I know it's probably not all that impressive but after 1157 regular season games I surpassed 2,857 Points.

I played on Superstar with both CPU and Human goalie sliders set to most difficult. (I know its impossible to make the playing against the CPU actually challenging)

I played all games except for pre-season and about 25 regular season games.

I originally started the Be A Pro with the goal of getting the Wheels X-Factor but it seems unattainable after getting traded to, and playing for every division and then playing 5 seasons for the same team it still did not give me Wheels.

I achieved this in my 15th season and currently have:

12 Stanley Cups

12 Conn Smythe's

14 Hart Trophies

14 Art Ross Trophies

14 Maurice Richard Trophies

14 Ted Lindsay Award's

1 Calder Trophy

Assumably 14 Lady Byng's and Bill Masterton's since they aren't tracked past the previous 5 years.

My current regular season statline is:

1,157 Games Played

1,551 Goals

1,307 Assists

2,858 Points

My current playoff statline is:

290 Games Played

429 Goals

312 Assists

741 Points

NHL is really the only game I play which is why I haven't got a PS5 and am still playing NHL 24. I originally planned to get a PS5 for NHL 27 once I surpassed Gretzky but I'll probably hold off since NHL 27 has looked especially glitchy so far.

My player is 32 so I guess I'll go for Gretzky's assist Record and then 4,000 points. I guess it'll force retire my at some point, but I'm not too sure.

*I will add, I did have to replay this game by force closing NHL because if the point you get to pass the record it an assist it won't play the cutscene or provided any acknowledgement of beating the record. I wanted to mention if anyone is ever close to reaching.

despite all the things we like to rant about with the animations in nhl games, the fighting is one that they improved on the most and something I’ll always appreciate lol.

Hey everyone looking for 2 players to join our league. We are currently in season 2, great group of guys. If you’re looking for an easy going place to get some games in hit us up on discord.

Cheers 🍻

Is there a way to edit rosters/player movement/the draft once you start a new franchise? I downloaded a recent custom roster, but guys like McKenna/Stenberg/Bjork are still in junior/international, and it says they are too young to be added to an NHL/AHL team in the roster customization.

This guy was calling the goalie out and making own goals. How can we stop this from continuing to happen???

We have a 32 team connected franchise on chel 27 with an already completed fantasy draft and created rosters. The Season is 38 games with checks every 2 weeks for progression (stages) at 9 GP (10/8), 18 GP (10/22), and 27 GP (11/5) with the end of the season coming 11/22 since all games are available for the season in one sim. There will be a NHL jersey of your choice awarded to the Stanley cup winner and other real custom banners and trophies for other awards.

We are currently at the end of Stage 1 of the Regular season and are looking to fill 2 teams to finish out the regular season.

THERE WILL BE A FANTASY REDRAFT AFTER THIS SEASON ENDS.

League communication will be through discord.

PM me if you want a spot, I can give you the rosters of the available teams or any other details as well as answer any questions as well.

Available teams:

Seattle Kraken 12-5-0

Toronto Maple Leafs 3-11-2

Real question guys, ive been playing for a couple years now, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong when it comes to passing in 27. Every time I try to do a quick pass it goes flying (usually going high) and ive plated around with it in practice and it feels correct when im playing, but it always goes the wrong way. Any suggestions would be helpful, its getting really frustrating to work yourself into a perfect one-timer spot and watch the puck go the wrong way.

This is not your vanilla connected league. The commish goes over and above to bring you the closest GM Connected experience that EA didn't want you to have. See for yourself, we have 2 open teams, and a few more managers I'd be fine replacing with an active member.

This game is so incredibly hard, not the actual game itself but the inputs. I can't figure what I'm doing, looking at the stick movements gives me a headache. Why is there not a tutorial or something that teaches you what all the inputs do, I don't even know where to begin.

Really unfortunate, I was excited to play but after about 4 hours of just trying to understand the game in free skate I just gave up. What a shame, add a tutorial mode for new players EA.

Happy Thanksgiving folks.

We are trying to recruit people for a league that is basically GM-connected revolving around HUT.

We have a league management app custom built. There is a ton of functionality built in and we continue to improve as time goes on.

This has been in the making since NHL 25.

I recently built a welcome page with visuals for a look into what we do. Please reach out if you’re interested in joining!

Picked a fight with Stu and got dropped by him 😂

I know the complaints about BaP is well-trod territory here, but I haven't seen as much about late game BaP. Despite all my frustrations with the mode, I actually played through my ELC for the first time in like 10 years and the mode straight up does not function for this lol. Not the typical "the mode is stale and hasn't changed", I mean it straight up doesn't work and I don't think it gets noticed because almost nobody plays it that long. Here's a summary of where I'm at and the, frankly ridiculous issues.

For my contract year I didn't have to play preseason to make the team, which made sense and made me optimistic because I was already a 65pt nhl player. I had a near perfect contract year and won every trophy (except selke) AND the Stanley cup. Here's what happened that offseason

CONTRACT

I knew there weren't contract negotiations, but I was at least excited to get what should be a near max contract because I was 97 OVR and MVP last season. I didn't get any notifications so I check my contract during the next preseason....it auto-renewed a rookie contract for 1 year $850K...

SALARY PERKS

Through sponsorships I was able to buy some of those big salary perks that give you trait and x factor points. They cost 1-4mill and last a year. You would think "oh I buy that every year and can get an extra couple trait points every year". Nope. You get those extra perk points when you first buy it, but then you have to renew it every year or you LOSE PERK POINTS. So you pay 4mill to get 6 xfacrir and trait points and then next year you have to pay another 4 mill and gain nothing extra or not renew it an LOSE 6 xfactor and trait points. This simply cannot be how it's supposed to work.

PRESEASON

This is the one that made me actually put it down and make this post. So like I said, I'm a 97 OVR player who just swept all the trophies and won the Cup. They made me play the preseason again for some reason, which is dumb, but should be easy enough to hit the tasks. So the part that everyone knows is really bad happened to me and I simmed it and missed the Form by like 2 pts and then got sent to the ahl as the reigning MVP. Obviously this is so dumb it's insane, but not the worst part. I reloaded a save from right before preseason and simmed again to meet the tasks. So I complete all the preseason tasks successfully and THEY PUT ME BACK ON THE THIRD LINE LIKE I JUST STARTED THE MODE. This is only possible by literally not being paid attention to. Like that's me being charitable, how else is that possible? Like I dominate the league AND meet all the tasks, but it restarts me as if I was just drafted.

I don't ever even see these issues talked about because I legitimately think nobody else plays the gamemode long enough. I didn't until this run. These arent just "the progression system isn't fun" issues (which is also a problem). These are issues that exist as if nobody ever designed the mode to be played more than 1 or 2 seasons. Really egregious for having a "revamp" last year

This is mostly a vent, but has anybody else actually done BaP past a couple seasons?
