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

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 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.

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

Although it hasn’t changed much from last year’s game, NHL is always so fast paced and true to the real game. I’ll give it a 9 1/2.

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
Great optics!! My grandson loves it!! He plays all day. He actually plays the sport himself so he says it helps him learn new tactics
