Edit: Hey folks, some of you may be wondering why you're being redirected here so I was hoping to explain - While you're still free to create new threads in the [insert current NHL] boards, the team is under the impression that pretty much anything that could be said, has been said here, and encourage you to skim through all the various ideas/suggestions, rebuttles, and explanations etc. before doing so.
Let's continue to be civil and make NHL the best it can be. 👍
In my opinion, all the different ways people have been asking for a PC version are why there isn't one - you all need to consolidate your support into a single entity, otherwise they won't be able to get an accurate picture of how many unique users want it. Also, the most I've seen in a single petition was like 12,000 - you're gonna need wayyyyyyy more than that to make them budge.
Again, they only direct it better when the shot is coming from the left (tendy's right) - coming from the right side is just as easy, if not easier than previous years; I don't know how you haven't noticed it. Seeing as how there was a recent patch that made defensive awareness better, shot-blocking and interceptions did indeed need fixing afterall.
Here's the thing about forehand-backhand dekes - if a human goalie knows that's all you're going to do, he will act accordingly; cpu goalies get fooled like 90% of the time and don't learn, that's why they need tweaks.
This picture is for a different game under the EA umbrella but, and this is just my opinion, I don't think you can really blame economical struggle affecting quality for yearly titles that have a host of microtransactions when said MTX more than make up for it.
I just haven't noticed anything different with rebounds from either side. I'll still watch out for it though.
Can't you just do the pc port for NHL 21. There have been several people I know who would love to play on PC. Not everyone gets on forums though. I feel like if you put it on PC it will unite the community. People only play it on Console because it isnt available on PC. You should put it on PC and provide crossplay which would eliminate the need for population problems.
I would love to see NHL back on PC. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as just porting it over. There's a huge amount of work that goes into this. That means putting the console versions of the game on hold to work on the PC version. While we know there's a very passionate PC crowd, stalling progress on the console version, where the huge majority of the community plays, would really upset people.
I would love to see the next NHL come out on PC. I am struggling to see why it would require any particular effort to port it over to PC, given that FIFA and NFL are both already running very well on the PC. You would think that with the Origin Access subscription service and EA's very own Origin platform, all of EA games would find their way to the PC since Origin would be the ideal home but I guess someone decided otherwise for some obscure reason, probably some outdated research conducted over 10 years ago (well before Origin platform was even designed) when it was decided NHL 09 would be the last game on PC
If it were too complicated, at least bring back NHL 09 back in the Origin store - it was removed for some reason, thereby preventing newcomers from buying ANY NHL game for PC
I'm pretty sure that they're doing something wrong with their research. There is no way that American football is more popular than hockey. Maybe if we look at just the leagues, but then the argument is valid only for the USA market. I used to think that NHL got cancelled on the PC because of fear that they wont be able to sell it, because the modern games rely on the joysticks. But the majority of people who play games, besides shooters, on the PC do own a controller as well. I got one for rocket league and would've done the same for NHL.
American football is significantly more popular than hockey in the US. Of course, hockey is more popular in Canada, but when it comes to the population of North America, football is a lot more popular. We would love to have a bigger audience for the game, but it also needs to be a worthwhile investment. It doesn't make sense to put so many resources into a PC version of the game for a small number of people. That would directly affect the far bigger audience that plays on consoles.
You copy paste that answer for like what, 2 years? Can't you guys see that there is demand!
