    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. 👍

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PC since Origin would be the ideal home but I guess someone decided otherwise for some obscure reason, probably some outdated research conducted over 10 years ago (well before Origin platform was even designed) when it was decided NHL 09 would be the last game on PC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

        It's not overly complicated - it will take resources away from the console version and hockey is less popular than soccer and football.
