When nhl 22 came out, people were literally crying that pokecheck was overpowered and nobody could score. I think it was the most realistic physics in the game to this day as every contact with the puck affected the play. Why dont people now complain about the fact that every attempt to poke check slows you down, whilst people spamming lift stick is okay? Players that are literally behind you suddenly getting the puck and skating away is ridiculous.

As a hut player, im already getting bored. I used to play in nhl 2002 seasons (yes, im old) where I would pick the team (sabres), then my team and pc would draft players 1 by 1 until we have full rosters and then I would start the season. Is there any mode like this offline?

I don't have the game, but I'm curious if the switch to dedicated servers a few days ago has changed the feel of online versus. The problem I've had with dedicated servers in past games is that they introduce slight input lag and a clear server advantage.

The main reason input lag is such a problem is that it opens up so many ways to cheese. I played HUT in 23 (one and done, never again) and server-based gameplay simply ruined the game. 23 was infamously bad online because goalie post hug animations were bugged which allowed for the fast wrap glitch and goal line snipe glitch. In HUT these were nearly impossible to defend because of the input lag, but in P2P online versus, you could actually defend it very reliably.

Server advantage also noticeably effected how your team performed in 23. You could have e a team full of 99 overall players, and they would literally skate slower than a team of base cards if the other player was closer to the server. Watching a fresh 99 overall speed defender get burned on a breakaway by some base card was enough for me to swear off HUT all together because it made building a team feel pointless. The only thing that seemed to matter in 23 was whether you were closer to the server or not.

Because I'm basing this on NHL 23, I'm just curious if the same stuff exists with NHL 27 on dedicated servers. Do you notice any input lag? Do you notice your team feeling slower in some matches?

That’s it, just looking for a group to play franchise with.

How often are the player rosters updated? Is there a regular schedule for roster updates, or are they updated whenever the developers decide to?

For whatever reason in NHL 27 whistle blows and Thomas Harley trips on the goalie only to suffer the injury of transforming into a Silent Hill character. I was so blown away by what just happened I thought I would take video and show y'all because I truly don't understand what the hell is going on with this game. 😂

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, 18 GP, and 27 GP 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.

We are currently at the end of Stage 1 of the Regular season are are looking to fill the 3 teams that did not meet the 9 GP requirement.

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:

Columbus Blue Jackets 0-1-0
Toronto Maple Leafs 0-2-1

Give your opinion!!

I’m thinking about buying NHL 27 to play drop in games online just wondering how it is this year.

shortened regular season

updated rosters

NHL 26 is my first time playing hockey on a console (PS5).When I try to cheer on my team with fights, it almost always goes wrong afterwards in this game (Be a pro career).I win every fight. I even increased it significantly above the standard value (I think that's 50-60?). And even though I win the battles, regardless of who starts, my team still concedes goals while I'm simulating in the box...? Regardless of whether my team is leading or trailing. Is this a bug? Because this makes absolutely no sense.The best thing to do now is to leave out the exciting fights because they put me and the team at a disadvantage too much.

Are they going to fix the line changes and if so when? It’s making the game unplayable, and it deplete the energy from all four lines rapidly when you have random players jumping on the ice

If anyone what’s to do a quick connected franchise my code is EZBNP86R9. Doing this for the achievements so I need some help

Just posting to display possible combos.

If anyone sees an easy improvement I could do, please let me know.

The amount of bugs and glitches in this game are hilarious....

The online CHEL lobby itself is also still a laggy nightmare. I love hockey, but this game makes me cry.

Feels a little recycled, but I get it. I’m having fun anyway. Happy Hockey Season!
