Suggestions to improve the EASHL experience in NHL 26 +
Hello EA Sports, I'm a Product Development Director with over 20 years of experience in the tech industry, and an expert in UX/UI. I'm also a passionate player of the NHL series, especially in EASHL mode, which I regularly enjoy with my 3 friends player team. I'd like to offer a few concrete suggestions that could significantly enhance the overall experience for your player base. Here are a few ideas that could bring high value to the community: 1. Smart reconnection via session token Currently, if a player is disconnected (network drop, crash, etc.), they are permanently removed from the match, which puts their team at a major disadvantage. Suggestion: generate a reconnection token at the beginning of the game that remains valid until the match ends. This would allow any disconnected player to rejoin the same match automatically upon relaunching the game. You could even add a notification like: “Patrick has rejoined the game!” 2. Ability to change loadout mid-match Sometimes players enter a match with the wrong build or need to adapt mid-game to the opponents' strategy. Suggestion: allow loadout changes between periods, just like a coach adjusting tactics. 3. Unique customization per loadout At the moment, all loadouts share the same name, number, helmet, and visual setup. Suggestion: let players assign individual visual customization to each loadout. This would let a player visually represent different roles (e.g. a flashy loadout for a sniper, a rugged look for a grinder, etc.). 4. Configurable AI teammate styles When playing with small teams (e.g. 2 or 3 players), the remaining teammates and goalie are controlled by AI and can sometimes behave unpredictably. Suggestion: allow players to configure the AI teammate playstyle, such as: Goalie type (butterfly, hybrid, acrobatic…) Forward or defenseman profile (offensive, playmaker, physical…) Level of aggressiveness or caution This would add a layer of strategy and control while reducing frustration caused by rigid AI behavior. Final thoughts These suggestions aim to enhance the experience for serious and engaged players, bringing more flexibility, depth, and reliability to the EASHL mode. Thank you for considering this feedback Kind regardsLost player overnight
To whoever is reading this from ea. I completed both 99 overall team builder sets for jagr and chara last night. I even used jagr as a wildcard in the wildcard mode. I logged in today to only find chara on the team and jagr is now missing. I’ve gone through support chat and have been told to wait since this could be a bug. My case got closed so I don’t know if I need to reopen a new one or post here like I was told to do. I hope this can be resolved soon because this is a big loss in progress and money. Pictures attached show I completed both sets and jagr in wildcard line up. And then last one shows only chara on the team now.
Be a pro
Can somebody please fix this or explain why this is happening? For some context: so an NHL 24 these two ability challenges seem to be broken. The challenges are quick draw, and it’s tricky from the journey begins part two for some reason it says attempt 5 one timers but I’ve attempted almost 20 one timers and it’s still on 4 out of 5 one timers. EA please fix this. image at the bottom.Be a pro bug

I’ve been waiting for somebody to fix it.Consistent input delay and lag on PS5 when playing online HUT.
I have continuously had issues with lag and input delay in almost every online game I have played in HUT. Over the months I have read many different forums from people with the same issues but still nothing has helped. I have already tried the following -Closing and restarting the game. -Powering off the PS5 before loading up the game. -Restarting the PS5 before loading up the game.Checking my internet connection and restarting the router My current setup includes - A wired internet connection with a download speed of 885 Mbps and a upload speed of 32mbps - Wired controller connection with a PlayStation certified usbc charging play cable in hopes to reduce the input delay. - 24.5in gaming monitor that has 1920x1080 picture and can run up to 240hz. As a fan who has been playing since NHL 13, I am really disappointed with how much of a problem this has been for the past like 4-5 games . I don’t know what else to try so any help is appreciated.Sliders reverting in BAP mode
On my ps5 in BAP-mode all sliders are still reverting after every game. In all other modes it works fine. The sliders make the game so much more fun and keep me enjoying season after season in franchise mode but in BAP mode it is not working. Please fix this. The game itself is the first i am really enjoying since nhl 14. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
Be a Pro Sliders revert after each game
The default gameplay sliders do not create a fun experience for me. I have found a set of sliders that make the game enjoyable. Each time I finish a game all of the sliders revert back to the default ones. I have tried creating a slider preset on the game menu, but I cannot apply those slider presets in the Be a Pro game mode either. Meaning my options are spend 1/5 of my time in game adjusting the same setting over and over or just not playing the game. Unfortunately, this bug has annoyed me to the point where I've opened the game, checked to see if the sliders were fixed, saw they weren't, and closed the game. It seems this has been an issue for years, are there any workarounds that anyone has found?
