NHL 26 Connection Issues

Have been trying to play NHL 26 online modes for the past week, and it always says "Network Connection Issue", my connection is fine with all other games even EA games like Madden. But it will not let me play online modes in NHL 26.

    Yep, that’s NHL for you. I don’t think I’ve had a single day where I haven’t been “disconnected from game” or randomly logged and locked out of online play. Even getting disconnected mid games ruining my cup chase unbeaten seasons

    Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. Let's make sure you're properly power cycling your equipment. Please follow these steps:

    1. Unplug your modem/router for 2 minutes
    2. Hard restart your console by holding down the power button until it turns off
    3. Power it all up and try playing again


    Let me know what happens.
