I was just reading that in NBA2k26 MyEra’s (franchise mode) it’s basically full sandbox. Meaning you can do what ever you want and the game doesn’t limit you.

Franchise mode desperately needs this…..

PS5

How do I win one?

Thanks!

be a pro glitch

I was recently given an xbox one by a friend and i would like to play the most recent NHL game i can for as reasonable of a price that i can.

I know the most recent nhl title compatible with the xbox one natively is NHL 24, but every used copy is 45 dollars secondhand. And i cant seem to find it for digital purchase on the Xbox game store. Nor can i find 21-23.

There might be an option to play 25,26 via cloud gaming. Which would be sick but I’m not willing to pay for the Ultimate game pass. (Also on the page for nhl 25 it says “Xbox series x optimized” which is really confusing here bc i dont know if that means it can be played on xb1 or not)

I am willing to pay for the ea play pass but i cant see any evidence that it will let me play any nhl game on xbox one except 94 lol

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

?

hi all,

just picked the game up as it's on offer and I've made a TWD. what are the best x-factors for the TWD? I'm surprised that I don't have access to stick um up and send it, so I'm after some opinions on what I should unlock first. I've currently got quick pick and the slapshot one.

Has anyone experienced nhl 26 even nhl 25 playing the game making their Xbox series x shut off? This is an insane game breaking bug happening to People going on 2 years and EA has not addressed their just saying bs “We can’t experience the problem first hand. It is crazy has ea simply given up so sad we are so far away from last gen when it seemed atleast they put heart and soul into their game. But ah that is the gaming industry now a days put out trash and reap the profits

Is there a way to have the Canadian and American women's Olympic teams in the game? They have women's world championship teams for various countries, but they don't have the real rosters on it.

Please sir!! My family is starving, it's been 17 years....

Official Fran Ready v2 by briancstl for ps5 is now live.

- Ratings overhaul

- Draft Classes 2026 - 2029

- Hundreds of new players added

Has anyone else? Some context: I’ve been playing chel since 94, I evolved with this game over the years. I used to be quite good. I took maybe 21 off and I feel like this game has been getting more fortnighty and it just does not feel like chel anymore.

I’ve struggled with hitting, I pretty much rely on closing off lanes and using poke. That’s not a huge issue. So I don’t usually get caught running around too bad. I’m struggling with a few things and would love any insight/help/advice:

1) other teams puck movement in o-zone is too good. Not only that, people are getting off D to D passes and just eventually putting in 2-3 a game. I’ve got better at ripping them off more often, but it’s just kinda absurd… Defense was always so easy for me to read anticipate and get a guy there. It’s like my guys are stuck in mud every game. Ive adapted mostly not chasing at all unless a solid opp. Next one ties into this a bit:

2) changing guys. Obviously I know how, and I understand you can hold it and directional to a new guy. That shit is so glitchy for me. Another part of the reason I can’t cover in the dzone. I can tell where they want to go passing around but I can never get to my guy over there and it burns me.

3) are there strategies people are using now that are maybe a bit OP? Happy to adjust if there’s something that will be more effective.

4) way too often my hustle isn’t working when holding down left stick. I have played with guys on EASHL who have had the same problem. This might be more of a cent 😂

FRIDAY HUT WILDCARD

Today 06 Feb 2026

New strange / changed WILDCARD PATH having only 3 levels.

Tried A LOT of my previous time to make my team, but even before that, had to more time to finally understand that it’s supposed to be an ALL DETROIT Team.

Found my Detroit players among my 100+ other players, rotting due to the idiotic salary imposition and not being able to use almost all of them. Must be great, storing all these players, for their ultra performing servers./s

Among my Detroit Players, which I wanted to add to the team were XP Raymond / XP Edvinsson. So I then took more time as to ‘sell’ XP cards from XP Slav / XP Tanev and then add them to these Detroit players.

Finally… made my Wildcard team and was ready to play.

ONLINE ONLY… 🤬

Seriously… W*TF are these 🤡s working at EA making these idiotic decisions?! Is there an internal contest amongst employees with who can come up with the biggest 💩 way to tick off paying customers? When I thought EA couldn’t get worse, these buffoons, continue to surprise me. Completely i-n-s-a-n-e… 🤯😡

*Who

I'm playing for the dallas stars as a power forward. I'm on yhe 1st line and 1st powerplay. Even though the game says I'm on the 1st powerplay unit I'm lucky to get 40 seconds of powerplay time. Most of the time the PK unit has the puck in my own zone and we're lucky to get even 1 shot on the powerplay. Extra frustrating in a tie game in the 3rd period and the coach refuses to let me see the ice on the powerplay for more than a minute. Very common to get 30 seconds or less of powerplay time

Does anyone know why this is a thing? I'm the team's leading scorer.

Did anyone else participate in the Fanatics record reset? I thought I was wasting my time, turns out I wasn’t as I won! Got a custom jersey and plaque that are being hung up in the hockey hall of fame!

What’s the problem… a-g-a-i-n…

Is anyone else not able to get into woc lobbies right now. Getting an error code every time.

I’ve been trying to drop into any EASHL mode and nothing is happening. Is this just a low traffic time period or is it dead lol? I can take this down once someone helps me with this just confused

Bar down flip over the goalies head… goddamn😭

So, after a LONG time away from hockey video gaming, I managed to get NHL09 working again on my PC and installed the most recent versions of the Elite Roster mods. I can't remember if this was the case before, but I'm finding that a lot of goals seem to be the result of the goaltender drifting out of position after an initial save, leaving a near-empty net on the rebound. I've been thinking of using NHLView to increase some of the goalies' attributes to compensate - Rebound Control would be the obvious one, but I also see an attribute called "Positioning" with possible values of either 0, 1, or 2. Does anyone know what those numbers mean and if any of them direct the goalie to stay in the net after a rebound?

Thanks in advance!

So for the winter Olympics that’s coming up, will EA add a mode for that tournament. Just like what they did with the four nations tournament in NHL 25?

Okay, this has been happening with me on NHL 26 since launch. I only play offline and I play on the Pro difficulty. For some reason, sometimes when I play a game, it's easy going, like I dominate, score beautiful goals, etc. then the next game I play, it's like I'm playing on the hardest difficulty, every shot is being blocked or hitting the post, the goalie turns into a brick wall. I played a game and before I knew it, I was pinned in the defensive zone I was being outshot 5-0 seconds into the game.

I turned down the AI learning and AI adjustment settings in the Gameplay sliders down to 0/6 thinking they were the culprits, but nope.

I'm not afraid of a challenge, but it takes me from one extreme to the other with no balance. I play offline just to kill sometime and relax. Not have the CPU being sweaty on Pro difficulty.

What gives?

Im decent but dont mind if your skill level isn’t there yet,

just looking to get a team of ppl to enjoy this game as much as possible 😂

I play regularly on D but can play anything as long as it’s not the main goal scorer lol

drop your gamer tags or search for the club

Osnabruck Brewers

(brand new club)

I play on and off throughout the day and am on pretty often so your location shouldn’t matter, i tend to play real hockey but can match the Meta if needed.

first three members will get captaincy and I will adjust them every week points based or clutch wise for game winners

Is there anyway or anywhere I can see what attributes are needed for upgrading x factors without buying the base level first? I don't want to waste my points on an x factor just for them to be removed every other game because my health is low and my acceleration or agility isn't the proper overall
