Game play feels very close to last year, which felt close to the previous year. Glitches, freezing, stretched face glitches, etc. Terrible and repetitive AI commentary. Connected franchise is super limited and not at all what I was expecting. Goalies can still be exploited on the same ways we’ve been doing it for years. EASHL is basically pay to win now with the micro transactions. You can pay to unlock the stats and boosters that you would normally grind for. You can’t play very many modes with your friends, which seems ridiculous in today’s world. It’s a super expensive roster update. The gameplay is slightly better (like 5%), but nothing here warrants even paying $20 for it. Wait until it’s on game pass or at least until it’s half off or more. Or if you have NHL 26 or an earlier release you like, just stay there. Some how this game looks worse than it has in years. Do not recommend.
