Community ManagerPlease read my post earlier on this page. Porting is probably the easier part. There's a lot more involved though.
Really wish EA would get around to bring the NHL series back to the PC. I owned it from nhl 95 till 2006. BUT when the frostbite engine works well on all platforms it wouldn't be that difficult to have a PC release. I don't like NFL, NBA, FIFA, UFC, F1.. Only sport EA has licensing on that I care for is NHL and making me have to buy a console to play hockey isn't happening. It's a shame because there is so much more the NHL franchise could do on a PC... ultrawide support would be awesome, true 4k resolution (not upscaled), higher res texxtures, faster frame rates, etc.. I just hope EA gets it together and releases NHL back to the PC before i'm old and have lost all senality lol
Today Madden 24 was announced and the PC version will finally be on par with the PS5/XSeries consoles. Before this year the PC version of Madden lacked features that the consoles had. So the PC version takes a bit more working things out than a simple port and we have seen so many games have awful PC ports that it's embarrassing.

That's an intriguing development actually. It signals that Madden was developed for PC/PS/XB rather than being developed for PS/XB and ported to PC.
It's a small distinction, but actually quite an important one and might point to one of the features Frostbite. The ability to develop with PC in mind versus developing and then porting.
