Stamina drain is broken
How does stamina work in this game? In EASHL for example, say you get hemmed in your zone, your team loses stamina, but you do everything right defensively, eventually force a turnover and get out of your zone… only to have whatever stamina you had remaining, dissipate back to zero before you hit the red line. Instead of being rewarded for getting the puck out of your zone, the game punishes you. Now because you have zero stamina and you’re slow, you make a pass to a teammate, but you get laid out by somebody with Truculence in the neutral zone 5 seconds late and your teammate gets laid out just as he receives the pass, and before either of you can stand back up the other team has scored on a breakaway. I have 90 endurance on my class, but I run out of stamina like I have emphysema. Are there specific x factors that drain your opponent’s stamina? Make it make sense.When will it stop
The only thing players do is glitch, EA this is terrible that you allow this. The game isn’t fun anymore. There is no skill involved and every team does one of two glitch goals. This side skating and ankle breaking turns that aren’t possible is just annoying. And the players that play this way get praised as if they are good. You’ve taken a staple game from EA and turned into something that isn’t enjoyable.Form Score
I’m just confused as to why if I have an overall coach score at the end of a game at an A, I’m receiving a form score of 50. The coaching feedback rating system for be a pro has been continuously great for the last decade so why are we using a new system that makes coaching score irrelevant. If my coach is happy with my play I don’t think reduced ice time and punishment makes sense. The patch did well in making be a pro more playable rather than getting 2 mins of ice time per game but it still has issues. Not a single player in the nhl is getting punished so harsh by not scoring a goal in 1 of 82 games. I don’t want to be limited to making a sniper and having to score every game just to have fun with my player, be a pro is about being a pro not having 200 points at the end of my rookie season not even Selanne could manage that. I’ve always loved nhl games and be a pro. I hope this is something that’s taken into account next update.

MISSING GOALIE EQUIPMENTS + NHL GOALIE PICTURES 2025/26
Another year, another topic updates: 01.10. 2025 - added real goalie pictures 2025/26 BOTTOM on this post. 19.09. 2025 - added True Catalyst Nitro Pro 15.09. 2025 - wrong zones for CCM eFLEX 7 Pro 09.09. 2025 - sticks for left-handed goalies with wrong textures added 09.09. 2025 - new Vaughn ION ?? added 08.09. 2025 - added note about goalie sticks problem Missing gear True Catalyst Nitro Pro - (Daccord, Saros, Stalock) Vaughn ION ??? - (Pickard) TRUE L95 - (Bobrovskyi, Dostal, Nedeljkovic) Bauer SV-Pro - (Thompson) Vaughn SLR 4 Pro (Soderblom) - still missing from 2023? PADS need to update zones: TRUE HZRDUS - we need more color zones on edge right now is just 1.In game is just one color zones on edge. TRUE Catalyst PX5 - wrong color zones, when one color is addressed to multiple zones, so it is not possible to do setup e.g. Daccord. We need 2 color zones instead of one. It is zone 13, which should be divided into two separate parts. TRUE L20.2 wrong color zones on edge! (Right now is just one color zone) Correct, on picture - We need 4 color zones instead of one. CCM eFLEX 7 Pro wrong color zones on edge Correct, on picture - We need 4 color zones instead of two. BUG WRONG COLOR ON ZONE 7 ON TRUE CATALYST NITRO PRO There’s a visual bug with the True Catalyst Nitro Pro pads — it’s impossible to set zone 7 to white (it always stays light grey). Goalie stick problem for left-handed goalies There is a visual bug with certain sticks (with asymetrical design), such as the Bauer Supreme Shadow, where the logo is displayed on the wrong side for left-handed goaltenders. For example, Charlie Lindgren, who catches right (stick in left hand), holds the stick in his left hand, but in-game the Bauer logo appears on the back side of the stick rather than facing forward. Expected Behavior: For left-handed goaltenders, the stick logo should be visible on the front side (the side facing the opponent/viewer), not the back. Right-handed goaltenders should have the logo facing forward as well. Actual Behavior: The logo appears on the back side of the stick for left-handed goaltenders, making it look incorrect and unrealistic. The following list about those incorrect sticks are : CCM EFLEX 5 PRO LITE (text is correct way but it is the backside what is showing) WARRIOR RITUAL CR1 WARRIOR HERITAGE SWAGGER WARRIOR RITUAL M1 WARRIOR RITUAL M2 SHERWOOD REKKER LEGEND WARRIOR RITUAL V3 TRUE HOCKEY HZRDUS 9X4 BAUER SUPREME SHADOW WARRIOR RITUAL M3 BAUER VAPOR FLYLITE CCM VIZION SHERWOOD MORPH TRUE HZRDUS SMOKE REAL GOALIE PICTURES 2025/26 ANAHEIM BOSTON BUFFALO CALGARY CAROLINA CHICAGO COLORADO COLUMBUS DALLAS DETROIT EDMONTON FLORIDA LOS ANGELES MINNESOTA MONTREAL NASHVILLE NEW JERSEY ISLANDERS RANGERS OTTAWA PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURGH SAN JOSE ST.

Hello EA and everybody, I got a question: Why should I buy your new game, if you still didn't put on current jerseys of Czech Republic international teams? They are using these since 2024 IIHF WC a the fact that in this game there are still their old jersey is a huge disappointment for me
Penalties still not fixed
It is kinda unacceptable that a hockey sim, which has a base code that is anything but new, has been out nearly 2 months and the dev team can still not figure out something that its predecessors have had figured out for years. Why, 2 months in to a hockey sim's release, do we still not have any idea why penalties and stick infractions will not be called? Why are the gameplay sliders constantly resetting? Why is there a conflict between the main menu settings and the settings you experience in individual modes like BAP? Why does a person with literally 1 step of skate distance absolutely obliterate someone with a body check? Why did you sell us NHL Hitz. We bought NHL 26. What is the timetable for this to be resolved? When do you start issuing refunds? You didn't give us what you promised. Why is this ok?
AI/Bot blocking goal on empty net
Please fix this, my own player blocks me from scoring to empty net, as the bot is trying to block the view of an goalie... who is not there. Bot also blocks shots/passes sometimes, but that empty net is simply just moronic. Mostly affects for HUT objective making and it is just too frustrating.
