Summary
The new NHL game’s launch is brewing controversy—player models look like they were scanned in the dark, with even Connor McDavid looking like he got hit by a Zamboni. Fans are furious, recalling when the series innovated with features like the hit stick, now replaced by stagnant gameplay and cash-grab microtransactions. With EA Play offering a 10-hour trial before the official September 11 release—and EA raking in over a billion dollars last year—it’s hard not to question if this franchise can ever recapture its former spark or if we’re doomed to roster updates and wonky faces for years to come.
