my be a pro in nhl 26 get rocked along side my teammate chasing the puck lol
I went against what the community was saying, and I just bought nhl 27. But nhl 26 has been more fun in comparison.

I have been playing NHl14 on my PC emulator for the last 2 months and yesterday I switched over to NHL 24. And man it felt like I downgraded by a lot. Besides all the extra fancy dekes like shoot through the legs, the Datsyuk and Michigan, and maybe the ability to pass to a certain player by clicking any of the buttons.. everything felt worse and clunky. I love the agility the players had in NHL 14 where you can cut just by gliding and using the left stick. Just being able to move the puck with the right stick felt so much cleaner then the forced toe drags the current gen gives. What's your opinion?

As title says, I’m wondering what your favourite nhl game(s) are from the ps4/xbox one era (16-24)
I’m looking to get back into these games, but having switched from Xbox to ps I’d have to buy the games all over and am wondering which ones are worth a shot first!

I play position locked regardless of mode. When I shoot the puck the cpu will perform deflections on their own, as you’d expect, however when I play with friends and shoot for deflections, even with big tipper, they just eat pucks into shins or their chest or whatever…

Do user controlled players have to manually try to deflect and if so, what is the button, and can you control where it goes directionally?

We are trying to recruit people for a league that is basically GM-connected revolving around HUT.

We have a league management app custom built. There is a ton of functionality built in and we continue to improve as time goes on.

This has been in the making since NHL 25.

I recently built a welcome page with visuals for a look into what we do. Please reach out if you’re interested in joining!

Yo is there a slider to adjust to un-stupid the AI when playing 6 man?

Like holy fking shit dudes. It's round 2, game 7, we are down by 2 with 3 minutes left.. we lose the Ozone faceoff and you mofos start pulling back instead of trying to get the puck.

One dude is on the puck and 3 players are skating backwards like hello

Wtf fam

What is this game? Is it being released on consoles October 23? How much will is cost to buy?

I haven't play NHL in a LONG time,I mean really long, back in the 90. Loved the game, then i kinda lost interest. Tried a few demos here and there but never got the skill stick. A few month back started playing ice hockey again, and I wanted to play some NHL games. I tired NHL 26 as is free with Xbox pass. nothing out of the ordinary. Tried NHL 16 since I read that latest NHL were not that good and Is crazy the difference. The graphics are not that crazy being 10+ years apart but the gameplay was so much fun. Passes were more inaccurate, shoots were stronger but miss the net a lot, goalies were more dynamic and the puck phiscs was much better. Goalies gave more rebound and not sponges as NHL 26. Could be my nostalgia talking or NHL 16 gameplay is better than 26?

I'm wondering to start a career with 16 instead of 26, I'm going to miss the current roster but beside that not sure what else i could be missing. Maybe defense, i think NHL 26 had better defense but that's it.

I'm playing Be a Pro with the Blackhawks and I’d like Bedard to remain captain for his entire career. Ideally, I’d like my player to earn an A and just stay an alternate captain alongside him.
I know you can become an alternate captain this year, but is there actually a way to avoid eventually being promoted to captain? Can you turn down the C and keep your A permanently?
Has anyone tested this? I really don’t want the game to eventually force Bedard out of the captaincy just because my player has progressed far enough.

Nothing has changed since nhl 07 just the graphics the ai is shit if not shittier

Can anybody help me out here. I use the hybrid style controls in Be a Pro in 26. All worked good in the juniors/ & preseason. Then when the actual season started ‘O’ no longer checked people, it instigated a line change.

Any idea why? Checking was just a big part of my game and I just can’t get the hang of the hit stick no matter how much I try

How do you get the puck back on the powerplay? My opponent just skates back into their own zone and wastes all the time.

I know it's probably not all that impressive but after 1157 regular season games I surpassed 2,857 Points.

I played on Superstar with both CPU and Human goalie sliders set to most difficult. (I know its impossible to make the playing against the CPU actually challenging)

I played all games except for pre-season and about 25 regular season games.

I originally started the Be A Pro with the goal of getting the Wheels X-Factor but it seems unattainable after getting traded to, and playing for every division and then playing 5 seasons for the same team it still did not give me Wheels.

I achieved this in my 15th season and currently have:

12 Stanley Cups

12 Conn Smythe's

14 Hart Trophies

14 Art Ross Trophies

14 Maurice Richard Trophies

14 Ted Lindsay Award's

1 Calder Trophy

Assumably 14 Lady Byng's and Bill Masterton's since they aren't tracked past the previous 5 years.

My current regular season statline is:

1,157 Games Played

1,551 Goals

1,307 Assists

2,858 Points

My current playoff statline is:

290 Games Played

429 Goals

312 Assists

741 Points

NHL is really the only game I play which is why I haven't got a PS5 and am still playing NHL 24. I originally planned to get a PS5 for NHL 27 once I surpassed Gretzky but I'll probably hold off since NHL 27 has looked especially glitchy so far.

My player is 32 so I guess I'll go for Gretzky's assist Record and then 4,000 points. I guess it'll force retire my at some point, but I'm not too sure.

*I will add, I did have to replay this game by force closing NHL because if the point you get to pass the record it an assist it won't play the cutscene or provided any acknowledgement of beating the record. I wanted to mention if anyone is ever close to reaching.

As the title says, I’m looking for thoughts and opinions on NHL 17 and 18 and what your preference is between the two, and also the difference between the two games.
I’ve been going back to NHL 18 now, and it feels so good in my opinion and I’m having a blast playing it. I’m thinking about purchasing NHL 17 just to do the team North America international tournament but not sure if nhl 17 is that much of a decline from 18 in hindsight.
Honest thoughts? Opinions? Comments

I’m on NHL24 for ps4…. Thinking of upgrading to a ps5 so I can play NHL26. However, I’m currently encountering the glitch where custom sliders reset to defaults after playing a game. I only play franchise mode.

I hear the glitch was still in 25…is it in 26?

What games before 24 do not have the glitch?

We have a 32 team connected franchise on chel 27 with an already completed fantasy draft and created rosters. The Season is 38 games with checks every 2 weeks for progression (stages) at 9 GP (10/8), 18 GP (10/22), and 27 GP (11/5) with the end of the season coming 11/22 since all games are available for the season in one sim. There will be a NHL jersey of your choice awarded to the Stanley cup winner and other real custom banners and trophies for other awards.

THERE WILL BE A FANTASY REDRAFT AFTER THIS SEASON ENDS.

League communication will be through discord.

PM me if you want a spot, I can give you the rosters of the available teams or any other details as well as answer any questions as well.

Available teams:

Seattle Kraken 12-5-0

I mainly play ut and 1v1’s against friends with real teams.
Last one i bought was 24.

despite all the things we like to rant about with the animations in nhl games, the fighting is one that they improved on the most and something I’ll always appreciate lol.
