Does This Game Justify Full Price?
Unfortunately everything I have seen about this game so far does not justify paying full price. -GM connected (or whatever it's called): an attempt, and I can appreciate that. But it's truly only 2...

They literally could've patched the presentation and announcers into NHL26 and renamed it NHL27....it's literally the same gameplay.
I am one of the more cynical of this game but I have to disagree here. I've watched some gameplay and it does seem defense got a good bump for once. Pokechecks and interceptions seem improved, L2 is certainly nerfed some (not sure to what extent until people have enough time to play) could ALL of those changes been a patch? Yes. Should they have been a patch? Also, yes. However, as little work as it likely took for them to fix those things, they will certainly change gameplay up. I actually think this year they took a step forward, albeit a small step. The A.I. does not look improved at all, at least not at first glance. I still think goalies need to be prioritized in getting the best gameplay possible. I hope WoC is the focus in the next installment, but i think we all hope our modes get attention and point to the minor changes the other modes have gotten. This year WoC mostly just got more micro transactions, not exactly what anyone had hoped for.
