Rejoining games in progress (WoC)
Please, PLEASE add a feature for players to be able to rejoin a game when they lag out/their game crashes in World of Chel. Playing 6v6 games and having a guy lag out partway through the first or second period just to be stuck with a computer player the rest of the game is excruciating. So many other games have the functionality to rejoin a game in progress when they first start up the game again after a disconnection; this is a game where every player can make such an impact and one CPU can disrupt the entire flow of the game, it's baffling that this feature hasn't already been added yet.Game feels more responsive in Wildcard than Ranked/Champions despite higher ping
Hey everyone, I wanted to bring this up and see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing in NHL 26. I’ve been playing both Wildcard (Threes) and Ranked/Champions, and there’s a very noticeable difference in how the game feels: In Wildcard, I usually have around 48–50 ms ping In Ranked/Champions, it drops to about 38–40 ms So in theory, Ranked should feel better… but in practice, it’s the opposite. In Wildcard, the game feels fast, smooth, very responsive... but in Ranked/Champions it feels heavy with a very noticeable input delay... overall less responsive The difference is big enough to affect the player control, the shooting timing and for defense (poke checks often feel late, etc.) Possible reasons? Is anyone else experiencing this? Right now it just feels very counterintuitive: better ping, worse gameplay feel. FYI: Im playing on Playstation 5. Thanks in advance!Drop In Skater Glitch
I’m experiencing an issue with trying to get back into a 3v3 club lobby with my club “Cold As Puck”. We had a drop in skater who we tried to get rid of by leaving the lobby and starting a new one like we would usually do, however when we try to create one the “ghost” skater is still in the lobby and it says invalid game session. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, I have reset my console, I’ve restarted my console, I’ve cleared my consoles cache. I’m out of ideas and do not want to have to create a new club. Just to note, club 6v6 works just fine as well as any other club mode.Post-Update 1.4 input lag
Hi. It's been a week since the last patch, and the game still isn't working properly. It's not just the slow menu in the HUT or the laggy pack opening, which others have reported, but also the constant input lag during matches. I know not everyone has this issue, but I've been experiencing it for seven days now. After last week's patch, the game became barely playable for me. Until last Wednesday, before the patch, the game ran flawlessly, without any input lag. I also read on the forum that someone is having a problem where their team suddenly slows down, for example, towards the end of a match. I'm experiencing similar issues. Even though my entire match is sluggish, there are times when it gets a little better, or suddenly worse, so much so that the AI players don't even know what they're doing. It's becoming very irritating. I don't know how I lasted a week, but I'm already physically and mentally exhausted because the conditions I play in demand 200% concentration, which ultimately exhausts me. But most importantly, there is no fun in playing this game, even if you manage to win. It's hard to create any good plays, even shots come out weird, and it's hard to position yourself defensively and switch players in time. Sometimes it seems like the match starts at the right pace, but after 10-15 seconds, input lag appears. Network status during the match shows the same values as always (24-29 ms), even before the update, so they don't affect the input lag. The game feels like it's being played with a 100 ms delay. I forgot to mention that a slight delay is noticeable even in Moments, which are supposedly played offline but are somehow tied to the server connection. Ranked, HUT Champion, and Wild Card are a complete pain. I've tried everything – turning off my router/modem + resetting to factory defaults, setting different DNS, unplugging the console for a while, reconfiguring the network on the console, reinstalling the game, use two different controllers, rebuilding the database... All to no avail. Of course, I checked to make sure it isn't an issue unrelated to the NHL, but the console and other games run normally. I even launched HUT in NHL 25 and everything seems to work fine there. If anyone else is experiencing a similar problem, please join the discussion or at least give them a thumbs up, as it's unclear if the Team is aware of the issue. Until this is fixed, I think I'll give up on playing NHL, as it's not fun. Team, please do something. Thank you. Playstation, central-east Europe.
Game freezes, lags and speed up.
Im getting really frustrated with the lag, freeze and speed up packet loss. Are the servers broken because it's happening more and more. I'm a goalie so it's frustrating when it freezes, lags and speeds up on saves. Please fix tjis because it's on EA server side. It's not my internet this is the only game that does it. If you tell me to reset my modem I'll explode.
