Crashing to dashboard on Xbox in NHL 26
I’ve been dealing with this crash for about 4 - 5 games (NHL 22 -26). I thought it might be fixed finally this year, but no. I’ve seen other reports on this and no solutions. Every 3-5 games (playing mostly HUT) the game freezes and then boots me back to the dashboard. It’s super frustrating considering there’s challenges and rewards given based on going undefeated or wins in a row. Pretty much impossible to play or get anything done in the game. I’m on Xbox series X. I’ve done factory reset, changed my camera angle, done a power cycle… none of these have worked. I don’t know what to do at this point, feels like a waste of money buying the game at this point. [CM - Minor title edit for clarity]Online Versus Feedback – Please Improve Gameplay Consistency
Hello EA, I only play Online Versus, and I really enjoy the mode. However, there are several issues that make the experience frustrating. I hope you will consider the following feedback. 1. Add an "Avoid Player" option Please give players the option to avoid being matched against specific opponents. It would make the experience much better without affecting normal matchmaking for everyone else. 2. Improve matchmaking based on connection quality Some matches are affected by freezing, lag, or unstable connections. It would be great if players with poor or unstable connections were less likely to be matched together. 3. Body checking feels extremely inconsistent This is my biggest concern. In most Online Versus games, it is difficult to land body checks because skilled players can easily avoid them. Then, every once in a while, I face an opponent who somehow lands 40–50 successful body checks in a single game. That feels completely different from every other match. Please investigate whether this could be related to gameplay balance, netcode, desynchronization, or another issue. 4. Too many injuries and excessive fatigue from body checking When one player lands an unusually high number of body checks, it often causes multiple injuries and drains the opposing team's energy. This has a huge impact on the outcome of the game and does not feel balanced or fair. 5. Goalie consistency Goalies often feel inconsistent. Some games my goalie allows very soft shots, while the opposing goalie makes multiple breakaway saves and cross-crease saves that seem almost impossible. The difference between goalies from one game to another feels too large. Final thoughts I love Online Versus and want NHL to be the best hockey game possible. I'm not accusing anyone of cheating. I'm simply asking EA to investigate these gameplay inconsistencies and improve the overall experience. Thank you for reading and for continuing to support the NHL community.
Unfair RP Loss Due to Server/Connection Error in NHL CHEL Drop-Ins
Hello, I would like to report an issue that happened to me in NHL CHEL Drop-Ins. We queued for a match as a team of 3 players. We found opponents, confirmed the match, and started loading into the game. However, during the loading process, I received notifications that my teammates had disconnected one by one. They did NOT leave intentionally — the game itself kicked them out unexpectedly. As a result, I entered the game alone, and the match was immediately canceled. The problem is that only I lost RP/points because of this. I lost exactly 952 points. My rank was Diamond 3, Bar 2, while the opponent I matched against was only Silver 1. I also have a recorded video that clearly shows this issue and proves that it was caused by the game/server and not by us. I would like to ask if it is possible to restore my lost points since this happened because of an error on your side. I can provide the video evidence if needed. Thank you very much.
WoC locker room/game search
Hi, When playing 5v5 and switching to 6v6 games, you can't find one until everyone leaves the lobby and comes back. Not sure but feels that boot need to do often. Its usually helps. And if possible add back that search setup where you can chose opponents squad size +1-2 And if you use that smaller shortcut "gear change" window it will froze and you cannot put yourself ready state. Get out and back locker room will fix that. ThanksClub - [REMOVED] glitch freeze to prevent loss
In club finals game 4, [REMOVED] . Froze the game with 32 seconds left, and then sat and waiting with just two players. Then messaged me and the other members and invited me to a PlayStation group chat and talked like crazy things trolling us. Not fair , up 2-1 in the final series and if I quit it’s 2-2 or up 3-1 after leading this game up 5-1 .
