Community ManagerIt's not laziness at all. Porting the game is just one piece. Supporting it is another. Not to mention licensing. There is a very large amount of work and investment for a much smaller playerbase. Madden and FC have the playerbase to support a PC version. Hockey, being a niche sport, does not currently. We would love to have a PC version of the game. However, it also needs to be done when it makes sense. Hopefully, that happens in the future.
hockey doesnt grow from the terrible representation of the sport that EA puts out every year either, watching and playing hockey is nothing at all like playing this game
Of course it's not. Just like playing Call of Duty is nothing at all like actually being in combat.
These are videogames. Virtual representations of anything are never going to fulfill a 1:1 realism need, outside of maybe games based on cards like Poker.
The growth of the sport itself is the responsibility of those in power at the NHL, PWHL and other elite hockey organizations.
EA's 'growth' is about capturing gamers and unfortunately for the old purists, that's going to involve adding "shiny objects" to the game to entice the Fortnite generation to buy-in to a game like this.
