Not Bad. Like previous version but a solid game. Would buy again.

Grandson plays hockey. We get him this hockey game every year.

Fun for a while, to hard to make a goal for me though.

Looks great sounds great menu has many options & relatively easy to manage Another classic delivered

NHL 26 delivers one of the most realistic and engaging hockey experiences to date. The gameplay feels smoother and more responsive than previous versions, with improved skating mechanics, tighter puck control, and smarter AI that actually adapts to how you play. Games feel faster, more physical, and closer to real NHL hockey. The presentation is a big win. Crowd reactions, arena atmosphere, and broadcast-style visuals make every game feel intense—especially during rivalry matchups and playoff moments. Player animations and goalie movements are noticeably improved, making scoring (and defending) feel more earned. Game modes like Franchise and Be a Pro continue to be strong, offering solid depth for long-term play. I also appreciate the added realism in player development and team management decisions. Online play is competitive and fun, though occasional connection or matchmaking issues still pop up. The only downside is that some features feel more refined than reinvented, and there’s room to further innovate with modes and customization. Still, NHL 26 builds well on what works and delivers a polished, authentic hockey experience. Overall, NHL 26 is a must-play for hockey fans and a strong step forward for the franchise. Highly recommended if you love fast, physical, realistic sports games.

NHL 26 offers an exciting and realistic hockey experience with impressive graphics and smooth gameplay. The controls are easy to learn, and the game is enjoyable for both new players and longtime hockey fans. It provides good entertainment value and a fun sports gaming experience. Value: Great entertainment for the price. * Quality: Excellent graphics and realistic hockey action. * Ease of Use: Easy to learn, with responsive controls.

Graphics are excellent, game controls are tough but once you practice a bit, the realism of the controls are unmatched in any hockey games. Love NHL26

I like this game very much! this is a must buy to get full experience with Hockey. Especially the new be a pro model is fantastic.

I love this game I buy every new version of the game each year it comes out

NHL 26 on PS5 feels like a true next-gen step for the series, with smoother skating, more responsive controls, and noticeably improved puck and hit physics that make games feel faster and more realistic. The visuals are crisp and polished, the arenas feel alive, and the overall presentation is one of the best the franchise has had. While goalies and AI still have a few inconsistencies, the gameplay flow, updated modes, and solid performance make NHL 26 an enjoyable and worthwhile upgrade for both casual players and longtime fans

It's your typical NHL repackaged just like every year. The ICE-Q 2.0 is a bit frustrating but overall a game I tend to enjoy.

Great game and super fun. Love the graphics and the interaction. #tusksup

I enjoy my new NHL 26 Playstation 5 games with my friends alll the time thanks to Best Buy for game.

Good game. Fun. Could have made some bigger changes, but overall it's good.

Gameplay is unreal and don't know what else to say besides it's a visual masterpiece.

grandson loves this game, great action, great graphics.

I have been waiting years for the Be a Pro to be overhauled, and this was the year! I am an offline player so this update was big for me. I also like the stats driven attributes the players have which makes it much more realistic than just an arbitrary/subjective human interpertation of the players.

Very similar to last year, only buy if on sale or haven’t bought NHL in a couple years. Gameplay is really good. Some changes to HUT and Be a Pro. Otherwise very much the same game

Awesome game. Endless days (and nights) of playing alllllll summer long. He may go through withdrawals since school started.

Absolutely enjoy the game. I always get NHL games every year and this one is so much better than the last with the updated features and ICE-Q tech.
