Would love to play online

I’ve played NHL my entire life. NHL26 is by far the most horrendous video game I have ever came across. Not because of the gameplay, because I am never able to find any gameplay. I find an opponent right away on games from 3 years ago, NHL 26 I have had friends over trying to find a casual matchup and have never been able to find one… or even see the different jersey options while choosing a team for that matter. 

Just wanted to plead for an update please please please I want to play my favourite game. Please.
