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 ickard FLORIDA LOS ANGELES r - away MINNESOTA MONTREAL NASHVILLE NEW JERSEY ISLANDERS RANGERS OTTAWA PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURGH SAN JOSE ST.

NHL 26 FRANCHISE MODE RIGGED GAMES
THE FORGOTTEN GAME MODE FRANCHISE MODE Playing against the computer now days is so incredibly boring, I've restarted the same game 3 times. GAME 1: I could barely get into their zone because they hit me and took the puck off me with their "sticky sticks", I lost 5-1 with 23-32 in shots… also had more time in their zone. Got mad and tuned off the game and start over again cuz i wanted to win. GAME 2: 3-0 to me in fisrt period then the computer start doing **bleep** goals that no goalie schould let in EVER!!!! third goal with 15 seconds left of the period and i lost in overtime. GAME 3: Hardly any hits, I could drive past them easily, easy to score, of course they had to score two bad goals. anyway 7-2 to me. YES KIDS i know ”lack of skills” ”blah blah blah” i know i am not very good and i play between 2-6 games per season on PRO, but isn’t this very clear and obvious that the computer decides who will win? I also noticed it with sim, my team played pretty well but after deadline my team lost 14 games in a row, same here I got mad and just turned off the console, the next time I played my team won 11 of those games. I didn't make any trades or changes during the deadline because they played really well. Goalies can often have really good save % like 92/93 until the deadline, after that they often drop to 90/91 When you start a 33 expansion and build a garbage team just to manage to get high draft picks, they often go to the finals, then you build a good team with good line chemistry.... WELL then you have the worst season in hockey history 🤦♂️ and if your team plays well the first season and you think you're going to continue next season with the EXACTLY same line up.... nope forget it, even if the players' total is better, season two won't work. Maybe I'm completely stupid and don't understand franchise mode at all even though I've been playing it for 10 years, or has EA completely ruined the game?
Serious Question about NHL 26.
I just want a yes or no answere ok followed by a release date.. No other excuses . When will the following be added to the World Of Chel store. 2025- Winter Classic/Stadium Series jerseys 2026- Winter Classic/Stadium Series jerseys Boston- (new) Home/Away Jerseys Chicagos- 3rd Black jersey and 100th anniversary jersey Colorados- 3rd Quebec jerseys Carolinas- NEW Road Jersey the new CCM skates and 4 sticks that are in offline mode but not in online world of chel store. And last The Ducks and Kings logos in World Of Chel Clubs Customization section. and will we ever get new ourdoor rinks in drop in games? or will it be the same recycled garbage we have had the last 5 yrs.?
There are no changes to the franchise mode.
The game was recently updated. However, they didn't add the Oilers' home jersey. Regarding the randomness in franchise games, where you take 30 shots and don't score at least one goal, and the AI scores at least two out of four shots, there are also issues with finishing. My players in the opposing goalie zone can't finish the puck into the empty net.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 seasonFranchise Mode needs generated headshots for prospects
I’m a longtime Franchise Mode player and wanted to bring attention to something that I think needs some attention: the lack of headshots for prospects. With more NHL prospects now playing college hockey, a large number of players in Franchise Mode show up as grey silhouette placeholders. For teams that rely on rebuilds and young cores, this means a big part of the roster looks unfinished. As someone who plays as the Blackhawks, most of my core players in Franchise are prospects or recent draft picks, and seeing so many blank icons takes away from the realism and overall presentation of the mode. Franchise is supposed to feel like you’re building a real organization, and presentation details like this matter more than people think. Other sports games have already solved this issue. Games like Madden and NBA 2K use generated in-game portraits for players without official photos. These aren’t real headshots, just engine-generated images based on the player model, but they make the experience feel much more polished. EA NHL games use these generated portraits for be a pro career players, making me wonder why it cannot be implemented into franchise mode as well. Even if licensing prevents using real photos, a generated portrait would be a huge improvement over the current grey silhouette. It would also help if headshots were updated more often instead of only using photos from the previous season. Madden updates player photos during the season and includes rookies faster, which keeps the game feeling current. Something similar would go a long way here. I know there may be licensing challenges behind the scenes, but even a non-realistic generated headshot system would make a noticeable difference for Franchise players. This feels like a small presentation change that could have a big impact on how immersive the mode feels long term.
