Yep, preorder site only shows PlayStation and Xbox. Huge let down EA, again.

The future of a PC version is bleak

Hoping they do come out with a PC release. Looking at steam charts for some hockey games that came out in the last few years and there is definitely a market for hockey games, both these games were free and done by independent developers.

Hey bud. Im on your side regarding bringing back a pc version. It was because of the original pc version that i got into playing. My comment about it being bleak is based on the current attitudes of this franchise, as well as the financial losses, and player reduction, that i made that comment. Now that EA may be under new ownership. Will have to see the direction they take regarding sport franchise games.

If it isn’t profitable, worth their resources and/or not due to partnership agreements they’re not going to make a PC version.
Simple as that. All companies would want their game to be able to be played on all platforms to maximize their players. Obviously EA has their reason for not making a PC version.
