NHL 21 Patch Notes (1.01)

Why is EA constantly dodging the questions about Ottawa's new jerseys? Why can't we get a straight answer. Can't even play a game with my favourite team's new jersey. What is that like a days work for the design team? Couldn't have been including in the latest patch? Thanks! What an organization lol

Can you please tell us when the Ottawa jerseys will be patched in? That's their official logo. None of this "keep your eye on official channels" I don't have time for this. I spent $90 on this you should be able to provide answers to the consumer.

It's entirely possible new jerseys will be added. It happens every year. The new Senators jersey was just announced after the latest roster update. While I can't guarantee it's coming because we don't talk about updates until the notes are released, I can assure you we're aware of the updated jersey and want to get it in the game. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

I don't understand. Why would the jerseys not be added? They are the official logo of the team.

We can't add new jerseys until they've been revealed publicly by the team. After that, they need to be added to a future roster update. We can't just add whatever jerseys we want. There are always licensing rights and conditions that need to be met before adding them to the game.

@EA_AljoI understand there is licensing issues but can't you at least add logos that are already in the game to the Create Team mode logo section? 90's Sharks logo, 90's Dallas logo, Whalers 90's logo, Tampa Bay 90's logo to name a few are all in the game on old school jerseys. Even the old/new Sens logo are on the 06/07 jerseys. If you add these to Create Team we can make missing jerseys ourselves. Or better yet - if you give us the option to import logos or even jerseys you would need no licensing rights at all. We could all just import any logo or jersey we want, and we could all be happy. How about that? I know other games have this option (Pro Evolution Soccer for example). Why not NHL?

I don't understand why there is so much limitation to customization. 

I want to see vintage goalie masks available for created goalies again, like it was on last gen. I can not for the life of me understand why we can't use those even though they obviously are in the game on some alumni goalies (and most of them have the wrong type even though their correct type are also in the game). 

I frustrates me that I can't create missing alumni/legends like Ken Dryden without having him look nothing like the real Ken Dryden.  

No helmets should also be an option but as I understand it there is some ridiculous rule that prevents EA from adding that option for offline modes, even though many alumni players are without helmets. Makes no sense at all but alright. But surely there are no rule against the vintage masks right? Please add them. They were in NHL 07 -14 so why not now?
