Awful

This game is terrible. Made realistic trades/improvements to my team and became the beat rated team on Franchise mode but continually lose to much worse teams every game. It’s like the goal for game programming is for me to lose every game. The opposing goalie ALWAYS has way better save percentage than my elite goalie and the opposing team ALWAYS gets the puck along boards even when two of my players are there battling also. Also, the opposing team is always able to get rebound shots around the goalie yet my team gets one shot and turns puck over. Beyond frustrating and wish I could get a refund for my wasted purchase. I will never buy another NHL game.

Play like a superstar in EA SPORTS NHL® 26. That starts with ICE-Q 2.0, now powered by NHL EDGE data, so your favorite superstars think, move, and play like their on-ice selves. That includes data-informed Attributes and Tendencies which make star players perform in true-to-life fashion, with their playstyles and decision-making game-aware and impactful. A fine-tuned and enhanced arsenal of 28 X-Factors spans five different categories and is driven by unique animations, tactical gameplay outcomes, and tiers of impact, turning each into a formidable on-ice weapon. Superstars now truly feel like superstars.

The all-new Goalie Crease Control System brings an upgraded awareness between the posts with new close-range and reflex saves that allow for readjustments in reaction to puck deflections, poke checks, and improved AI positioning, giving goalies increased control over the blue paint. In a redesigned Be A Pro mode, each choice you make impacts your career, as you live out the authentic hockey journey from rookie to superstar, with fresh storylines, characters, challenges, and cut scenes.

It’s time to show out and tell the world to Check My Game.

This game includes optional in-game purchases of virtual currency that can be used to acquire virtual in-game items, including a random selection of virtual in-game items.
