t what point a rewrite becomes a new game is not clear but the whole idea of an upgrade is theoretical so what would an extra sport plus pitch matter. Especially as the game already has an ice rink. The reality EA has never expressed an interest in doing an upgrade, we are not privy to what is in EA's plans for the games and the TS3 development team was stood down a long time ago. It is nice to dream though as long as we remember it is nothing more than a dream :)
I don't think it's even in the realm of possibility that they will rewrite TS3 for 64bit. There's absolutely NO chance at all.
TS5 on the other hand is a very distinct possibility.
The Canadian in me is sitting here going. "YOU CALL THAT AN ICE RINK!!??" TS3 ice rink is a glorified kiddie rink that you find in the mall...

I'll tell you one thing...as a parent of a kid who plays hockey; When you're standing in there for at least an hour or more it gets frikkin' cold. During the course of a season they'd play quite a few games. And some rinks you'd end up having to get in the car and turn the heater on full blast to thaw out.
I mean c'mon, EA...you make a fully fleshed out NHL game every year. You can't be bothered to just make a net with hockey actions attached to it for the Sims other than for a Freeplay game?
Could be TS4. If they put a hockey rink and a hockey net with actions. I'd get TS4 just for that SP...just for gits and shiggles as well as TS4 Seasons. Those are the only TS4 EP and Stuff Pack that I'd get.
Hockey Rink with place-able Hockey net (that has following actions)
1. Goal (any of the corners or five hole).
2. Ring off the cross bar or either post (no goal)
3. Miss the net completely. (shooter looks disappointed)
4. Goalie makes the save...
Is it really that hard for a company who has a dedicated title to NHL to do a little more work with Sims?
As it is...If I had a sim playing the Hockey Career, I'd have to go out of Sims 3...and play the actual game in NHL'18 (which actually has minor hockey teams so you can play his minor career.
Have you seen this: https://youtu.be/I45nYzzxWBI The new NHL '19 trailer?
It's an abomination that they can't bring a little bit of hockey to Sims 4...with the fact that they can do this for a dedicated game that they put out yearly. To tell you the truth I could pull out my NHL2005 for PC and they have the same facial characteristics as the Sims. :D You wouldn't be able to tell 'em apart. :D
