Because they’re much more popular than nhl. Nhl doesn’t even sell well on console. Games like FIFA madden and nba sell more copies on day 1 than nhl will the whole year.
I'm not sure why people keep bringing up money as an issue. We are talking about a BILLION dollar company that probably 1000x their money every release. Even if they sell it at a loss every year, the money that they make from MUT, FUT, & HUT packs across all 3 major platforms would more than justify a release. Add in the addition of crossplay and the game wouldnt be so dead even on consoles every year.
- @jmawnee I personally have no idea how much NHL would make putting it on pc, I also dunno what all it takes porting it there/ ensuring players don't hack anything.. all that being said EA does not invest much at all into developing their titles. This is why they lost to 2k in basketball and keep the NFL license to ensure a company can't make a good football game. Without competition they are not gonna put many resources into developing the game..
@rsandersr47 Anyone can make a football game if they wanted, they just need to be willing to pay the NFL's crazy licensing fees to use their players
- @TTZ_Dipsy No they can't. EA's previous deal ended around 2020 from the 15yr deal they had signed. But they had signed another deal.
"Financial terms of the renewal were not disclosed. Asked for information about the extension’s length, an NFL representative confirmed to Polygon that the new contract runs for six years “starting today,” taking the agreement through May 2026."
- @rsandersr47 I'm not so sure, and like I said, they already 1000x (probably more) their money every release based on UT alone. I would bet the money from FUT alone more than triples the production costs for all 3 platforms combined.
