Re: Can't name my player in World of CHEL or Be a Pro due to Profanity

Every name I try using for World of CHEL brings up an error message as being potentially offensive. I’ve tried John, Dan, Dale. Nothing works. I even tried changing the last name from NHL to Nhl and still got the same message.

    Which seems ironic as my current name is borderline. I tried to change it to the default, but any name brings the warning message.

    What's the full first and last name you are trying to use? Can you try entering in the last name first before the first name, or vise-versa?

    I tried my own name, Dale Earl, and was flagged for both names. I can now enter a fake name, but my own name is still giving me the error. I’ve tried doing last name first as well.

    The team is aware of this functionality and working together with those assigned to the profanity filter to find solutions for this in the future. We do not have any specific timeframe or details to share on the status of this at the moment. If there are any updates for NHL 22 for this we will absolutely make sure we share it to the community here in the forums.

    Yall need to figure it out quick...

    Because I can't even use the last name SMITH let alone anything else.

    The only reason this game survives is CHEL/EASHL... and yall have completely fumbled this football...
