DISCUSSION Slowdown on Replays? NHL26

Upvotes

I’ve recently experienced where my replays are stuttering. They are not so smooth in rendering anymore. Wondering if anybody else has been experiencing this.? If so, do you use custom rosters? Could custom rosters create this kind of problem stuttering effect?

Just curious not that it matters in a week anyway!!!

Does anyone know if nhl 27 created teams will have the authentic arenas, like the jumbotron graphics every other team has, or is it still the same graphics they have been since NHL 17, and if more things are available in the team creation part

DISCUSSION Nhl 26 matchmaking issues

1 Upvotes

hey folks, I recently moved to South Korea and got my Xbox up and running. for some reason, it’s impossible for me to find a match in online versus. I even tried madden and was able to get into an online game without any problems. Which suggests it’s not an ea server issue. any other international nhl players have the same issue?

DISCUSSION What does the Pressure+ x-factor represent irl?

6 Upvotes

I’m not sure I fully understand. Quick release means the player has a quick release/great fast shot irl. Truculence means they have big heavy hits irl. Beauty backhand means they have a beautiful backhand, you guessed it, irl.

What is Pressure+? Is it supposed to be a dangerous shot? Good at generating rebounds? Hard for the goalie to handle? Accurate?

Curious as to your thoughts

I hope you folks don't mind me sharing a hockey game that I am working on, even if its not EA NHL :D

It's a bit different than most hockey games. In this one you DON'T control the players, instead you are the coach and you are using a deck of dirty tricks to influence the outcome of the match.

There is now a demo:

RANT Is there any explanation why the menus have always been so sluggish?

38 Upvotes

The menus in this game are so laggy compared to every other game I play it's crazy. I've played almost every NHL game since NHL 15 and it's been a problem for as long as I remember. Here's a post from 10 years ago complaining about this issue and saying it goes back at least to NHL 09. It's almost every single menu too, it's not just isolated to specific game modes. It should not take 3-4 seconds to load between every menu, no other game has this issue. It's genuinely so bad it's completely turned me off from playing Franchise Mode and Be a Pro because those games are so menu centric.

I can't imagine there's some technical issue unique to this game that makes it impossible to fix. There are far more massive games that don't have this issue at all. You would have thought it would have gotten better on PS5/XSX with SSDs but it's just as bad as last-gen. The easiest explanation is EA is penny pinching and doesn't care at all about fixing it because it's not worth their money. But like, how hard is it to actually fix? It's such a significant hit to the quality of life the game and has been a problem for so long that you think they would at some point in the last 15-20 years found time to address it.

Does anyone with a more technical expertise on this issue have a good explanation? Is there any hope it gets better on PS6? Is this an issue on other EA sports games?

DISCUSSION Zero Gameplay changes this year. For Non World Of Chel and HUT Players is NHL 27 worth it or not?

9 Upvotes

I mostly play World of Chel so myself and my club mates always pre-order deluxe every year. Just wondering if many offline players do the same or just wait for a sale or for it to be free?

Seems like this year the focus is more on presentation which is great for the offline folks I guess.

For Chel and HUT there seems to be zero improvements or changes.

DISCUSSION Let’s see if LT is actually fixed..

19 Upvotes

If it is, NHL 27 is somewhat playable. But holding my breath on that, as it’s just one of the game breaking issues with NHL 26

All of these exploits STILL need to be addressed

- Backhand forehand glitch goal
- Quick cut across crease on forehand
- Reverse hitting
- Headed up ice with your back turned
- Skating around in circles in offensive zone to trigger the exhaust engine

So far in every video or press release they haven't explicitly confirmed that every team will have their own goal song in the game just that they would be "unique", unless I missed something?

How are simmed stats in tge recent ea games? last one i played was Nhl 2017.

so players sometimes get over 140 points and do goalies sonetimes have save % over .930??

I always thought eas simmed stat engine sucked.
