Defenceman gameplay is garbage.
Ive already made a post about numerous flaws and glitches in the defencive mechanics and gameplay. Heres another one. Can someone explain to me why when a foward uses LT its disney on ice, but when i use it on defence its as if i had forgot how to skate? Impossible to follow a moving foward in the slot using LT... its unrealisticly slow and just unusable when thats how you should be skating most of the time.. instead you just skate without it back against the player and just hope for the best. Wich nhl defenceman is so much slower and unagile while backskating??? Its just not funFranchise mode play by play names are ridiculous.
The franchise mode play by play names are absolutely ridiculous. so many of them are unrealistic, like no one’s play by play name is going to be “believe the hype” that’s just ridiculous. in addition to that, there’s some cool logos like this one of a crab, and there’s no play by play name called crabs. it’s stupid please fix it it’s impossible to create cool teams with it
Make NHL games great again (NHL 27 wishlist)
Although nhl 25 and 26 are good games, they arent necessarily at great level yet. these are some additions i would add to lean towards greatness again Gameplay: -Bring back + add presentation(Team entrance, consistent national anthem, goalie warmups,commentators recap during intermission not just seeing replays. maybe have a panel like we see on tv) - In game highlights recap (during wihistles, add realistic presentation) - More realistic collision, hits, physics -Graphix improvement, more shadow, better cloth movement, make players look more realistic than they are. Some players really do not look like themsleves. -More realistic skating and movement (though this has been a step up already) -Better fighting engine, it is literally more than 10 years old now. -Score board should add series tracker (when playing playoffs in any mode) Customization: - I asked this in the last few NHLs, but being able to change glove colors in any mode as well as stick color. NHL 2k had this, and it just added to the element of customization. - more stick tape options ( being able to actualy customize how long we want the stick shaft tape lenght to be and how much tape we want on the blade ) not just preset options. (Zibanejad for example has super long stick shaft tape and we cant replicate this anymore like we used to in 2k) - Custom goalie masks or at least able to change colors of the designs - create a team: cutomize logo for more freely (size, add layers, sponsors etc..) able to customize jersey entirely additional to the preset jerseys we can choose. Franchise: - Able to sign PTO's - more flexibility to trade for NMC players. (have a conversation with GM and player to see if there is a fit) rather than just not able to offer a trade for the player. -Activity feed to be more interactive -draft day floor with team, players being called up to stand for round 1 and then simpler draft style for round 2 to 7. -Being able to edit the draft class -Players with generic faces should be able to change the faces to what we want to match the realism of how they look, this should not be locked unless it is a face scan player. -ERA's mode (nba 2k has this) it would be more expansive when using legend players and teams -CBA to vote on changes in the league (NBA 2k has this) -Being able to edit generic coaches/assistants. able to also create your own GM avatar. - Bring back style similar to dynasty mode from nhl 2004. - Awards being more interactive and not just a list of who won - Stanley cup banners raised cut scene either when cup is won or first home game of the next seasonX Factor PNGs
I make NHL 26 videos on youtube. Is there anyway to get high quality pngs of all variants of every x factor? I have the specialist tier abilities from the NHL 26 website. But the All Star and Elite tier abilities I have to screenshot from the game and end up being low quality when I zoom them in. Is there a place to get high quality pictures of all the x factors?Issue From NHL 23 has returned to NHL 26.

An issue from NHL 23 that was fixed originally has returned. How do I defend against this? Sadly this was my first player game in forever since I don't play much WOC due to certain aspects. Prior I played goalie and we were winning lots of our games despite pressure system allowing me to let in weak cheesy 5-hole goals. I really hope this kind of stuff is fixed asap.
OT mode in HUT
one mod i think would be fun and quick is and OT mode where you play every team there is and see how many games you can win in OT in a row the longer you go the better the tougher it gets and the better rewards you get you could even have a leaderboard for bragging rights and people could make up there best teams to try and knock you off the top spot and the team that does would get a reward also i know you had and OT week in wildcard a few weeks back which i found a blast to play and quick too you dont have to sit for hours grinding to get rewards for your HUT team!
