In Franchise Mode so far, anytime I make a line change during a game, instead of bringing out line 2 for example, it’ll give me a random mosh-mash of players on my team, making line changes and setups useless. This is on the PS5
Ideas
i still have the same problem, in 100% of the game I play. Mainly, the game puts offensive players on defence, and then mixed all the rest of the lines unti the next whistle. It's very annoying.
Also, similiar to that bug. When we have an injured defenceman, the system will replace the injured defeceman by a foward, mainly the one I put on my power play (I play with 4 offensive players on my PP) so everytime that I have an injured defenceman duraing a game, I play with only 4 defenceman because the 3rd pair can't be used because the system always give me the offensive player on defence.
I bought the game full price on launch day and 2 months after, I still have a bugged game, I'm not very impressed with your business model of using us, the customer, as your video game tester. Could be nice if that simple bug could be fixed pretty soon.
It’s a mess. They’re not going to fix it either. Core gameplay isn’t important to them. Just their 72 new features that they have to constantly patch. Just new feature on top of new feature. Fixing the game itself isn’t on their radar
It's been 3 months that we still play with a broken game. That bug is MAJOR, as its give us the wrong player, and playing with 5 offensives players is not great at all.
That bug as been report for the last 3 months, by at least 5 different persons, so please don't tell us that EA is not aware of the problem.
You can find the same bug reported here:
- Line change bug! - 3 months ago
- Line-changes are bugged - 2 months ago
- Line change glitch in franchise mode- 3 months ago
- Line changes - 2 months ago
- Line change in Franchise mode gives you random players - 3 months ago
As we are customer and have paid for a complete game, we are not paid for being EA Video Game Tester, so please fix the bug.
thank you
I’m right there with you. I don’t think they play their own game outside of HUT. This is a huge problem that’s never been in an NHL game before except for this one, and it sounds like they have no intentions of looking into it.

Hey there. Can you get me a video of this? It would also be good to get a screenshot of the your lines. Thanks!
Been happening to me aswel!
Hi there. For some reason I couldn’t download my PS5 video capture, but I have screenshots of my lines. I put out Line 2, and as you can see in one of the screenshots, Tavares is out there randomly instead of Nylander. Happened earlier in the game as well.
Here’s some video of the issue persisting and a snapshot of my lines. One video, the game puts Matthews out there when it shouldn’t, and the second one puts Nylander out there instead of Tavares. I haven’t recorded everything. But this particular game I played was horrendous for it. The game could not put out Line 2 at all. Just random players every time I tried that shift.
