Re: NHL 25 for PC

Right, I've filled that out before; but, as i recall it was a pretty lengthy questionnaire that was almost all 'Rate 1-5 how you felt about...' questions with only 1 or two sections with very small letter count text boxes for fill-in answers.  So for that, they're only polling the players that played the most recent iteration of the game.  We're trying to poll the PC playerbase that hasnt ever been able to play NHL or has been waiting 20 years to play NHL on PC again to show how large of a player base there really is.

A more targetted poll would be ideal (since people who havent played recent versions arent going to be psyched to answer 20 presentation questions about a game they havent played) but, if that poll is all we can get, is there any issue with us sharing the link in Steam forums and other pc gaming forums outside of EA's existing base?

    I believe the surveys are tied to the account they were sent to so I don't think those links can be shared.

    Could you help us out by creating an official EA short survey for this question?  Or even just a poll with the prompt of "Would you consider purchasing an EA NHL game if it were on PC"

    Those of us that are passionate about this issue will spread the link everywhere PC gamers exist to get as good of data as possible.

    Even if EA doesn't share the results of the survey it would make us feel better knowing the actual marketing research on that single question exists beyond just EA looking at threads on Reddit and EA forums.

    I'll pass on the feedback, but I doubt that will happen. As I have said many times now, we know there is interest in a PC version. You're welcome to start a petition somewhere if you like and see how many sign it.

    @EA_Aljo For a petition to work it has to be done by an influencer or EA themselves to get attention. None of us simple humans could give it enough exposure.

    @669da90c05730fe3 Survey where? Here? Barely anyone would participate. Survey on reddit is pointless, people there hate EA in general so steam would be more viable. Like using steam's hub feature "what's new" where EA can post news. Otherwise it won't get enough attention. Best way would obviously be for a bigger influencer who's a fan of NHL to start that by creating videos and building up hype.

    It sort of amazes me and is disheartening that company of the size of EA isn't willing to take a calculated risk on this. If it doesn't do well? Okay, sure, discontinue the project.

    The indie hockey games, continued love for 2004 and the project 2K Hockey Simulator and still "not viable."  Also a lot of people don't take part in these forums (or any forums for that matter), social media and the likes. 

    I guess it's off to wait until 2KHS is ready.
