Re: Why doesn’t EA care about its NHL game?

@RatedxPGxEnigma But they listened to them in past. I mean the gamechangers. This Nasher always was busy to hype the EA games in past. Interviews with real Players for EA advertisement and so on at his streams. The beginning of the end. The mission was to hype this game for online modes like Hut and other. This mision failed. When I surf through the forums and social media I see how big mass the offline gamers are. They underestimated them totaly. My point of view.

    The money is in the NFL and as long as they have their cash cow MADDEN Hockey will be secondary.

    Their cash cow is FIFA. Everything else is secondary. And then maybe NHL ☹️

    FIFA got greedy and tried to double their already insane billion dollar licensing fees so EA said no. There is never any exclusivity for sports games - anyone can make em if their pockets are deep enough

    @TTZ_Dipsy It means they lost the FIFA license and they can no longer use real Team or Player names ?

    I believe they didn’t want to pay FIFA’s exorbitant fee so EA chose to walk away. I suspect EA will just negotiate with individual leagues/teams/etc.
