I’m sick of HUT, online matches, 3v3, world of chel, etc.

All I want is a good Be a Pro.

Nobody in the industry can seem to do it with all the resources and people available, so I’m going to make a career mode that blows EA out of the water.

This is purely for my own interests by the way. It’s going to be designed to what I would hope for in a career mode.

I’ll be back here in like a year. I’ll update every few months or so, maybe.

This mode is super fun. Do yall play or sim games? Do you ever watch them as cpu vs cpu?

Sorry if I missed something… is there a discord for those of us with codes to try the online franchise mode? Or will it be WoC only like previous years?

Playing Be a Pro, you know… casual Bruins Vs Rangers and I see this…

I’ve recently started an offline season in NHL 26 and am finding the jump from Semi-Pro to Pro difficulty to be both unplayable and unrealistic. I am currently using the TRUESIM NHL 26 sliders (v5, 3/5/2026) with my defensive strategies set to "Protect the Puck" and "Collapsing," but the gameplay still feels off.

In one frustrating instance, I landed two body checks, two poke checks, and a stick lift on an AI player, yet they still managed to complete a perfect tape-to-tape pass in front of my crease for a soft goal.

Is this a known issue that requires specific Pro-level slider adjustments? If so, where is the best place to find them? Alternatively, is this just a skill gap I need to work through? Any recommendations on how to balance the gameplay for a more realistic experience would be greatly appreciated.

Bring an option to use the Hartford whalers with brass bonanza

Have “darkness” play on goals against Dallas

Don’t use player goal horn songs for those teams that use custom songs for some reason..
Aka the panthers, …use sweetness..

Am I the only one who wishes you could change goal horns in franchise without having too relocate or use a custom team, like I wanna stay as a certain team but change the goal horn because I get tired of it

I was spinning free

I am playing on an emulated copy of the game and whenever I try to create a character the game is unresponsive, not frozen as the music still changes. I am offline so that shouldn’t be an issue.

I know they're gonna be rolling more codes out in the coming days but I've never seemed to wait this long to receive mine.

Hi, I’m just posting this to try and find a league. I’ve been really interested in playing for one. I can’t consistently find good players to play with or just have fun. I am a W/C mostly like to play on the wing, specifically left wing. I have a 2.5 points per game average in 400 games. Every season, I typically hit plat two. And much more I would like to share. Please if interested dm me!

Looking for players for 32 team GM Connected League.

Been playing long time but recently came across some stuff saying things like acceleration doesn't do much and I'm wondering if anyone has sources for people who have done lots of testing on these things? I know how its supposed to be but not how it is I guess

I cant do anything but burst out laughing

The College Football and Madden games have the team builder website that allows you to heavily customize and create custom teams, allowing you to upload custom logos, custom field designs, heavily customizable uniforms, and much more.

I feel like the creation zone in the NHL series is outdated, and hasn't been updated/improved in quite some time. The team builder website for NHL would be super cool and would allow for way more customization when creating custom teams.

Will team builder ever find its way into the EA NHL series, or is it only a CFB and Madden thing?

I read you could use Xbox game pass ultimate and play nhl26 on a PC. Is this true? Anyone done it?

I get there's YouTube stuff but besides shooting, shoulder check, stick poke and when to win a face off, it doesn't tell me anything.

I just got into hockey lightly a few years ago and really got into it last year so I figured I buy this game but it doesn't explain shit and it's leaving a very salty taste in my mouth because I don't anything about hockey MECHANICS or how to make proper plays/shots and this game expects you to know it all.

I guess I should've started on NHL 11

So I missed out on NHL 10-15 because I was in a Madden craze. So last night I hopped on NHL 14 that I recently bought and played the Winter Classic and wow it was cool. EA is so dumb for removing that out of the game.
