CHL to NCAA could be a problem for the game.
With nhl26 just coming around the corner which gets usually announced in August. Does EA have anytime in getting a licensing agreement with NCAA? I just view with the all these major NCAA contacts...

Community ManagerSure, that's always possible. It might grow the game some. Which of course we always want to do. But, there's always the chance it doesn't. So, that would be a big wasted investment of time and resources. For example, a ton of work went into adding the Winter Classic years ago. That's something most people played only a couple of times. So, is all the work really worth it? For some yes, overall, probably not. It takes away from working on other, more popular, areas of the game that really make it grow.
What about a generic US University similar to the free agents sections in the transfer screen as a „league“ where you can preserve the CHL players lost to the NCAA? Would be a great way to keep atleast these or leave them on the CHL roster in the first roster update in september like you do it with the CHL to AHL guys?
