Profanity Filter NHL 21 [ Edited ]

[BeefNoodlez99]

Hello, 

My last name, ‘Demers’, does not work, I have tried putting it as post my first and last name and both times it’s been flagged as profane.

It’s weird because Demers is literally a play by play name I can use.

Unfortunately, it’s not exactly your name that’s the issue. The profanity filter has to take into account certain groupings of letters and doesn’t allow them even if it’s an acceptable name involved. So in this case, it may be the “emers” that is in the filter for example (I’m not sure exactly what it is triggering the filter).
Hopefully there will be more sophisticated filter tech that EA can incorporate one day.
