NHL 26 early wishlist (let’s make NHL great again)
First off I will say nhl 25 is actual a huge step up im liking it so far , but it’s missing some details to feel complete.. full presentation needs to return and add more to what we had in the past games In edit player menu have the ability to change the color of sticks and gloves (nhl 2k had this) and now players have been customizing their own as well. Customizable tape job (adjust length on shaft and blade and not have it preset) And add the ability to edit goalie masks. hitting and collisions need to be tweaked to more realism. Franchise: be able to control more than one team able to scout and sign players from other leagues(I.E europe) Real coaches or at least customizable coaches A customizable GM character, have conversations be shown like it is in fifa where your Gm Meets the player. office similarly to dynasty mode in nhl 2004 On the hub where we get details of what went on in other games we can see highlights (either by clip or a screen shot) with description such as ‘stamkos nets a hat trick in last nights win’ and a small clip or screen shot showing stamkos scoring his 3rd goal. Be a pro: change up the whole be a pro game mode make it more like life the life. ability to use NhL players to continue their career or an nhl legend Street clothes for off days and make it interactive. If I buy a condo or a house i want to actualy see my self living in it. Same with the car we get, be able to drive around (a small map) and not just be a attribute boost. Pond hockey pick up games you can walk to or drive to when you leave your ‘house’ Call it a ‘hall of fame room’ similar to skybox 2k had in nhl2k5 where you had the Stanley cup and other interactive stuff and unlockables. Be able to decide to start from being drafted at 18 or create a 30 year old forward who just signed with an nhl team etc.. more interactive with teammates and coaches and GM list of teams you want to be traded to etc.. extras add winter classic and all star game (skills + game) both as a play now mode and also in franchise and be a pro. player retiring playing their last game get a ovation from crowd. Announce the player will retire 1 game before their last skate with the cup (playoff mode, season mode , franchise and be a pro) Tweak the fighting engine and allow more than one fight happening at once. this is a lot of an ask, but if we can get half of these implemented we are definitely heading Into greatness with NhL games.
Speed boost and charging penalty
I am a skill stick player. With the introduction of total control, which I think is a joke, I still managed to stay on skill stick. I know that EA needs to get more players but by giving them dekes, which should be learned and some of them are not so easy to pull off, I still somehow moved on past that. Unfortunately what my biggest issue is for the past 2 years are hits. With skill stick you need to time it precisely and aim it. With total control you just push circle on PS5 and the player will automatically aim at the opponent. Another problem is that when you press circle you get significant speed boost and you can charge from all the rink and still won’t get a charging penalty. It’s sometimes really frustrating… Is EA planning to look onto this and improve it?
Franchise mode contracts issue
Hey , I was wondering for nhl 26 will they be fixing the terrible and unrealistic contracts that players start demanding in franchise mode cause it makes it unplayable, also is there any word on if they will be revamping the free agency and other parts of franchise mode ? Also was curious if they would ever consider adding a be a coach mode as I believe it would be very fun. Thanks :)WE NEED CONNECTED FRANCHISE IN NHL26!
Ive spent over 57 days on NHL25 so I am a very committed NHL25 player and a die hard hockey fan. I get the game every year but this is the last straw for me this year. WE NEED CONNECTED FRANCHISE! Plase EA I'm begging you. It's been over a decade since we've been able to play against a friend online for a Stanley Cup... Imagine that! I can't play against my friend for the Stanley Cup in franchise mode, IN AN NHL VIDEO GAME! All of EA's other sports titles have an online franchise mode and those games are all more successful than NHL.... My friends and I are all super hopeful we can finally get this mode in NHL26 and I promise you EA the SECOND that this mode is announced to be back my friends and I will ALL pre-order the game. Otherwise we'll wait for the boxing week sale... For us to be able to be the GM of our favorite teams and use custom rosters for an in depth and realistic ONLINE franchise mode and truly compete for the Stanley Cup I would be willing to trade in my freaking car.... Please EA Please 🥺 - A hopeful hockey fan.NHL 26 WOC
I really think they should update WOC into where we can grind for something like a rep system or some sort instead of just being a max level title so it’s not the same thing we grind for every single year. Another cool thing would be if they add overalls so we can see our teammates and opponents overalls.NHL 26 trailer when?
Hey there just wanted to see if we are getting any nhl 26 news yet? I really hope the game has full presentation and stuff from older games like tunnel run out, three stars, starting goalies, new play by play (multiple broadcast teams), etc are we getting any news here soon? thanks
