EA NHL 26 FRANCHISE MODE NEED…
33 expansion should start a year later, allowing us to find and hire coaches and scouts, and then we would always have had new players when we start the expansion. If we could replace the AHL team when we start expansion, we could have created ready-made AHL teams for our expansion teams. I tend to change teams every now and then, and then I don't have to redo the entire AHL team Animated profile picture for players without a picture... incredibly confusing in 2035 when you don't recognize any players on the team... becomes impersonal and boring Let us change the height/weight and age of players when editing existing players. PLEASE!!!! remove alumni behind old teams like Nordiques, Whalers and North Stars so we can use them in Expansion without them looking stupid (also fix their arenas and audiences) Hope we can get some new team logos and goalie masks without other teams' logos on them. A little tired of hamburger and hot dog logos… Give us some cool onesGM connected vs HUT
I'm curious if HUT is the reason we aren't seeing GM connected.. would an online franchise pull from that population? I have never got into Franchise, if GM connected was added I may try it, but I got college football and all my friends were excited to get a dynasty going and we played a few seasons but with all of us having diff schedules, jobs, kids, wives.. it became so hard to get everyone to play their games and we gave up. I started playing UT and just telling everyone "we can have an 84 ovr team" seemed easier to get a tournement going and let everyone build their teams whennthey have time rather tahn get everyone on every night to progress. With the new salary cap mode in HUT it feels like a great change. Of course if they roll out with a 99 ovr chara that is 3mil cap and creates an even bigger gap in team ovr it could ruin everything HAHA! Is it the drafting and stuff that people like in franchise? The stat tracking? Just curious what you guys like about GM connected. UT with a salary cap seems like it COULD be a bigger win to me than gm connected (that's just me though) maybe I'm missing out on franchise mode? Maybe I don't know why HUT is awful? Haha (sorry, I mostly only play WoC so I'm genuinely unsure and asking)
NCAA Players in Franchise
What can we expect for the CHL players that will be playing NCAA this upcoming season? Will they be in franchise mode? Please be transparent about this. It will be much easier to digest with transparency than to open up the game and find out they are not in the game. Thanks
KHL26 Roster file for Xbox Series X
With NHL 26, I will release for the fifth year in a row the KHL roster file for Xbox Series X. Every player, every team, every mascot, updated goalie equipment to resemble coming season gears. Attributes backed by real KHL data. KHL 26 powered by creation zone comes in 2025!An Eck video for the EANHL player base, minimums and an opinion
https://youtu.be/MxynBDiD_SU?si=ce-ZYo5muxbGS89J “Hopefully they’ve been using the 4 years where they haven’t touched career mode to put together something cool, but I guess we’ll see” 26 bare minimums check list: ✅ WOC clubs Matchmaking settings (match room size & best game location) ✅Faster franchise hub/menu ✅New Career mode, doesn’t even need a massive change to make an insane difference since you’ve had the same career mode for multiple releases straight ✅Scaled back HUT efforts (especially early on) to properly address bugs in your new game on a timeline that at least somewhat matches the price point ✅COMPLETE REMOVAL or EXTREMELY LESS FREQUENT bugs that have been in EANHL games since 16? 17? (Load out glitch, dead dressing room glitch, repeated puck drop into the game ending before it even starts etc.) You can check off every box and you’re basically just fixing NHL 25. And NHL 24. 23 as well… PERSONAL OPINION: Doubling down on X-factors is the wrong move IMO. I’ll always fight for a skill based hockey video game and X-factors don’t support that. X-Factors should be limited to drop-ins and live event modes, like 3’s eliminator, one’s eliminator etc. This means EA will have to start separating drop-in stats from club stats, and honestly why aren’t they already? Players go to drops and stat pad and no one can tell the difference, they can even get an elite rank from drop-in games and have that same rank in clubs without playing a single club game. It’s not uncommon to see elites that play like high golds/low plats and that’s a problem when it comes to LFG/filling your lineup.
Franchise
I did not see much if any changes or improvements to Franchise mode. I am glad that be a pro is getting an update but where is the love for Franchise mode. I want it to be more customizable like it is with HLM 25. Give us the ability to create and edit draft classes, full editing of players at any time, force trades, force signings, no staff salary cap limits, no player cap limit, force wins, no need for scouting where you already know everything about every player without scouting them. A lot of these options are already in Madden, college football, and FC plus NBA 2k25 so why not NHL. I want to play NHL 26 any way that I want to no matter how unrealistic that it is. Let us play our way as it is an offline more where it dows not affect anyone else. Please improve Francise mode.
