Will the PWHL be in NHL 25?
I’m assuming not since EA probably would have already mentioned it would be in at launch, but would there be a possibility of it being a post-launch addition?

Hey there. I don't have any details on new leagues being added. We'll just have to wait and see if any are announced.
I have my fingers crossed that the many missing Women's International Team cards (Poulin, Nurse, etc) are a sign that they're going to come in close to when the PWHL season gets underway in late November. That would be awesome. Here's to hoping! :)
Gosh I hope so, along with so many other deserving leagues that they choose not to put in. They claim "licensing" issues, however these leagues would not have a problem with being included, yes it will take a bit more money, but EA does not put much into changing things between editions, so their profit margins are likely through the roof. US minor leagues/college leagues should be included, as should a lot of European leagues. And then they choose to eliminate the KHL and pretend that they don't exist simply because they are Russian (and many of the players don't even agree with the political situation in Russia, yet are punished anyways). We have been asking for other league inclusions for a long time, but it falls on deaf ears year after year. This is the problem with a company having a monopoly on the market, it breeds complacency, which is bad for the industry and bad for the consumer. Wish I had the investments to develop a new game from the ground up, one driven by players and their wishes.
