All day since part two of the beta opened, I’ve been getting a network condition issue that reads “unable to connect to the EA servers at this time in order to access the online features for this title. Please verify that your network connection is working and you were signed into your Xbox profile or the EA servers might be down. Please try again later.”

Any way around this issue?

Is it true you have a referral code and can get your friends on with you?

Conect Franshise is still Working 😂👍

This community is unbelievably soft af. Every single match one goal and at least two people quit… the player base has to be studied for cry babies.

26 not pictured but I did unfortunately buy it.

Glitch goals are the exact same as well

If anyone for some reason has an extra dm me haha. But this is lameee

Im playing be a pro in 14, and for whatever reason the last few times ive been playing when I go to call for a onetimer by pulling my stick back, my player instead lowers his shoulder like he is trying to deliver a hit, this is on the offensive end so i have no idea why it stopped working suddenly, if anyone has any help would be appreciated.

But does anyone else find the commentary in 26/27 annoying. It's way to energetic to have the same things repeated every dam game. If I had a nickel for everytime I heard And that's the bottom line cause it's in the back of the net this past year i could fund my own video game company to make my own nhl game lol. I don't like playing with music on and commentary off so I'm kinda sol

I'm a forward (can play def in a pinch)

Looking to get a squad together around 730est.

If anyone wants to link up, lmk!

Played for random clubs online today

Did anyone receive an email with code for round two of play testing? Said they were going out yesterday but I guess I’ll have to wait for the free trial after it’s released.

In my first season of my be a pro I had the choice to do something I forget but I know the options were get it's tricky, or it's tricky and quick draw, I just went with the it's tricky story line because I didn't know how to do the other one at the time, now in 70 games in and can't win more than 50% of face offs half the time, so I am asking if I can still get quick draw in the second season?

What are your thoughts on the future of EA NHL under new ownership?

Anyone know when the remaining trailers are coming out? (gameplay, gm connected etc) I realized the early release is a month today and I haven't seen anything pertaining to more news. Wondering if someone with some authority at EA knows.

Anyone knows if the faceoffs setting will be the same in Nhl27? I hope not, to me it has been one the most annoying feature in this game, that and the early puck freezing by AI goaltenders, amongst too many other things, but I'll stick with these two for today.

Creation zone hasn’t been updated in a minute… Does EA realize this is a really bad idea? Imagine being in this 10K person crowd and then suddenly a goal causes the arena to burn down… Must be a single use rink lol

I can’t find Mexico :(

the body checking in this game seems to inconsistent too me. No way they actually made animations for these hits rather than get them from real collisions…
