Could we get an info about the loyalty tokens distribute?
Hello! There is loads of wonder now online for the amounts of loyalty tokens. I got 8 with 856 hours of NHL 26, 2500 players and 571 games on HUT, while another person got 10 tokens with 65 hours and a third one 20 tokens with 650 hours in. Can you EA_Aljo give some explanation/word to this? This seems really odd and i feel not really loyal appreciated for us the playerbase.
Copyright strikes for using "Thematic" soundtrack which should be copyright free
As the title says, in NHL 27 there is new music when you select the "NHL 27 thematic soundtrack" instead of the standart soundtrack with licenced songs. The thematic soundtrack is supposed to be copyright free generic music to avoid copyright issues on youtube or twitch etc. I tested uploading 20 minutes long video and every single menu song that played got copyrighted immediately on youtube. Here are some information about the copyright claims if its helpful: Gunslinger {1477926} Daniel James Arnold (PRS)|Leon Paul Harris (PRS)|Liam McGregor Black (PRS) Burning Desire {1104643} Benson Taylor [PRS], David Wittman [ASCAP] Freedom Reigns {1607789} Dave Sebant-Montefury (PRS)|Joe Slash (PRS)|Loki One (PRS)|Trent Ferman (PRS) Claiming party: Adrev for a 3rd Party: Ninja Tune Production MusicOne step forward, 2 steps back
Ok so I’ve eaten my words a bit. Gameplay is actually decent minus some of the typical things like AI just not doing what they are suppose to do if you are a defenseman, stop rushing up on offense but that’s minor. My issue is visually. It’s 2026 and yet this game looks worse than last year. The clipping is bad. The animations look so stiff and wtf is up with face scans this year? I hope you guys really do check these forums because this is badSeries X Frames Dropping after repeated play.
I've had this issue since 25 on my series s. The game plays flawlessly, but after several hours of play the game starts to drop frames. Audio is perfect. Drops frames in both online and offline. Mostly when transitioning from bottom to top of the ice. This happened on a series s with 26 and 25 but took a lot longer to achieve on 27. The only fix is quitting the game and unplugging the Xbox for a minute. Sucks this issue never happened on my ps5 with 25 or 26. It took me around 4 hours of gameplay yesterday to notice the dropped frames. So I can see why it was missed in testing. Also my console is well ventilated and not overheating. I even opened up my series s before to clean out dust and it still happened. Must be a bug. Hope it gets fixed! Thank you team.
Huge miss - Roster Sharing
Can we still not import uploaded roster shares from the previous game…? People spent the entire year (every year) creating all 63 NCAA team, retro rosters, (1999, 2006, 2014, etc.) All just to get erased in a few months when the next games released. Very discouraging for anyone who actually puts time in making the downloadable rosters feature worth it. They are already uploaded in to the cloud somewhere I would genuinely like to hear the technical reason for why this is not in the game after nearly 3-5 years of roster sharing.
L2 glitch
https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc7GsOpOSTA/?stkn=MWtiYjUyYzQ5Z3c4Yg== Watch this link and tell your community why this is even a thing after telling us you patched the L2 glitch. NOBODY moves like this in the NHL. You shouldn’t be able to turn like this at all out of the L2 glitch. It shouldn’t be that hard to nerf that move. Make players like this guy actually play hockey and be skillful, nothing like this is skill.
World of Chel: Buying attributes for ranked matches crosses a line.
EA, I’m absolutely furious about the direction you’re taking World of Chel in NHL 27. Players can directly purchase Season Pass tiers to unlock Skill Points, Ability Points for X-Factors, and attribute cap increases faster. Those advantages carry over into ranked matches. To me, that is pay-to-win. Calling the pass “free” does not solve anything. Yes, other players can eventually earn the same rewards through gameplay. But until they do, the person who pays already has access to additional attributes and build options. Being able to catch up later does not make today’s matches fair. The argument that you’re “only paying to save time” falls apart when that saved time lets you improve your player before competing against other people. You are monetizing a competitive advantage. It does not guarantee a win, but it lets someone buy an edg and that is the problem. I already pay for the game. I should not then have to choose between spending more money or grinding to access the same capabilities as an opponent who pulled out their credit card. My gaming time should be about enjoying hockey with friends and improving my skills, without that additional pressure. What makes me so angry is seeing this model introduced into a mode where competition should come down to skill, decision-making, and teamwork. Losing should make me want to play better, not wonder what my opponent purchased. Here is what I want you to do: Remove paid progression that provides gameplay advantages in World of Chel. Give everyone access to the same point budgets and attribute caps from the start in ranked matches, with the same player-building trade-offs. Keep monetization focused on cosmetics. Publicly address this change and explain your commitment to competitive fairness. Please do not respond by simply repeating that “everything can be earned through gameplay.” The issue is that money buys faster access to power that can be used against other players. I love hockey, and I want to love World of Chel. But this direction seriously damages my trust in the game. Your wallet should never be part of building a competitive team.
