NHL 26 crashing when editing a 6’10” player. ( known issue )
Thought I would elaborate on this and will have video once I get my laptop back. Anyways this issue stems from NHL 24 and is still part of NHL 26 being well known throughout the community. As from reports members have said it’s a UI issue since the limit of height I capped at 6’10” In the OHL Karmanov is 7’0” in height and 278lbs weight. Because of his height differences this has caused the game to crash when editing him. This has happened with other players also which is frustrating. Unsure why if this has been an issue and it hasn’t been addressed?
Penalty Kill Faceoff Bug in Franchise Mode (No Player Taking the Draw)
Hello, I’m experiencing a recurring and game-breaking bug in Franchise Mode on NHL 26. Description of the bug: When I’m on the Penalty Kill, during the faceoff, no player from my team appears in the faceoff circle to take the draw. Because of this, it is impossible to win the faceoff. Important details: The bug happens with any team (example: Montreal Canadiens). It happens with any center (Suzuki or any other player). I have tested multiple line combinations and different players. The bug always appears starting from the 2nd game of the season. What I’ve already tried: Editing PK lines Assigning a natural center Resetting rosters Restarting the game Creating a brand-new Franchise The issue still returns every time. Request: Could you please confirm if this is a known issue, and whether a fix or patch is planned? Thank you.Players and licensing speed.
I really wish getting the contracts/licensing for AHL/NHL for players could be done sooner. It's really frustrating waiting for most of the prospects and such being added to the game. When you want to start a franchise mode or whatever. Creating them is all well and good but takes so long to update the rosters yourself. I get it's probably easier said than done but surely there must be a way to speed it up after all these year. December 1st roster and still loads of prospects and AHL guys missing.Franchise mode limit
Ik this is a small issue an not really a big one but I’m very into franchise mode and adding more seasons to the mode would be great I like to have teams I develop and sim with, the 25 year limit is frustrating when trying to retire franchise level players. Once at the limit you’re kinda just in an idle screen not able to look at anything. Hall of fame and records all seem kind of pointless in the long run ,but If you can work more seasons into future titles that would be amazing.Realistic gameplay?
After 30 hours Franchise Mode with many sliders altered the game feels quite good in terms of realistic plays in the offensive Zone. Goalies are also a lot better with angleshots and onetimers. I must say I play goalies on 100 on everything and passing assistence on 0 which makes passing so much more fun. Shooting is also up by a lot and so more realistic and fun. The Problem with BAP is that the sliders are not saving like in 25 which is very unfortunate. Fixing that and a full Junior Season before the draft would be great.
My real take on NHL 26 after a couple months of playing
Honestly, I’ve played every NHL game since ’04 and this has to be one of the worst they’ve ever made. World of Chel is fine, but when you play Franchise or Online Versus with AI teammates, the game becomes terrible. My teammates can’t get open — they just stand there like pylons. Every time I pass to them, they try to be Bobby Orr or something. And when you make a pass, the player receiving it completely loses momentum, especially when you’re on a rush. I always play with manual settings, but the passing still doesn’t go anywhere near where I aim. Stick lifts feel completely useless now — they couldn’t lift the puck off a fly, let alone actually break up a play. And when I body check someone, they get up faster than my animation finishes and immediately win the puck back again. Also, I know this change isn’t new this year, but why did they make the icon passes black? It was so much easier with the colored buttons, because now I constantly mistake square for circle. On top of that, icon passes often turn into these little unwanted saucer passes that completely ruin the play. In Franchise Mode, I don’t understand how you can’t change an interim coach back to being an assistant without firing them. It makes no sense. And somehow, my roster can’t even make the playoffs two years in a row. I know it’s sim-based, but come on — the team is not that bad. I even stopped playing Be A Pro because the AI teammates are so clueless. Every time I pass the puck, it turns into a turnover. It’s frustrating and completely breaks the experience. And finally, why does my center just stand at center ice when he doesn’t have the puck? It’s like he’s stuck there and won’t move unless I enter the offensive zone, then he suddenly joins the rush. Even though the shooting system feels better and the new goalie animations look more realistic, the game is still disappointing.
