Pavol Demitra needs to be in the game

Don’t think he can be in the game because he’s no longer alive. How would they get permission/rights to use his name/likeness in the game?

Demitra is one of players, which should be add to the game. Demitra is one of players, that belongs to slovak golden generation. Now we have the following slovak players in alumni teams Peter Budaj, Zdeno Chára, Marián Hossa, Michal Handzuš and Peter Šť'astný. Hopefully we get Demitra, Gáborík, Bondra, Pálffy and Stümpel to the game in the future.

I think that KHL not could be reason, why Demitra hasn't in the game, because Jágr played three season in KHL, before than he return to NHL.

@teamunrefinedEA has done great work when they have add new alumni players to the game. Actually they have added two new slovak players to alumni teams in NHL 24. They added Zdeno Chára and Marián Hossa to the alumni teams. We have players from fourteen different countries in the alumni teams. We have players from those countries in the alumni teams: Austria [1], Canada [482], Czechia [15], Denmark [1], Finland [19], Germany [3], Kazakhstan [1], Lithuania [2], Russia [10], Slovakia [5], Sweden [33], Switzerland [1], Ukraine [1] and USA [94]. But where is the Latvian players? From Latvia has come few cult player to the NHL and they are Artūrs Irbe, Sandis Ozoliņš and Kārlis Skrastiņš.

@Juhani_91_91Chara and Hossa were already available in NHL20, 21, 22. They were just removed in NHL23 and then added back in NHL24. That said, Gaborik was also removed in NHL23 and still isn’t available in NHL24. What I meant was that EA didn’t add any net new Slovak alumni players such as Pavol Demitra, Peter Bondra, Jozef Stumpel, Zigmund Palffy, Miroslav Satan, etc. that made a significant mark in NHL and have a lot of fans even outside of their home country. I agree with the Latvian players as well, Ozolins and Irbe should be in the game.
