Dedicated Server vs peer to peer
Hi, I would like to know if HUT or online versus is on dedicated server or peer to peer, cause for some reason when i play HUT on a 10ms ping the gameplay feels very heavy and delayed compared to online versus on a 70ms ping. It feels more responsive on online versus. Can someone explain please ?
Be A Pro is unplayable with multiple large issues
The developer team was on the right track with the changes made this year to the game mode but ultimately fell short in the execution. In this thread I will go over the issues I have noticed with many hours of play time as a multiple year experienced player. 1. The health feature. After each game your player gets fatigued or exhausted and you to spend 2-4 energy points to recover. That would not be an issue if we received more energy points. On average you play 3-4 games per week and you only get 6 energy points. Quite often you will find yourself running out of energy points before your last game of the week, forcing you to play super fatigued. This is very frustrating as you always fall behind the 8ball and it drops your speed, acceleration, endurance, agility and durability by 10-20 attribute ratings. During the season you never have any energy to spend on trait points, X-factor points, or the likability options. A good comparison of a health system that works is in EA's College Football games. In those games you don't have to spend all your points on health as you only play 1 game per week. They pretty much copied the same feature in NHL26, except it's the same amount of energy points but with way more games per week. It just does not add up... 2. Form score. The form score seems to only go by point productions from your player. It possibly may be ever so slightly tied to the coach feedback score, too hard to tell. Your player can play extremely well and get an " A " grade for the coach feedback, but since you did not score a goal or an assist, your form score will be only 20/100. If you are on a line with grinders (like an NHL 4th line), or just don't "finish" the play, you get penalized. The game requires you to have a high form score to make the NHL team, or move up the lineups. This also is a big problem for Defenseman or a 2-Way forward who doesn't prioritize a purely offensive game. 3. Gameplay sliders. The sliders that are set in settings get reset every time you play a game. Even if you set the sliders in settings before you start your Be A Pro, it will not work. Each game they have to be edited. 4. Draft stock media interview. The media interview right before draft day is absurd. It is not realistic at all to be able to drop 20 spots in the draft from answering questions that seem like a good response. A simple fix would be making the worst answer -1 draft stock, the best answer +1, and the 2nd best/worst being 0 change. Also, make it more apparent what your goal is (to answer questions closest to your higher likeability- being management, teammates, and brand). 5. Chapter challenges/lineup challenges. Unless your player goes on an offense masterclass in the pre-season, you will not make the NHL team. This goes back to #2, where I spoke about form score. It is not realistic to require such a high production to make the team. Second which, once sent down to the AHL, you have 8 games to maintain a 65 or higher line score. If you make the NHL team, you are stuck on the 4th line where you play only a few shifts per game (even on 20 minute periods). You do not have enough ice time to produce at the rate required to make the 3rd line. It's at the point where you need a higher points per 60 minute stat than the top players in the league to progress. As a defense player, this makes it absolutely impossible to move forward. The coach grade feedback also needs to be adjusted per ice time. You can have all your 4 shifts where you play well and go from the C- starting point, to a C+, which is never high enough to grow. If the developers can make the correct tweaks, this game mode has such good potential. I recommend either adding more energy points per week, or reduce the fatigue you gain per game you play. At the least, have a setting to turn off the health feature like in other EA sports games like CFB25/26. There also needs to be adjustment on the form score. It needs to be more related to your coach feedback and your player role/position. They needs to be tweaks for both of those metrics for the ice time you are allocated. Those simple fixes will make a massive difference in this game mode. I have not seen any player, YouTube, or Streamer happy with how this game mode plays and I have not heard any response from the EA team on this topic. Please give us hope for this game!NHL 27 Realistic Must Have's:
I am putting down simple realistic add on's for NHL 27 that do not require any new licensing with external corporations . - Be a pro: Be a pro has vastly improved I will give EA that, however I believe that small tweaks like more interaction with your pro off the ice like an option to have team practices and on ice drills that can benefit your players attributes and build chemistry would be beneficial to everyone. Secondly, add in the all star game, 4 nations, olympics (without formally calling it the olympics) Lastly, please make it more rewarding to be good defensively and to add to performance score without having to score goals or put up points - Franchise Mode: Please please please bring in LTIR, retiring jersey numbers, team practices, more interaction off ice, and interviews as the GM to clarify the direction of the team. THE MAIN THING IN THIS ENTIRE FORUM IS THIS, PLEASE BRING IN LIVE SEASON STARTING DATES, if the NHL season is on say January 24th then I want the option to start January 24th with the current record of that team and updated overalls and rosters to that point. IT IS INCREDIBLY BORING TO HAVE TO START IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THE SEASON IS OVER. IN FACT IT IS INFURIATING! And as I stated before, please bring in the all star game, skills competition, 4 nations, olympics (without calling it the olympics if need be) and just allow more fun things to do. Franchise Mode has improved but there is a lot of work left to do Gm Connected would be a cool add on too but I am not expecting the moon. BUT PLEASE DO THESE THINGS TO FRANCHISE MODE OR AT LEAST THE STARTING DATE OPTION TO START IN SEASON LIVE!WOC Store Jerseys/Sticks/Skates
WOW I went into world of chel today noticed EA finally adding teams 3rd jerseys and stadium series. Now when will these all be added.. 2025- Winter Classic/Stadium series jerseys. Ottawas 2026 -3rd jersey?? And Still havent gotten the new ducks and kings logo in world of chel. my club has everything and ever club bag i open i just get gold completion coins.. So when will these all be added??I have ask but never got an answer!
Why does a Be A Pro have to be the highest point player to be a centre man. Back in the old days before 2021 you played (1-2) years in the CHL and stayed a centre man thought out your career. Now play at most 8 games as a junior as a centre man then get drafted. But no matter what you play a winger until you are the highest point player! Why?Stanley cup celebration
I think that nhl 27 should have realistic stanley cup final wins, like say franchise mode its always a little celebration and then turns into a big celebration from the bench. But maybe in be a pro we can choose our own celebration on winning the stanley cup, like flipping the gloves off rushing over to hug your goalie, be able to live like an actual celebration on winning the cup
Request for NHL27 BAP
Not sure if suggestions from here make it to the product team. Lots of good feedback in this forum for the next release. However, there is one thing I’ve not seen mentioned that I would really really like to see. Namely, when I create a Center in BAP, I would like to play Center position. Not sure if there is some philosophic or programmatic reason this does not exist already. Depending on who you get drafted by, you could go years before your overall score is high enough to play 1C. One suggested way to implement this is give me the option to choose 2C over 1LW or 1RW. Or even choose to be 3C ..etc.. Regardless of how you build it, just let me play the position I want. :)Practice with your “BE A PRO CAREER” why isn’t this a basic kind of feature?
I just don’t understand why this isn’t a basic feature in the game. This is the first sports game I’ve probably played in over 16 years. I played sports when I was younger but I’m not really a “sports guy”. But I’ve always enjoyed hockey the most. knowing that EA has made a bunch of hockey games. I decided to download and play NHL 26. I found I could create a pro being a first time player. Liking the fact I could learn the game and also the “full on rules” of hockey. While playing with just one person instead of controlling an entire team like I first jumped into. but wanting to practice with my create a character before the next game to get a better understanding of how everything works with with my controls and my players skill stats I can’t. if it wasn’t for my ADD I probably would of dropped the game but I wanted something new and different I’ve learned now what I needed to. but It would still be 100% AWESOME to practice with my Be a Pro character P.S. I’ve only been playing a week so far on rookie and learned a lot but it took extra patience I believe
