Community ManagerI don't have that date. It's after the team photo day and before the game launches.
Sorry that can not be. Original headshot pictures from all new rookies like Leonard, Perreault. Demidov and more are now in at NHL com. Thats the official NHL site. You need only to ask for permission. If you dont have they could send, or you can copy from the site after getting permission. They even will be not in NHL 26 game, cause it was every year the same process in your game not to include. For example. Celebrini, Cutter Gauthier entering the league with first games one year ago in April, had official pics in NHL com exactly same time when played their first games 2024, April. Why arent their pictures not in NHL 25 ?

It's not as simple as asking permission. There is a lot more involved. We use every image we're legally able to use. We can't just copy images from websites and put them in the game.
What is more involved like is it money wise? Like how much does it cost to do all of it. Like why isn’t the Rangers horn not even barley in the game and just with in play now. I think you guys should negotiate with MSG on it.
