NHL 26 - PC (yet another thread asking for it)
Firstly, I'd like to start with mentioning that I've played this franchise since I was a kid. My first one was '07 back on PS2. I loved hopping on and playing every chance I could. I was an every-other-year buyer of these games up until NHL 21, and it wasn't because I stopped enjoying them. It was because I, along with more and more gamers every year, made the move to PC. One of the only things I miss about my Playstation is the NHL games. If a new NHL game were to come out on PC - even better, on Steam? Instant wishlist. Instant buy on release day. I wanna play Be a Pro again. Make more expansion teams in Franchise mode again. Find some people to play in an EASHL club with again. It's not as if there's no market. PC grows year over year. Look at Capcom's recent earnings report, for example. Capcom has been a console-first developer/publisher for as long as it's been around. Their most recent huge title, "Monster Hunter: Wilds", actually ended up having more PC players than console players - a first for that series. And that's just one concrete example of the numbers supporting PC's meteoric growth. Streaming the game through Gamepass isn't a solution (though it's better than nothing). A lot of gamers, including myself, don't have an internet connection reliable enough to stream games. More still don't have one strong enough to stream games and play online modes. We need a real PC version of these games going forward.
Is the PC Community being Ignored By EA?
Every year the amount of people who want NHL on PC grows and every year its disappointment. Is the PC Community being Ignored By EA? as a person who moved fully to PC this year and as part of the PC community who wants NHL on PC it feels like a pipe dream or never gonna happen. i wish EA would be honest and transparent about this so we dont have a little hope every year. that a NHL 26 or 27 or 28 will launch on PC. NHL is a top seller in canada and i feel it would be a top seller in our region (Canada) on PC too. i wish theyd just release nhl for one year and test the market since it hasnt been tested since nhl 09 which had no controller support. PC has been a popular platform since 2015 and grows massively every year . i just dont get it.
WoC skip replays / intermission WASTE OF TIME
We don't need to see the same replay 3 times in a row in slow motion for 2 minutes. Then another 30 seconds. Make it a voting system, the majority of people skipping the replays and intermission. I just want to play the game. I don't want to wait because little Jimmy wants to take another bong hit and get cheeto dust on his controller. I think we can all agree seeing one timers, cross creasers, and big hits for the 73727737 time is pointless.
Nhl 25/26 control feedback #controls
As a longtime NHL fan and player, I appreciate the direction EA took with the Total Control system in NHL 25. It introduces a fresh, streamlined way to perform skill moves and dekes, especially for newer players. However, there's one major issue that prevents many of us from fully adopting it: The removal of button-based shooting (Square = Slap Shot, Circle = Wrist Shot) makes Total Control feel limiting and less intuitive for players who struggle with aiming and shooting via the right analog stick. Suggestion: Allow players to use Square for slap shots and Circle for wrist shots within Total Control mode, just like in Hybrid controls. This way: - Players who are comfortable using button shooting can still benefit from the Total Control deke system. - The system becomes more flexible and inclusive, without sacrificing its modern appeal. - Advanced players can still use the analog for full manual control, while casual or hybrid-style players get the comfort of classic mechanics. This small change would dramatically improve accessibility and enjoyment for a large portion of the NHL community. Please consider adding this option in NHL 26 — or at least allowing full customization of control schemes, so players can tailor their gameplay to their preferences. p.s please add Polish language if u can 😍 Thanks for listening to the community!Edit Players In Franchise Mode
Hey EA! Thank you for the improvements that you have made to Franchise mode, so far I am enjoying it. One question I have is why don’t we have the ability to edit players on other teams anymore? Franchise mode would be so much more fun if we still had the creative freedom to edit players on other teams for things such as positions, player type, etc. An example of how I would use this is in my Franchise mode after doing a fantasy draft…. Columbus has 6 80+ overall LD, and no 80+ overall RD. In real life the coach would still play the 80+ LD on the right side, but in the game they have 2 of the LD scratched, and they are playing a 77 overall RD. If I could edit the players then I would add RD as their secondary position that way they wouldn’t be scratching their good players. This is a simple fix, can you please let us edit players again?NHL 26 PRESENTATION IDEAS
