Welp, new year and new game... same problem persists. All other games still work fine. I bought the pre order and deluxe version and the game crashes the exact same way. It has crashed 4 times on me. I tried a public ip, static, and multiple other network settings.
I am on an series X. On NHL 26 via the cloud the game ran completely fine. From NHL 25 to NHL 27 this problem persists. I went to the lengths of downloading NHL 24 as well and same problem. This only started when the game was available only on the S and X.
Again, every other game works on my console. This only happens with EA Sports titles. And again, there is no way its my console. In the past, I tried every single one of the canned trouble shooting methods (clearing cache, uninstall/reinstall, restarting my network, manual ip settings, etc.).
How can we get some love with this problem? What do we need to do to get EA to help us out with this problem??????
