There has been plenty of posts that say “This game sucks” and plenty of posts saying “This game sucks and I’ll tell you why”. Ill give you a great example of something that has been sent into the “Devs” and it hasn’t been fixed in 3 years.

The goalie controls reset after every launch of a game file. Every single time you load a BAP season, your control settings reset. There is not even a control setting option in the menus within your BAP game, you have to start the game for the option to come up. It gets annoying when you start a game, then pause, then adjust your control settings, then unpause the game. Every time, you must do this. And every year.. “Thanks for your input, I’ll pass it on to the Devs” and guess what? Same issue. I haven’t played a game yet, but I wonder if they have fixed the crowd cheering for the other team glitch.

This is just one example of “this game sucks, but I’ll tell you why” and it doesn’t get fixed. Here is one. In BAP, the “Calendar” is missing. You cant see what day of the week you’re in, you can’t sim to a specific day of the week. Nothing. It was showing in the BAP Deep Dive trailer. At 1:38 you can see the word “Calendar” in the video, but it’s missing in the final version.

So understand why the people that spend $60-$100 are mad. Don’t bring back things from 2014 and say the game has been re-imagined. Remember when they used to announce the 3 stars of the game? The Raising of the banner? Gone.. things like that made the game so much fun to play.

Javiair EA_Aljo I agree with this. Javiair I've been Calling For the Features NHL14 had for years. How does a Game made 12 years ago have more to offer than NHL 26. Now I understand quality has gone down on almost every game. But NHL has been really bad. Aljo says His team doesnt play as much because life gets in the way.and im sure thats the case for a lot of people. But Im sure the quality of the game the last 10 years has been the biggest reason people stop playing. I keep buying the game Hoping for change. Life doesnt allow me to play Hockey as much as I use to so these games allowed us to connect with friends and have fun playing the game we all love. Unfortunately I really haven't enjoyed the game in a long time.

They wonder why I keep bringing up NHL 14. You brought up a couple good Examples with the banners and 3 stars and In my opinion those 2 things are the least of our worry. If youve read my posts I was a huge fan of the ability to change Our stick Flex Blade curve and skate radius. I was a Huge fan of The Boost packs and attributes back then. EASHL was at its best back then. Since 14 EA has slowly Ruined Eashl as a mode. I will admit there were a couple titles that weren't terrible but they definitely weren't close to what NHL 09-14 offered.

Peoples biggest complaint back in the day was the card system. If you remember the Card system was how you unlocked Your boost/attributes. You needed A certain grade and 350 to max out your attributes. The reason people didnt like that was because some players could play 350 games faster than others. So people complained that they were playing max rank when they were low rank which was messed up.

Ea Completely Overhauled Eashl when all they needed to do was give us The Attributes without ranking up and allow us to unlock the Boost.

EASHL is a mode that should be all customization. Boost allowed us to Add More attributes to key categories. On NHL 26 Xfactors make Attributes irrelevant. Xfactors have to much control over your player its an awful add to the game.

Aljo Said The features NHL 14 are gone because its been 12 years. Sure but those features were awesome. The Features you get on NHL 26 are Stupid skins Prebuilds and Holiday jerseys. How is it that NHL 14 had more to offer than the new games do?

I will Keep trying to get a Solid Mix Of New and Old. Keep NHL 26 gameplay and give me NHL 14 features.
