That is not a reasonable take on the situation. This is a quick 10 minute change being requested, it has no negative effects on anyone, and people here are stating that the one place that it could affect anyone other than the person utilizing it - ONLINE - it is already available. This seems to be the takeaway by EA over the years, but it is patronizing - it is stating that EA could provide something in demand, easily, but knows better than the consumer and so will deny it. This would make sense if there was the potential for real world harm - if they demand the actual NHL have helmetless players there is a good reason to deny the customer because real people can get severely hurt and die. However, there is no rational reason to believe this would translate into real world harm since it is virtual and we do not know these virtual players to be sentient nor alive.
The sensible thing is to make all players default to having a helmet, but allow the user to remove them. If horribly desired, EA can go above and beyond and increase the potential injuries to the helmetless players, both in frequency and severity, though no one is asking for that.
@VeronicatheCD It might not be in EA's hand at all to make it happen. Like the year they said legends would be in some offline mode and then weren't and an answer was never given as to why. Probably means they can't say blame the real NHL.
EA might get licenses to the NHL and brands but it doesn't mean they don't have limitations to them that they can't mention.
