NHL 26 from EA Vancouver delivers solid, familiar on-ice thrills—banked goals and slick passes still feel great, and the long-requested offline Ultimate Team collections finally arrive. But despite enjoying the core gameplay, the visuals haven’t kept pace: detailed rinks contrast with underwhelming player models and crowds.
All told, it’s a competent entry that keeps you entertained but doesn’t break new ground—like watching a last-second overtime win after your team’s been knocked out of the playoffs. Here’s hoping next year brings more fresh innovation.
