Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Players get avatars. Avatars get complaints. Complaints get shared. Shared gets mocked.
EA Sports keeps making the same game. Players keep getting upset. Fans keep laughing.
It’s not a flaw. It’s a feature. Or a bug. Or a joke.
Players are more annoyed by their digital doppelgängers than their actual opponents.

EA Sports’ Annual Update: Same Game, New Avatar Complaints
EA Sports has been releasing an NHL game every year since 1991, and this year’s version, NHL 27, was no different. The game was released on September 11 and included minor upgrades like new goal songs and a “next gen crowd.” Players like Cole Caufield were not impressed with their avatars, which were criticized for looking off or unflattering.
Some players, like Macklin Celebrini and Jack Hughes, were satisfied with their digital representations, but others, like Frank Nazar and Matty Benier, had issues. Nazar initially called his avatar “horrible” but later softened his stance, while Benier was upset about the amount of grey in his hair.
Cole Caufield was one of the most vocal critics, saying his avatar looked “a little lost” and “like I saw a ghost.” He also mentioned that he constantly received messages about it from others. Jack Hughes confirmed that Caufield’s avatar was not “picture-perfect.”
Trevor Zegras admitted to sending Caufield messages about his avatar, calling it “awful.” The post on BroBible highlights how players are reacting to their digital counterparts, with some finding it amusing and others finding it frustrating.
