Helmets in the game???

KRYPTON1T3

I am hoping to god this is just s prerelease thing and it hasn’t been updated but where are like most of the helmets used in the nhl? They are the most important thing to player likeness.

They are currently missing:
Bauer 5100 (was there in 19)
Bauer reakt (been missing for 5 or so years, one of the most popular in the NHL)
Bauer reakt 150
Warrior Covert RS
CCM FL80 (been missing since 10 or 11)

I am shocked they can usually get the rest right (which is important) but they can never get the helmets correct. Sidney Crosby has had the wrong helmet for a decade...

I was just about to post this.

Unbelievable that some of the most popular NHL helmets aren't available in a game that's title "NHL." I understand if they can't inculde the Easton helmets anymore, but at least include one of the most popular helmets in the NHL: Bauer Re-Akt.

Nope, this is the final game.

I totally understand the Easton helmets and the new CCM helmet (update it later). But COME ON! The reakt is either the most popular or number 2. Kane, Kuch, Matthews etc. What a joke. And now tons are wearing the new Reakt 150. No way to put it on players though.

pure laziness.

I don't know if it's laziness or licensing issues tbh.

We don't know if these hockey manufacturers are going to EA and saying "we only want you to include certain helmets/pieces of equipment in your game."

But I totally understand why one would argue EA are being lazy. You only need to look as far as the player gloves which are just re-skins of the same glove as opposed to modelling the actual glove.

Literallt just want helmet cage combo where you can change the color of the cage separately. Could care less about retro helmets. I don’t want a purple helmet and a purple cage. Even if it’s just white/black/silver give us the option

I want Soderstroms Jofa cage. Whats the point having him in the game otherwise.

Agreed. The fake one looks horrible.
And I highly doubt they would say no to a new helmet such as the new warrior or Bauer. They have the old v08 and 4500... and old sticks form years ago. It’s really sad. And every year it gets worse and worse.

You don’t have him in the game. You have an ugly EA generic face who has his name and even no player pic in his profile. Thats the fact. We have soon the year 2020 and EA is not able or willing to invest time to give minimum a pic in every real player profile or better looking faces like this hundred of same looking brothers in the game.

Ok, than I mixed it with Björnfot which has no pic. Same as many other good Swedish NHL prospects are without any pics.

I’m also adding that new gloves are also missing. They did great with sticks and skates but it’s like they forgot gloves and helmets.

Missing:
CCM SuperTacks AS1
Warrior Alpha DX
CCM 4 Roll
Will add more if I think of it.

Kagamida

Add the CCM Tacks 4 Roll that many of the pros use as well.

Hey at least they added 7000 new pieces of clown gear.
