No NHL on PC... again

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.

I mean the sales that FC does is like 10mil+ and they want to get in on the Switch market for more sales since it's a high selling device that will soon have a new system out that is more powerful.  NHL probably sells around 1mil copies I'd assume.   Also soccer is the worlds most popular sport played everywhere so it's market is huge.

EA_AljoIt's certainly a mix of both laziness and the stuff you listed. However, I only wanted to respond to point out something that's clearly overlooked. How many players of the NHL franchise mainly play on PC but only utilize console for titles like this? My entire group of friends that play including myself keep an xbox around to simply play NHL. If this title was on PC I wouldn't even maintain having a relevant console. 

Keep telling the player base these excuses and maybe one day we'll buy into it. Maybe instead we will be blessed with the rights being revoked and picked up by another dev company that isn't so narrow minded when it comes to this.

Agreed, Literally everyone I play with we all are on PC, a few of them with older consoles after seeing reviews are not investing in a newer console just to play NHL as well. EA needs to stop beating the dead horse with feedback from NHL 09 and put out a new NHL title on PC.  EA made 7.5 billion in FY24, they can afford to put a new NHL game on PC after 16 years and if they are too worried about people modding then add an anticheat. 

Closest we got was being able to cloud play it but you need god tier wifi for it to even be stable and even then there were countless interruptions with the streaming service.

They claim they did surveys about putting it on PC but you need to sign up for their newsletter to get them. So mixed in with a bunch of useless emails would of been a survey and I can guarantee you 90% of players don't sign up for them. They can't seriously think thats the most reliable way see if there is support for it on PC.

All they need to do is put a new version of NHL on PC and they will see, and by the off chance it doesn't get support they still will make their money back from all the microtransactions they've added.

Since EA decided to not release NHL 25 for Xbox One/PS4 I'd say the support EA was allocating for upkeeping Xbox One/PS4 versions can be put into a PC version.

Unfortunately all EA cares about is money from micro-transaction Ultimate Team modes. They don’t care about what people think. They just care about the credit card warriors.

EA_Aljo It is almost like you guys just care about the money? You're other games doesnt give enough income to make NHL on PC too? Just Ultimate team give you monster amount of cash and the NHL on PC would mostly cost a fraction of what you guys make. 

Stop beeing lazy and have some passion for you're games! 

Just "share" the lisence to a Developer that wants to make a NHL game for pc, so we can play on our PC's.. stop hogging it for your self to not make it for PC.
