Post Update finds

Still a little disappointed after the first update…

The jerseys are definitely not clipping through the equipment/pants as much as before, but it is still happening. It seems to happen more in some situations than others, and it is especially noticeable when players are wearing white away jerseys.

Sticks and hands still going through eachother like crazy, more than before.

Another example is when the camera zooms in on a winger in the faceoff circle and he has his stick resting vertically against his pants. The stick can still clip through the pants. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a picture of that one.

It is also still impossible to remove neck guards. If a player has a neck guard equipped by default, there is no way to remove it.

It’s great that you added Gavin McKenna! But where is Cole Eiserman? He actually played 12 AHL games last season and currently has an active NHL contract, just like the other players who are included. His absence is honestly very confusing.

It is also really disappointing to see that McKenna still has his “AI scan” from last year, especially considering that you literally promoted him by saying: “Gavin McKenna getting scanned into NHL 27 👀” among others that im 100% sure of that we wont see until next year, if ever, bummer.

That is a disappointment.

There are also no new face scans or updated appearances for players such as Trevor Connelly, Carter Bear, and others. That is unfortunate to see.

Sam O’Reilly (Head 172, Eyecolor Brown, Brows 7, Color black, Hair 26, Color Darkbrown)

Liam Pue (Head 140, Eyecolor Brown, Brows 2, Color lightbrun, Hair 56, Color Darkbrown)

Hope to see these 4 in next update/patch🤞🏻…..

And as we know, never any new scans added after launch, so this is what we have to work with for the rest of the year…

The CCM Super Tacks X helmet and the Bauer helmets have also unfortunately been changed for the worse and butchered, again.

I’ve been waiting for three years for players such as Kasperi Kapanen and Alexander Holtz to no longer have XXXL-looking helmets, and you actually fixed that! The hair was cut slightly on the sides, but the helmet size and fitment were perfect. The hair also wasn’t clipping through the helmet during gameplay , it was only an issue in customization. In gameplay, the helmet actually looked perfect.

Although the hair clipped through on the sides in customization,, the fitment and size was perfect, sad to see every helmet had to change and now it looks very silly and unrealistic on many players instead of fixing the individual players experiencing these problems.

Now, however, it once again looks too large, too wide, and compressed.

The “AI scans” also seem to contribute to this issue. With players such as Holtz, McNabb, Whitecloud, Zub, Kapanen, etc., their heads end up looking very round and large. This makes the helmets sit strangely on their heads, which in turn makes the helmets look far too large and unrealistic.

The Bauer helmets have also become very compressed and tall after this fix. Unfortunately, they don’t look right…

The overall result starts to look more like an arcade game rather than the realistic player likeness and equipment presentation that NHL is capable of delivering.

It feels like the same old story and the same disappointment once again this year for people who really care about player likeness and visual authenticity in the game.

I’m not bringing this up just to complain. These details genuinely matter to a lot of players who care about authenticity, and I hope the team can take another look at these issues.

Please forward this feedback to the appropriate team. Thank you.EA_Aljo​
