Community ManagerI don't believe I said it's an issue with a lack of American fans. I'm talking about the overall fanbase. FIFA gets a PC version because the sport has the community to support it. This really shouldn't be a surprise with just how big that sport is. It can be played anywhere and requires minimal equipment. Hockey, even when ice isn't involved, tends to be a sport that you can't just pick up and play without having specialized equipment.
We would truly love to have a PC version. It just runs the very high potential to be a lot of work with not a lot of return as well as stalling progress on the much more popular, console version of the game.
The only reason it's more popular on consoles is because that's the only way we can play. I have never once seen an official poll or anything from EA about bringing NHL back to PC. Make a prompt on the game as soon as you open it asking if players would switch to PC if it were to be released. Then, once you have your answer, make it cross play between PC and consoles. EA is a billion dollar company, just spend the money on resources to do it. It really shouldn't be that hard to actually cater to what the fans want for once.
Don't bother, I have disc version of NHL 07 and it doesnt even work because kept asking DirectX9.0c even though I have it. Setup ends suddenly. My discs are useless now.
Perhaps stop rereleasing same FIFA every year and focus on fixing these ancient issues with your legacy games. EA did bring Simcity 3000 to Steam along with some other legacy titles recently. PERHAPS bring older NHL games as well?
