello,

I’m experiencing a recurring and game-breaking bug in Franchise Mode on NHL 26.

Description of the bug:

When I’m on the Penalty Kill, during the faceoff, no player from my team appears in the faceoff circle to take the draw. Because of this, it is impossible to win the faceoff.

Important details:

  • The bug happens with any team (example: Montreal Canadiens).
  • It happens with any center (Suzuki or any other player).
  • I have tested multiple line combinations and different players.
  • The bug always appears starting from the 2nd game of the season.

 

What I’ve already tried:

  • Editing PK lines
  • Assigning a natural center
  • Resetting rosters
  • Restarting the game
  • Creating a brand-new Franchise

The issue still returns every time.

Request:

Could you please confirm if this is a known issue, and whether a fix or patch is planned?

Thank you.

    Hello. Does this happen in any other mode? Are you able to start a new Franchise Mode career and have it happen?
