\n\u201cSeeing the Shark Tank brought to life like that is honestly unreal,\u201d said Macklin Celebrini, NHL 27 cover athlete. \u201cThe detail the studio team put into it \u2014 from our pre-game entrance skating out through the shark head and the iconic lighting on each seat throughout the stadium to hearing our goal song every time we score \u2014 it feels exactly like being out there for a real game. They really captured the atmosphere. Sharks fans are going to load it up and feel like they\u2019re right there in the building with us, and that\u2019s pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nExperience 32 authentically represented arenas, each designed to capture the sound, spectacle, and identity of its home team. Real-world goal songs, authentic pre-game presentation, and a fully overhauled crowd bring every building closer to its real-world counterpart. Complemented by a fully refreshed commentary team featuring John Buccigross and Darren Pang, every team looks, sounds and plays like themselves from puck drop to the final horn.<\/p>\n

We know the proof is in the playing, and we cannot wait for fans to experience this game\u2019s energy for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
