Been thinking a bit on the #NHL27 GM Connected news… We waited 13+ years for the return of GM Connected and after all that time, this has got to be the most barebones mode ever released. For the last few years, EA has talked about dedicating a team and resources to bringing this mode back. I think it’s fair to not have EVERY Franchise Mode feature in to start (Drafting, Developing, AI controlled teams, etc.) but to have NONE of them is crazy. It’s just impossible to believe this is 1-3 years of work. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to jump in with friends and viewers. We’ll have a ton of fun moments and great content come from it…but it’s also fair to say people will be disappointed. The community needed and deserved more. I hope this is truly the start of something great and EA continues building it into the mode we’ve all been asking for. I’m just worried that the lack of features will cause people to quit the mode entirely. Then we’ll hear about how “no one plays it” as it stops getting developer support. A proper GM Connected could be one of the most played modes in the game if done correctly. Time will tell. Let’s hope for the best.
