NHL 26 World of Chel
In NHL26 WoC, the fun of the game is there, the game modes are great and the competitive of it is thrilling. I just wish the little details of the game were more defined and worked on for the community.
- Crowds and reactiveness.
When in a game of 6v6 or even HUT, it just feels like the crowd that is made is rushed and stiff. The only time I can think of when the crowd looks good is when the game is loading up and they're swinging around glowsticks or cheering before the puck drop. Crowds in the game could be made a little more reactive and lively like they aren't just cheering for no reason and looking in random directions.
- Goalie customizability
The customizability in the game for goaltenders is already insane but some of the pads and gloves feels sloppy and unreliable when trying to customize colors and match with their team colors. It would help if more available models of older brands and newer brand were available such as Bauer, ITECH, KOHO, Reebok, even Simmons and BATTRAM and Russian brands as M4G and Miklin. A pipette option would also help matching colors with jerseys and pads. Customizable gear such as more sticks that are newer and older, skates like the TRUE one piece and two piece or BAUER Konekt. On the back of pads and fixing the strapping to match their respective pad and brand as do in real life and fix the color sections and make everything easier to color in more sections. More realistic stances as goalies in real life do would also be more comfortable for people trying to recreate their favorite goaltenders in real life. Overall, more customizability would help bring more people bring out their creativity withing WoC.
