Being in the NHLPA doesn't give us the rights to use every player. We still need their individual authorization.

That’s not what I was saying, but it’s really not important.

What I meant was a lot of time when athletes turn pro, I think they sign a likeness agreement with their union that allows them to be used in a bunch of different things like ads/promotions and not have to sign 100 different contracts. I was surprised being part of the EA game wasn’t included in that agreement was all.

Licensing is a complicated issue. I assure you though, we do all we can to get as many players in the game as possible. If they aren't there, chances are excellent it's a licensing issue that we don't have control over.

Would love to see us have access to college/university players, hate that they just don't ever show up in the game. I have the same issue with no KHL access in the game, we scout Russia, but we can't access the KHL?

I figured licensing was the reason behind no KHL or NCAA access. Is it not possible to reach a licensing agreement, or is there more underlying issues?

Would love to hear an answer to this question.  NCAA is sending tons of talent to the NHL right now..  I'd buy the game again if NCAA is included.  Until then, gameplay isn't good enough to make it worthwhile.

It's possible NCAA teams/players could be added at some point in the future. Currently though, we don't have any news on this. We'll just have to wait and see if it happens.
