Top 3 nitpicks
These are non-game-breaking bugs but still very annoying. Feel free to add your own. For me the top 3 annoying things right now:
Music cuts off abruptly at puck drops and mascot starts banging his drum like 80% of the face-offs. I don't know if it's the same on Playstation but this happens on Xbox. Hard reset does not work and it happened in both NHL 25 and NHL 26.
Superstar AI plays good the first 10 minutes in periods, then have a bit of trouble entering my zone, they become very easy to defend. They don't use their speed enough. Then always want to set up hard (for them) passing plays when a lot of times they can just shoot a low danger shot to create rebounds. But they don't. This result in me having a far higher shot count most of games.
Lastly it's the lag that happens exactly 19 (game) minutes into every period. It's so immersive breaking.
(One extra: please increase the length of showing the handshake sequence in playoffs, it's now like 5 seconds)
