NHL 27:
-Uses generative AI for the commentary
-Advertised accurate goal horns and goal songs as a selling feature. Goal horns and songs are not accurate in-game.
-Likely uses generative AI for other aspects in-game and development.
-Has the worst face scans of any NHL game I've ever seen
-Still has legacy glitches from previous gen games. Not just previous games, previous GENERATION OF CONSOLE games!
-Made EASHL pay to win by locking player attribute points and skills behind battle passes.
-Brought "back" connected franchise mode but the mode doesn't have ANY progression. Each season you play just resets teams and players.. Nobody ages. There's no entry draft. There's no fantasy draft. There's no free agency. Stats don't accumulate. Nothing matters.
-Be a Pro appears to be untouched from NHL 26.
What a disgrace. An absolute sham by @EA and @EASPORTS and @EASPORTSNHL. Ya'll are getting cooked, and deservedly so.
I prepaid $150 for Victory+ back in November because it was advertised as the home of Rangers baseball. I paid months in advance with the expectation that I'd be able to watch the entire season on my TV.
Then, in the middle of the season, the Rangers decide to move to BZZR—a service that doesn't even have a Roku app until August or possibly September.
So what are fans like me with older TVs and Roku devices supposed to do? We're told to watch on a PC, a phone, or buy a Chromecast. That's not what I paid for. I paid to watch Rangers baseball on my TV, just like I have all season.
Even worse, there was no partial refund, no credit, and no option for customers who can no longer access the service they prepaid for. You changed the product after taking our money and just expect us to deal with it.
This is a terrible way to treat loyal fans. If enough people feel the same way, make your voices heard. Contact BZZR support at [email protected] and let them know this rollout is unacceptable. Fans shouldn't have to buy new hardware in the middle of the season because the Rangers changed streaming platforms.

I hate to see @victoryplustv become the scapegoat here. So here it goes…
From a fan’s perspective, Victory+ did exactly what it promised. It gave Rangers fans an affordable, accessible way to watch games without a traditional cable subscription. The app wasn’t perfect, but it was a massive improvement over what was there before (which was nothing).
Now we’re being told the move to BZZR was “necessary.”
Maybe it was. But when one of the Rangers’ minority owners also has ties to an investment group with a stake in BZZR (Top Tier Sports), it’s fair to wonder whether this decision was driven more by business interests than by improving the fan experience.
If there’s a genuine reason Victory+ couldn’t continue, I’d love to hear it. Until then, I think Victory+ deserves a lot more credit than it’s getting.
As a lifelong Stars fan who is 29 years old.
I am really emotional about potentially watching Benn’s last game as a Star. Many younger fans think of him as a goon or heel.
I watched him usher this franchise into what it is today. He was the transition from Brenden Morrow to the juggernaut it has become.
He won an Art Ross. For a few seasons, he was up there with prime Crosby and Ovechkin.
He won Gold in 2014 with team Canada.
I understand he is a polarizing player, and deserving of criticism lately, but please understand that he is a franchise legend.
I have watched him for 17 seasons. His jersey number should never be worn in Dallas ever again.
If you retire and never wear Victory Green again.
Thank you, Jamie.
