With their full consent and active collaboration, we are using AI voice technology to expand on the 50+ recording sessions they have already completed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This process allows us to bring more variety to the game, react faster to league changes, and incorporate player feedback more quickly. Update 1 is our first step in an ongoing commitment to improve authenticity, with fixes for player-name pronunciations and repetitive lines. We will continue to expand player and city-name coverage in future updates.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The comment about fixes reflects something else Buccigross related about the process: The AI is sometimes off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were playing me back some of my AI voice, and they&#8217;re playing it like, &#8216;Score! And the crowd gets out of their chairs!'&#8221; he said. &#8220;I was like, no, they&#8217;re not chairs. I know, AI, they look like a chair, but we call them seats. Little things like that, you gotta go back and listen because those words matter in sports.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NHL 27 isn&#8217;t coming to PC (at least, there are no announced plans in that regard, and according to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NHL_(video_game_series)\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a> the series hasn&#8217;t appeared on PC since NHL 2009, when Dion Phaneuf was still with the Flames, so you can probably draw your own conclusions) but this is relevant nonetheless for the broader implications it reflects.<\/p>\n<p>EA is fairly up-front about being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/ea-ceo-talks-ai-says-the-usual-stuff-before-the-bong-rip-hits-and-he-starts-blabbing-about-a-future-where-3-billion-people-are-creating-eas-games-with-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">pro-AI<\/a>\u2014Laura Miele, EA&#8217;s president of enterprise development, said earlier this year that the advent of AI has enabled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/ea-exec-says-ai-has-helped-drive-a-real-rise-of-creativity-at-its-studios\/\" target=\"_blank\">a real rise of creativity<\/a>&#8221; at the company\u2014and there&#8217;s an expectation that EA will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/eas-new-owners-are-leaning-heavily-on-ai-to-make-some-money-and-its-huge-debt-go-away-which-seems-like-one-helluva-gamble-to-me\/\" target=\"_blank\">lean into it even harder<\/a> to help manage the massive debt load its taken on as a result of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/eas-usd55-billion-acquisition-is-the-biggest-leveraged-buyout-in-private-equity-history-heres-why-it-has-everyone-terrified\/\" target=\"_blank\">acquisition by Saudi Arabia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also none of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/1666-amsterdams-developer-says-it-wont-be-using-ai-anymore-and-the-tech-was-only-used-in-conception-and-pre-production-arguably-the-most-creative-phase-of-the-entire-process\/\" target=\"_blank\">apologetic tone<\/a> in this statement that so often accompanies <em>&#8216;yes, we used AI&#8217;<\/em> admissions: Instead, the focus is entirely on the virtues of the technology, and that EA had permission from the nominal owners of the voices to use them. In other words, EA has decided that this is the way forward, and we can expect to see generative AI play an even bigger role in its games in the future.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-ON92mW\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/ON92mW.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"c642d862-ad57-11f1-a557-27e5fc66cbf7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/electronic-arts-admits-to-using-ai-voices-in-nhl-27-this-process-allows-us-to-bring-more-variety-to-the-game.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"c642d862-ad57-11f1-a557-27e5fc66cbf7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/electronic-arts-admits-to-using-ai-voices-in-nhl-27-this-process-allows-us-to-bring-more-variety-to-the-game\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electronic Arts has copped to using &#8220;AI voice technology&#8221; in the upcoming NHL 27, saying that doing so will &#8220;bring more variety to the game&#8221; and allow it to react more quickly to changes and feedback.
