    Actually, EA *already has* the money to make NHL better and make NHL for the Switch. They have made billions of dollars through Ultimate Team transactions alone. The reason why they aren't making their games better or porting Madden and NHL to the Switch, is because EA are petty with their money! They don't want to spend their revenue. They are purposely making their sports games lower budget than NBA 2K and/or MLB The Show, so that they can make more money that they'll never spend to make their games actually better! EA doesn't care! We're never getting PC or Switch ports for NHL 22, no matter how much we ask them to do so. Why can't anyone else make hockey games?

    100% this!
    I don't even need the newest engine (some serious franchise mode mechanics will be important, though!); just having a semi-serious [nhl-]hockey game on the switch would be great.
    Heck: they could rehash some late 90's/early 2000s engine and I would buy that sh!t; if these greedy f&€£s don't expect me to pay 60€ for *that!*
    But EA is just lazy.
    Why ever invest, why actually develop a game, when your money making sheme can just be rode out year after year with zero risk to it?
    HUT whales probably make them the mist money, anyway (i); basically feeding predatory tactics very similar to those gambling sites like to tap into!
    As long as there is no semi serious competition or lawmakers catch up to the immoral practices (lootboxes, etc. is gambling marketed to children, basically! Imagine the outcry, if tobacco companies took the same twisted approach...) and outright forbid it, the profit margins with hut are just too large, for EA to actually give an eff to rethink their sheme. Until then their game *obstructs this nieche,* and we can change nothing about that...
    * gnashes teeth *
    i) way more, than the "there's not enough of a market" excuse likes to acknowledge; hut makes them tons of money, then those lazy [...]s turn around and pretend they had nothing to work with!

      The switch has been the best selling console for multiple months in the past year. A large amount of that driven by North American consumers, I think they'd have pretty decent sales if they did port it.

      @@erinkonrad7370 oh I absolutely agree with you and you're 100% right about the sales figures for not only North America but the Switch was the best selling console in the UK/Europe too for a while.
      However, my belief is that these don't do much to counter Nintendo (a Japanese company) making decisions which don't make cultural sense to THEM. I mean, look at how little they did for Zelda's anniversary DESPITE how amazingly successful it is as a franchise GLOBALLY 😮‍💨

    It is also regrettable that ice hockey is not officially released in countries where it is not popular.
    This seems to be a problem because nhl is a monopoly.
    If we release it in the PC version, we can solve the problem we have, but ea has no intention of releasing the game in the PC version.

    It’s possible that EA has a contract with Microsoft and Sony that the game will only be made for their consoles. That way they sell more consoles. That’s the only reason I can think of. Even if the CPU etc isn’t advance enough in the Switch they should easily be able to water down the graphics for the system.

    There hasn't been a PC NHL for the past 14 years and there are definitely more PC players willing to buy NHL than switch owners. There must be something else behind this and I actually think it's an MS-SONY cartel paying EA a decent buck not to release their major sports games outside the main consoles to increase demand for them.

    OK, maybe EA is really evil corp but hey, real problem is licensing. We have seen it with FIFA. Maybe i am wrong but license for NHL players and teams is not cheap. Morever start it on an another platform would be more problem in this stage where everybody wants more money for their name on successful system with so many players as Nintendo has. Of course, it could be solved but why make a waves if your company has sucesfull trademarks on viable platform?

      I'm German and I think you are wrong.
      If it wasn't for Super Nintendo (SNES), who knows if I would have ever become a fan of the NHL (maybe ... being an US exchange student 2001/02 did play a role, also); and I feel like it's the same for others, also.
      We are not talking about a difficult to market, hyper-situational game like baseball here; and even thoae seem to sell!
      The narrative "noone cares outside canada" is just patently wrong; a comnon excuse by lazy EA and their fanboys.
      It's just easier to milk HUT-whales (basically: the same predatory noney making sheme gambling sites employ!), and never really invest in development ever again...

      @@chromeposites so you are some marketing expert, huh? (Or even just a failed student?)
      There's a name for this:
      it's called "argumentum ad autoritatem" (or "appeal to authority") and it's a logical fallacy.
      There is a market for hockey games outside north america -- you never addressed that argument, to resort to sophistry instead; "cool story, bro" is also just an ad hominem, basically.
      Baseball has no fans outside north america -- for some reason though, it's still being given multiple renditions on the switch. Maybe Japan factors into that, but it would still be nieche, once the rest of the world factors in, including the huge european market.
      There are hockey crazed nations out there, outside NA, and it worked out tremendously in the past (i), for selling games. (Btw.: PCs may even be more prevalent over here, compared to consoles)
      They just need to convert the game, and there are even development studios specializing in that; the marketing itself would be practically for free, as a mere addendum to the already existing adverts... It's a free market, untapped potential! It's nuts, not to tap into that!
      Why no PC version? Why no Switch version? There is no rational argument for that lapse, *especially not* from a marketing perspective, mr. "I'm the expert on this"...
      Claims are cheap.
      As is ignoring actual arguments being made to instead divert and resort to lowly sophistry...
      "The statistics don't lie" my ass! There aren't even statistics for how well a game like this would sell these days, as they *don't even try!*
      The real issue is, how well their gambling-addiction target audience could be milked on other platforms. It's easier on closed systems (hence no PC), and nintendo as they largely advertise to families and children is a lot more stingy to allow such predatory tactics on their syatem, in fear of bad press! (But they became more lenient on tgat in recent years, which makes the non-cinversion even more mind boggling!)
      You are just a wheeze of hot air...
      "Marketing student", lol!
      Good chuckle you gave me there!
      i) the SNES days are fondly remembered by many hockey fans to this day; those games did sell! What's that in terms of "statistics don't lie"?! Or do _authorities on the matter,_ like *marketing students* like yourself, only care for the non-specified, vaguely hinted at "statistics", that -- allegedly -- suit their bias, whilst disregarding sales numbers as neglectable? Strange marketing philosophy you have there...
