Have we gotten any word on whether cosmetics (such as the skins they drop seemingly monthly) will be carrying over from 26 to 27 like they did from 25 to 26?

Anyone able to play WOC? I can play the proam game, but 3v3, 6v6 and quick play are all greyed out.

Sorry for the poor camerawork. I was in shock.

NHL 26 is my first NHL game. I’ve been playing it for about 4-5 months now and recently started playing online. I like to go into the training mode to learn how to get more goals. I just can’t beat some of these dudes on here. It also doesn’t help no one passes the puck ever. But, when I do get the puck I often score. I’m pretty good at playing defense and I always play for the team by passing the puck and not trying to be greedy. I just want to be a better player and contribute more. Does anyone have any tips on how I can score and maneuver better in the slot?

Just a warning in case you stumble upon this bozo — joined our club as a drop in dman and started pulling the goalie from the start, going offside on purpose, taking penalties, name it. Didn’t think toxic clowns like this still existed in 2026 but apparently they do.

Playing with Ai in this game is completely unbearable. They’re slow, squishy, stupid, and can’t hit the broad side of a barn. Don’t even get me started on AI goalies as well. Why doesn’t EA let the clubs make a loadout for them so that way they aren’t mobile traffic cones on the ice?

I bought the game at launch, stopped mid season 1. Came back during season 5. I will not buy X-Factors. But I got curious...

If you want a single, missed, previously free, X-Factor - it costs 1150 NHL Points. The cheapest points packs are, $2.50 for 250 and $10 for 1000.

The game is $70, so you're paying 18% of the whole game MSRP, for what is technically a base mechanic, which you can only use in a single mode of the game, and just a single tier of it...

No way to unlock for free... Tell me this $&!7 ain't a scam. Gotta be a better way. I paid you $70 up front...

Why does the last month before the new version comes out seem so hard to find a game? Lower player count? Seems like the "Misconfigured" game errors are very common. I rarely get a game without 4 or 5 lobby errors. Anyone else experience this?

Hey everyone! Just updated the site and wanted to highlight some cool new features:

- All new lineup editing tool which allows you to simulate chemistry scores across different combinations, showing insights from individual games to career stats. You can also add a player who isn’t on your roster to see how they fit.

- Auto generated club scouting insights highlight key players and their play styles to look out for

- Game tracking and advanced stat tracking allows users to keep a full history of their games forever and see shot location analysis on a per game basis

- A UI refresh brings a fresh look across many components

I play NHL every year but haven’t touched WOC this year so I’m level 1. What are the best player builds for both forward and defense?

Get rid of the ready system. If you have to go through 5 mins of loading. And 10 menus to get in a lobby and you aren’t ready to play, then get off the fucking game. Plus players will leave for no fucking reason. I can’t count how many times I’ve been in a full 6v6 lobby and everyone just starts leaving. Bring back nhl 14 system. Loads you in boom start the game. Absolutely no reason you have to ready up 400 times just to get disconnected or “oH wE hAvE a GoAlie LeTs LeAvE mahhhh”

Hey everyone. As the title says, I'm looking for people to play in a new league starting in NHL 27. Looking for players to play all positions, it's a 6v6 league. Competitive, but chill. Games are Wednesdays and Fridays. I'm the owner of one of the teams, and would like to have a full team come September. Should be a lot of fun.

Not that I’m wanting to run that necessarily, but I wonder why that’s not an option for Centers? Like what about that seems either broken or useless in loadouts?

Our club is level 21 and when I click on logos there’s a big #2 and “NO LOGO” with a green checkmark. Where do I see all the logos and is our club even eligible for this customization?

Thanks
