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)

  • Franchise and season modes,  cpu opposition does not tale stick penalties ie slash trip or hook.  Opposition cpu snapshots from the blue line and scores time after time. Puck rebounds to cpu opposition every time. And lag is still there last minute of a period and when window opens for either goalie leaving net and player returns from a penalties. Having to reset the penalties to 4 from 3 in rules every time I load the game, same as nhl25. Game plays totally different if you disconnect from the Internet,  games plays totally different from play now to franchise mode.
