yay! let’s get all the kids who love to play WOW to like sports games by turning them into MMORPGs, and forgetting about the croud that created the sports gaming industry in the first place (sarcasm).

then, lets divert endless amounts of resources to these areas of the games, which will likely be broken out of the box, while we leave gameplay, stat engines, and full game experience on the shelves fore next, next, next gen, where we will actually transport your mind into the actual body of a real life NHL player!

i cannot wait…

for this to bite the industry in the a$$.

Maybe I don’t fully understand the feature, but isn’t this pretty much the exact same feature that most FPS games have had for a long time?

It’s called clan support. Or do I not get it?

EA Canada is solid. This feature is gonna be great. Hopefully it will get more people interested in the game because it is the best sports game going right now.

“I’m pretty sure that EA’s online work on NHL last year was really solid. NHL is developed by EA CAnada, not EA Tiburon. EA Canada seems to put out quality games as last year NHL 08 was routinely called the best sports game of the year.”

True. The last time NHL really disappointed me online was 05 or 06 where it was on the old XBOX. More recently, EA Canada has done fairly well online.
