Be a Pro - goaltender
In Be a Pro mode, as a goaltender when I sim a game because the character is not the starting goalie, the form score goes down. There is also a chance that the GAA and wins / loss change. If the goaltender character gets put into the game, shouldn't the simulation stop? It's unfair to chapter challenges for the form score to change when I can't control the character.NHL 26 Be a Pro Headline
In the main screen of Be a Pro, the main tile says "dominant display" or "sets records" or other flashy tag lines there's never any follow up to indicate why it was a "dominant display" or what record was set. check the activity feed, nothing. the box scores, nothing. the game review, nothing. it would be more interesting to see some kind of news article or blurb to follow these tag lines. or have less of these tag lines.Coach feedback is broken for BAP goalie
EA, you really need to fix this garbage system for coach feedback in BAP as a goalie. I have never been able to get any higher than a C+ in saves EVER. I just finished a game where I had 42 saves on 42 shots, so a complete shutout. I ended up with a C+ in saves, C+ in positioning, and C- in team play. You literally can not get any better than a shutout for saves so the C+ makes no sense, the C+ for positioning doesn't really make any sense either considering I wasn't caught out of position giving up a goal to the opposing team, and last but not least the team play. I made probably about 15 passes in that game between playing the puck outside of my crease and passing the puck out to a teammate instead of covering it up after a save and stopping the play, not one was intercepted or sent out to a teammate that had any opponent anywhere near them. I don't expect an A+ every game and for EA to make it a walk in the park to get good coach feedback but this is a stupid system. I have a shutout and didnt even reach what the target was for saves because the target was a B+ but I had a SHUTOUT and still only got a C+. I can see if you only have like 10 shots on net and get a shutout sure maybe don't have it so high for that but I had 42 shots on net with a shutout so like, come on EA. BAP is a lot better than it was before in my opinion but they also ruined other aspects of it while trying to fix the mode and this feedback just doesn't make any sense.
EA WHEN WILL THESE BE IN WOC STORE???

See attached photos for what I'm talking about.Wish list: BAP 27
Each year there’s frustration and deception with some unrealized hope. As a longtime player (nhl 2004), I’ve come to the conclusion that you have at least to try if you want to see some changes. So here’s my wishlist to make BAP a dream offline mode. Feel free to add your spices! Continue to make some annual changes. BAP hasn’t seen any update since so long, this year was refreshing and I’m looking to see some modifications each year. No modes should stay the same each year. The “news feed” should be completely reinterpreted. At this moment, you can’t even see how much time you have with your unknown injury. Same issue with the trade deadline, you can have a wonderful season with your winger and randomly next game you lost your 2 partners… For now the only way to see it is by the “news feed” who’s completely dysfunctional. I will suggest: Add Injury list like in franchise mode. Make a totally new “news feed “ interface with all the trades by team in the past 5 years, trade block, the call up and new signatures. For the trade deadline you should have a reunion with the coach to be advised the vison (buyer, seller, etc). Before each season it will be a nice addition if you have a discussion with the coach about the new players and the changes since 1st July Finally, when there’s a trade with your team you should received a notification. You should compete for your country during your career. the addition of the IIHF world juniors was a great update this year! As we just witness with the olympics, the international hockey is really exciting. During the EA NHL calendar there’s already the 2 weeks off you should add the World Cup, international competition each 4 years (instead of olympics). You should be able to negotiate your contract. As a free agent, you should be able to add some clauses, or at least enter in a “negotiations phase”. You should be able to do your warm up skates. Just like in NBA, what a nice addition it can be to do your warmup skates and contribute to your stamina pregame by shooting some pucks on the net. Last wish, new commentators, new mojo, new energy, new langage! An aspect of the game who keep repeating itself year after year, is the narrative and the classic commentary… This part of the game would really benefits of an upgrade and why not include other’s languages! Btw there’s HoF commentator on the French Canadian part who would be great in the game! ——————————- Finally some suggestions for the actual BAP 26: Energy week should be optimized (stamina grudging). Love this new feature but unfortunately it is so strict and the stamina goes down so drastically you need to focus only on that and can’t improve “in season” your Trait points or X factors. I will like to see more energy per week and less stamina draining or at least not as a rookie (make it impact your durability in the long term)… The evaluation coach/challenges should be less frequently used. In my mind this as a lot of potential! Unfortunately, it seems to have broken the progression in the organization for the athlete. Example, you can be the elite rookie player in your team but because you had 2 bad games your downgrade in the ahl. Or because you wasn’t on the score sheet, your game score is lower than 65 beside you having a great game and being +5… I wish to keep the coach evaluation but I will keep it for the big changes (upgrading on the power play 1, making the team as a rookie, upgrading on the first line). For the rest, the progression/evaluation per game as be to be coherent with you (A+,A,A-,B+,etc). AI offline can be weak. I experienced this game on superstar mode. Unfortunately, I’m the only player who can enter the zone. The AI of every other players (teammates and opponents) is false and static for most of the time. A simple observation, I understand the complexity of it. For everything, thank you, thank you very much!NHL’27 motto, “We fixed it”
There are a lot of posts about what is wrong with the game and right now as you read this, devs are working on NHL27 and trying to come up with new ideas for the game. Here is an idea. Just fix what needs to be fixed. I cant speak for others, but I dont need new hitting animations, I dont need new ways to score or add sweat to skin. I just want things to function as they should when I bought the game. The following is a list for BAP only. I cant speak for other game modes. Presentation. Pre-game presentation should be better. Apart from the grudge matches and your first NHL game, the pre-game presentation is only 10 seconds long. Show my player, make the intro longer. Let me see raising of the banner when you win the cup and let me skate on the ice if Im one of the “Stars of the game”. Fix it side note. Grudge match animations. The goalie doesn’t have stick. Sliders.. Controller settings still not saving since tethering was introduced. Extremely frustrating that a BAP goalie has to stop a game and change controller settings. Also reports that sliders are not saving and the penalty sliders. Fix it side note. Controller settings available ONLY when you begin to play a game. Fix it side note. Aggression slider needs a larger variance. Even at 0/100 I’ll get 50 hits in a game in 7min periods. Goalie reaction slider doesn’t appear to have any effect. 0/100 or 100/100 appears to perform the same. Why cant I change my goalie stance? If I can change my hair style and goalie pads, beard length, why cant I change my goalie stance? Animations.. The goalie animations are terrible at best. The goalie limbs are too long, legs are twisting the wrong way, the jersey is too blocky and the movements and goalie animations are terrible at best. My goalie will use his elbow on his glove hand to block a shot instead of catching the puck. Also some goalie stances look horrible when the goalie is moving. I have given you pictures or videos of this in previous posts. Look at goalie stance 22 and watch the glove hand side and stick hand side move in inhuman ways. The whole energy system is a good idea but terrible implementation. Health drain is just too much and you dont get enough energy points in a week. If you play 3 games in a week, you need to save 3 energy points. If Im the goalie and I dont play for 4 straight games, why is my health exactly the same? I should recover automatically. Have a health regeneration equation where you gain on days you dont play and days between games. If I dont play for a week, my health should be at 100%. But I digress. It’s 12 points go gain one trait point. Give us more attribute choices. Keep the money, and the management options, but give us more options like speed, agility, shot power or save reflexes. Maybe keep the health level but give us regeneration on days off or games we dont play. BAP start of a career. I’ll tell you what I did like. I like the interview and the rewards process. That was a great change in my opinion. You can let the draft go or you can choose your team. I like that too. What I dont like. You gave us the WJ, a choice of tournament and go thru the draft and the offseason and there is NO option do all of that with downloaded/Current Rosters. You have to make that choice between a level 75 player with some improved attributes you earned OR you start from the base level 69 player. WHY? Why cant you write a program where the offseason continues with all the trades and FA signings and on Sept 12, you have a pop up. Continue with the current roster or downloaded roster? That way, the player has the choice and has a slightly advanced player with upgraded attributes. Fix it side note. All goalie styles begin with exactly the same attributes. How did this pass QC? Butterfly, Stand up and Hybrid all have the exact same attributes. Why does a butterfly goalie have 73 glove low and stick low with 74 5hole but an 87 stick high and glove high attributes? This wasn’t in issue with NHL25 EA, you have everything already in your kitchen to make a great product. You dont need to go to the market and buy new ingredients that can foul everything up. Just fix all the issues. Because as a consumer and EA’s history of fixing things, I wont buy nhl27 until these issues are addressed. I have say here and with my wallet. If you wont listen to your fans here, you will hear them with your lack of sales. Sad but true. Good luck.How to get drafted on number 3 on Be a pro?
you start the draft questions at number 1. you have 7 questions with the options being: -1, +1 or -3. The 8th extra question always gives +1, how on earth does this get number 3? It seems like it is mathematically impossible to get drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks or is there a better order for this? First question you are at number 1. The first answer gives +1, it is still 1 position but there is an extra 1 "hidden" there. So after this in the next step if I answer the question that gives -3, I am at number 2. Etc. Any help?Let's do NHL together!
Hello everyone! I offer the following to the development team and NHL bosses: Instead of silence and lack of information about what they plan to contribute or remove or change in the simulator, conduct surveys, share information, plans and other content. Only together we can make a truly real hockey! Aren't you tired of the discontent of your customers?! Let me give you an example. New BAP. It's very boring, there's not even a calendar, there's no interactive, even the ceremony of raising the banner after winning the cup, there's no star match, there's no call to the national team for the World Cup, there's no winter classics, **bleep** it, even the coach is not real (a nightmare), the broadcasts are boring, in part 22 you felt that you really watch hockey, insert statistics, a lot of information, a normal presentation, achievements in clear numbers, not a stupid comment and that's it. There is no atmosphere at all in the playoffs, as if it were pre-season (ice is not playoffs, forms too). The news feed is empty, there is no interesting information. Somehow, simplify your work, be interested in our opinion, because we buy what you do. Thank you! And return the Russian language already, as the IOC says, sport should unite!
