@T2HDAdding the women is a cool gimmick. But let's be honest...is anyone going to play more than 1 game with them???

Its kinda the same as NHL Threes....just a gimmick to get some.attention but its a mode that nobody will play

I don't think adding women to a game is a "gimmick" when women make up for 48% of those that play video games. One reason why I wake up every morning and choose to be here for EA is how they continue to push the limits across all titles. From new game engines to their efforts in making gaming more inclusive and available to everyone in the world. I myself am very excited for this content update and sit down with my daughter tonight with those teams. She asked me one time if she could create a female skater when it was not yet available, so it's cool now that EA makes experiences like this more relatable.

I mean, if you really think about it how cool would it be to capture 48% of that demographic to help build up the sport even more. Be part of that process. More players in the NHL franchise might just lead to bigger gaming budgets which in turn could result in more developers in areas of the game where you would like to see more features on. 

Threes is a popular mode. We have a thread here where others in the community find it very important to be able to play it.

We'll try our best to get an answer on whether helmetless players will be a feature this year. Keep in mind these forums are a channel to vocalize requests, concerns, and chat about the game. This is one channel among the variety the team uses to help steer them in the direction they want to go with the game. No all suggestions may come to fruition. We'll do our jobs as Forum Community Managers to keep the devs filled in on what the community is chatting about so they're constantly in the know.
