Sales aren't the problem trust me haha! The current issue NHL is having the player base being separated and fragmented over and over and over that everyone suffers anytime they try and implement any real serious feature or mode. Not only that but the servers can't even keep up witht the demand anyways so until they fix or redo the servers system and figure out how to Mix n match north america and Europe efficiently and apparently in their mind, cost efficiently lol because Lord knows my 79.99$ roster update won't be able to cover their salaries lol but once that's all said and done, they need to join every platform into one group.(cross platform). Thats when you should get NHL back on pc. I was originally a PCf player from 99 to 05 or 06 and even had a league being hosted right in my own house that could support up to 30 players willing to play a season like home made gm connected mode but all by hand. But gotta say the console once we needed they got eashl up and running and needed 12 players to play just 1 game was way better to accommodate then the PC at that time
Right now, and hopefully cross plat gets introduced next year and save what's left lol
