NHL 26 No Club Bags
Hi, I remember the idea was to get rid of player bags. NHL26 should follow this concept even further. First, no more bags with coins in them. And another great addition to the game would be getting rid of the club bags. Instead, you can earn and save club points and buy the club items you want. The same what we have for individual players right now. It would also be great to introduce club challenges, such as winning the next three games to earn more club points as a reward and unlock more items you really want. This would also give clubs with less playing time the opportunity to save up for a bigger stadium or other end-game club items. It would fit perfectly into the new “no bags" concept of the game and make this concept more consistent. What do you think?
NHL 26 WISHLIST
I'm a big fan of the games and am a Be A Pro merchant. I've played the last 10 NHL games, and have been wondering why it's so easy to become the captain in Be A Pro. The few things I want for NHL 26 Be A Pro are very simple: NHL 19 mechanics where it took 3-4 seasons to get the A, and 2-3 seasons after that to get the C. Since then, you could pretty much immediately become captain after a single season in every Be A Pro. I would love to see them implement these mechanics into the next game. It not only gives you something to work towards, but also adds a level a realism to the game. Please give less dialogue in Be a Pro and make it easier to sim. With so many random side missions and interactions, it makes it difficult to want to really grind the career and play for a while. NHL 19 is a perfect example of what my ideal Be A Pro would look like. Fix the Low, High, and Fixed camera angles to make them not spin in 360 degrees. Why not just make it like the FIFA career camera?
2 Requests for EA
Hello EA team, I have 2 easy to implement requests for NHL 26 to make the game more enjable. 1. Please do not add anything that will take away the realism on-ice when playing games. In NHL 24 there was the Pressure Icon and boards flashing “full pressure” which was not able to be turned off. In NHL 25 there was the “open for a one-timer” icon that was not able to be turned off. People who play Franchise mode for realism despise having these icons that take away the realism, so please, if you are going to add any on-ice icons for NHL 26 can you PLEASE allow us the option to TURN OFF the visual? 2. Could you allow us more oppertunity to customize players within Franchise Mode? For example, could you unlock the ability for us to edit CPU player positions, height/weight, etc. This way if a CPU team has a centerman with 60 faceoff rating I can edit him to be LW instead of me exploiting him and winning 100% of the faceoffs against that player. This would help simulation logic. Thank you for considering my requests :)NHL 26 Kickstarters for PC & Switch 2
This yearly debate is tiresome - we want it - EA says they don’t believe it will be profitable or profitable enough. There is an easy answer - put it on Kickstarter and EA gets to decide what the magic sales number is. Your customers get to prove their commitment with pre-sales - win/win at putting this frustrating argument to bed right (and costs EA nothing but a few mins of time)? Either way, the proof is measurable and not an arbitrary argument about theoretical estimates and if the kickstarters fail - the customers are to blame, not EA Management/Leadership. This can be revisited the same way every few years and it puts NHL’s platform future in the supporters’ hands. Please present this to the right internal people - the fans will thanks you for the opportunity to make our request a reality.
NHL 25 Feedback
If ALL of this isn't fixed by 2026 game then it isn't worth buying ever again. I could develop this game much better than what they are doing. Here what is wrong with this game. Absolutely terrible when it comes to penalties(not sure if the developers have ever watch or played hockey at all). None of the penalties are called correctly. Goals by the computer are scored in ways physics couldn't ever explain, Pucks will hit the goalie in the chest and some how go in the net. The HUT moments are ridiculously tiered. All-Star setting for a 78 player. All-Star setting to get 2,000 coins. A HUT moment should NEVER be above your 3rd tier which is Pro on this game, Superstar to get a token to add to set for an 85, 75 speed moving as fast as a 99 speed on certain tiers, 78s scoring goals on 99 goalies on simple shot any person could save, gives you lower tiered players or player who never played with the moment player but will give the computer everyone that is at their highest then set the moment at All-Star and you need to score 4 goals with an excellorated clock in the 3rd period and only 2 minutes left (Special HUT Moments challenge). TOTW, TOTY, X-Factor and Power Icons have ridiculously animations to see what the card is, just open the card like normal the colored background is enough to see what it is. So EXPENSIVE for packs just to get a chance at the highest cards in the set per week. Make guarantees of 1 out 5 for $30 packs. They show you a percentage of your chance at that player and it never adds up. 50% chance at 95 open 4 packs and get none. The coins on selling back a card is ridiculously low and WAY to many BND and UnTradeable card packs. UnTradeable while doing sets its fine but make every pack card tradeable or if Untradeable at least have a quick sell worth the money to buy the pack. BND card selling nets you 0 coins should be at least 2,000, set player quick sell 0 coins should be no less than 10,000, 94 auctionable card quick sell 200 coins should be no less than 150,000 all going down as higher tier coming out but never low enough to not make it worth getting rid of. You should be able to sell 10 cards per promotion to buy at least a 3,000 NHL points pack from the store. Run the promotion for a month not a week or two. The only good qualities of this game are HUT Fantasy Hockey, TOTY, X-Factor and Power Icon top tier players go up as higher levels of those players come out, downside is it cost you a fortune in lower tier cards to upgrade the X-Factor and Power Icon or to get tokens to get fantasy players. Fantasy players that are 99 who aren't even in the playoffs, have a 99 card, or are even the best at their positions or on their own team. The developers of this should get with the Madden guys and learn how to do the quick sell coins. Taking trading out of the Auction House and make it simple. This isn't even everything wrong this is just HUT!!! Didn't even mention CHEL, or anything else outside the HUT. Also loves to kick you off with 30 seconds left in the game and you have 5 objectives done and you have to replay them again plus lose the game. Edit: Modified the title to better reflect the content of the thread. -CM
