Suggestions to improve BaP

I have enjoyed NHL 26 but here are some things I think would greatly improve the game: 

-Even with slider adjustments the goalies cover the puck way too often. Make it so the game keeps flowing and the puck isn't covered every time the goalie catches the puck. 

-line changing shouldn't be so difficult. The arrow will change from one door to the other constantly when you skate to the bench. Once you skate to the designated area there should be a button to press to hop out

-in be a pro energy gets depleted way too quickly and effects the attributes way too much. I like the realism but tone it down a little. I have had to spend 90% of my attribute points to replenish energy instead of into the players abilities

-overall the sliders don't effect the game enough. Even setting the goalie to cover the puck at 0 they will cover it all the time. Make each slider adjustment have more actual effect on the game. Madden has mastered this so you can make incremental adjustments to make the game more fun/realistic to the players preferences. 

Edit: Modified the title to better reflect the content of the thread - CM

    Another thing I forgot to add, it would be helpful if the game would save the slider preferences on be a pro. It saves the rules preferences but I have to manually adjust the sliders before every game after selecting what Jerseys the players wear in the pre game menu. Thank you for passing along the feedback!

    He’s not gonna pass on any feedback. EA responded to a thread 7 months ago about the energy issue in BAP and not a single thing has been done to fix it. At this point the excuse will be “Oh we’ll just fix it in the next game”. I have 0 faith in this company. They’re lucky my friend buys the game cause we gameshare on PlayStation, because the last time I spent money on one of these games was NHL 15. Good luck getting a fix.

    They will never improve BaP to actually be good. They have intern developers or maybe 5 people working on the game. It’s not entirely clear to me. When NHL 26 first came out I reported about 5 different issues with BaP. Almost 7 months later,  not a SINGLE thing was fixed. Yep, they addressed form score,  but did they fix it? Nope. That has been the major issue for everyone (outside of your incompetent AI - which ea Aljo claims is the same as the other team —total crap if they had played the game they’d know that’s a lie). 

    the fact they haven’t fixed the primary issue of the mode 7 months in told me they will never fix anything unless you pay $70 for the next one with maybe. 2 fixes.
