18th year without a PC release - NHL 27

“Millions”?!?!?!?

Incorrect!  You’re over exaggerating just a wee bit.  😆

Give it to this PC crowd for being persistent though for something that hasn’t happened in years and probably several more to come maybe even never again.  Think about it people!  If EA could make money and/or have it worth their while to make a PC version don’t you think they would?!?!?!?  There are also other possibilities and/or other factors (contractual etc) why they haven’t made a PC version in over 10 years plus.  EA ideally/probably would love all their games on all platforms but they obviously have their reasons why.  

[Edit - CM]  You have millions of fans that want a native release on PC for years now.  Consoles will soon be running Windows natively (XBOX) and you now have no excuse to launch a game for PC.  You control the rights to the NHL and folks like us who have PC's are forced to mod old versions of the game to make content relevant.  There are millions of fans who want to enjoy NHL in 4k natively and you disappoint year after year.  Create a game and see what the market even looks like instead of telling people that Fifa and Madden are the only sports that make money (not true).  Worst thing that happens is the community would enhance the game further to give the developers some new ideas for a change.  What will you add this year 3d reflections on the ice.   You are missing out on the biggest community there is for money so just help me understand why you hate the fans so much?  If your worried about hacking just do what you did with Battlefield to prevent cheating (Javelin).  Just give the people what they want. Cloud gaming is not the future and is a lag disaster.  Folks spend thousands of dollars to run 5090's and top tier gaming setups and want to play their favorite sports in 4k.  You instead don't want to give the fans what they want and enjoy hearing the fans beg year after year.  In all honesty if you don't create something I hope 2k sports buys the rights and does something with it because this monopoly on sports is really becoming a detractor for your organization.

I'm waiting for the game on PC

Hey there. I merged your thread with the ongoing discussion on this issue. Thanks!

Hello dear community and EA Sports,I want to just say that why can't NHL 26 be on PC. Many of my friend does have playstation or xbox when I have pc. I love to play with and against my friends and especially play world of chel (eashl) together. Other games like madden,fc is on pc but why can't NHL also be there so we hockey fans who has a pc could enjoy and play together with our friends. 

There was a PC game, and it can drive a car by now.

I can recall years ago, when this game was available to be played on your computer. I also remember back then, there was a programmer who made available. All the teams gloves, goalie equipment, and every rink was detailed like that particular arena. Board advertisements and all. But what was also available was, proper player face packs. It is in this remembrance of the game of old, that I find it perplexing, that this development team. Cant put out proper face packs, and in some instances. No face plate at all. EA touts this game as being the next thing to the real thing. I don't recall seeing players with no faces in the NHL. If an individual gamer/programmer can put out that which i mentioned. Why can't this team of developers do the same. And why they removed the game from being accessible on your computer is another thoughtless move.

https://chng.it/4jyxryknqz there is a petition to EA to make NHL games on PC

EA, we need specific dates and news about the development of NHL games on PC. If you have any requirements for the community, such as petitions or smth similar we can organize them. Tell us what you need to release an NHL game on PC and your conditions and requirements. We`re tired of waiting it for over 17 years. Just tell us some news about PC version and how we can prove that we need PC version of NHL game

I know, I know, every year someone ask this. But if we want to have hope, we at least need to make it known that there are people that are just waiting for that. 

Maybe, just maybe EA will try to poll players instead of just saying there is not enough player to see if there is maybe a community on PC that would be big enough to port it! 

But anyway! Would love to play that game I'm a big NHL fan (both the sport and the game) but i won't buy a console just for it... 

I have hope that maybe someday my wish will come true! 

Have a great day everyone! Put the puck in the net for me!
