@KidShowtime1867 It would be great if NHL had something like this, but... it's really only feasible for software that has constant, regular updates. For something like NHL that's released and then has minimal support it provides less value.
Should NHL move to a SAAS model? It would make sense from a customer perspective and would probably allow the devs to be more responsive to customer desires and concerns. It's just a matter of convincing the bean counters that it would result in more money coming in vs the yearly release cycle.
I'm sure there would be ways to successfully monetize a SAAS sports game, but I'm not aware of any major sports games that have gone this route. All the big ones from EA, 2K and Sony are all still stuck in yearly-release mode and there doesn't seem to be any indication that any are going to abandon that model any time soon.
