Created Player Faces

Out of curiosity - and I’m probably not the only one curious about this - what prompted the change in customizable player face options for NHL 27?

In previous renditions, like NHL 26 (as seen in the first attached clip below), player faces at least had some sort of variety: different profiles, noses, chins, they all appeared to have different characteristics that made each of them unique.

However, in NHL 27 - they just seem… off. There’s very little variety in each one (as seen in the second clip below). They look rubbery, and all based of the exact same preset, just with minimal tweaks in each one.

I guess I’m just confused as to why this change was made. I know it’s probably not the biggest issue players have with the game right now, but still another matter that is worth addressing nevertheless.

  • Tbh, the faces are probably my biggest issue with the game, even though there are a lot of problems. The new presets either look like premature babies, brutally ugly, or nothing like the type of face I’d ever want on my athlete. Half of them look like accountants or the guy working the night shift at a gas station.

    They genuinely broke something that didn’t need fixing. The face presets were completely fine before.

    Worst NHL game in a long time, and the faces are just one of many problems.
