AI Defense broken
I have commented on several posts about this. My friends and I are long time NHL fans that have been playing this game from the beginning. The AI defense in CHEL has gotten worse every year for the last couple of years. This year it is plain BROKEN. I watch as players skate right around or through the defensive players. The AI players do nothing. Not a stick extension, a hit, or a movement that would cause the human player to adjust their movement. We have made adjustments to the AI set up for our Squad and this has led to nothing different. It just seems like some games they are completely broken. I have read several comments from EA responding to this and those comments just infuriate me as I am sure it does others. I have seem them saying that we should make sure that a human player is playing defense or maybe we should make sure that if we are playing offense one person should always play back. OMG. This is supposed to be the best simulation Hockey game on the market. I don't believe that a wing would play back to help defense because they are not doing their job. Please fix this. It gets worse every year and this year is the absolute worse. There are human players that just make this their goal in the game. Skate down the side or right up the middle past the broken AI (cherry picking) and score easily. IT takes the simulation out of the game and makes it an ARCADE game. This is not what we are paying for. FIX the game. I know you are short staffed. Maybe take somebody off of the pack market and put them on this fix. Please, from all of the loyal NHL fans, fix this issue! [CM edit - CAPS]
CHEL computer defense
Please fix the computer defense in CHEL. So many posts about the terrible play of ai defense in chel. Glitch goals galore, momentum on stupid defense giving up turnovers in the zone, getting constantly burned for breakaway glitch goals, terrible decision making scoring on your own goal even if they skate close to the goalie, and crazy uneven match making. So frustrating! Want to play this game and have fun with friends online with our team, but after a few tries same thing happens...we get frustrated yelling at the computer D and a go to another game.EASHL AI worst I've seen in Years
Idk what EA has done but this years EASHL AI is the absolute worse I've ever seen. The defensive AI is constantly out of position, always leaves the defence even when set to stay back and defend. Always caught flat footed, delayed passing when asking for it. Delayed reactions when looking for an open player to pass to which then creates turnovers because the AI just looks blankly into space, gets hit and turns it over in the defensive zone which 9 times out of 10 leads to a goal. Something has to be adjusted hereWorld of Chel Bugs
Tried to load into 4 games, in 2 of them im ready to advance once a team is found, and then it says other players advanced without me and leaves me ready by myself while other teammates advance and play the game. Very glitchy. Additionally, when you finally get in, you loose connection or it crashes and boots you to the main menu. Even tho my wifi connection is perfectly fine, then again played my forth game, played maybe 40 seconds and then everyone lost connection. And so waited like 20 mins from restarting my game, loading into new rounds, joining my friends lobby, and its just waste of time. EA is greedy, and have the worst connection and bugs, I have seen in a while. Please address this or lmk if you have the same issues. Also TOTY in hut worst event I have seen in a while.NHL 26 Crashes and Sends me to Xbox Home Screen
The last two NHL games (25’ and 26’) seem to have issues with randomly crashing. It’s been while I am playing offline in Be A Pro, and also online when I will play Online Versus with my brother. It is very frustrating because I lose all progress and feel like I am wasting my time even playing this game. Most recently, my brother and I were trying to play on the same team as the Colorado Avalanche in LA against the Kings…. 5 games in a row it randomly crashed and we just gave up playing for the night. I am in the World Juniors in Be A Pro… game 1 semi-finals… crashed twice. After finally finishing the semi-final, I have tried playing the championship game 3 times…. you guessed it, crashed. What is the deal with this happening soooo much? I have done the hard resets on my console, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Nothing has changed. Why would I ever pay for another NHL game if I know it is just gonna keep happening and EA isn't going to do anything fix it?Loss in EASHL when opponent quits/disconnects
My team was up 10-3 against a team in 3s Elite Cup when they finally decided to leave the game. After they quit, we were given a loss. This would have put our run at 16-0 and we approximately lost 600 RP each. Can provide details on game if necessary but this is frustrating and the second time it's happened.EASHL logo isn't showing up in club customization
My team has grinded to unlock the tiki mask logo (shows up as logo #108 in our club bag), but it's not there at all. It's been hours since we've played, and it's not in our newly acquired section or general custom logos, and a different dragon logo we have is labelled as #108 instead. We were curious if there is anything that can be done about this, because the tiki mask logo is really important to us. Thanks in advance!
