NCAA Hockey Videogame On the Way?

[Fiddy]

man, if this is true for this year or even next year. then all this game is missing is the ECHL and NHL Classic Teams!!

While it would be nice to be able to play as college teams in a play now mode, I'd want all the conferences (WCHA, CCHA, etc.), holiday tournaments, conference tournaments, and the PairWise formulas for NCAA tournament selection. Get D1 right first, and then add D3 down the road.

Am I asking too much?

Edit: Forgot to add - all the arenas. Or at least the correct dimensions for each rink.

Wow! As if we knew what to do with the other leagues they're throwing at us.

Seriously, this is pretty awesome. Real NCAA teams and licensing within a professional sports game? Never really crossed my mind, but it's a great way to give the NCAA hockey teams and players more exposure (though I guess those players would be generated names and/or just #'s) without making it its own game. And if it takes off... then maybe it can become its own.

However, it'll probably be very barebones, and I doubt they'll be able to fit it in this year. We're just 3 months from release now. I doubt you'll see any recruiting and other deeper elements until the 2nd, 3rd, etc editions with the NCAA teams in the game.

Still, completely and utterly awesome.

I love hockey, I love football, I don't really watch the college versions of either (sometimes football, but I'm from Canada so it's not that big here). Still, I would get this game but only if it works the same as the NCAA football game so that I can import draft classes.

While this is intriguing, it doesn't do *that* much for me. Being a 30-year-old Canadian - NCAA hockey will always be something of a joke to me. I know it's relevancy is growing and more players are spending time in the NCAA.

But, the same stringent rules on eligibility and amateurism for football and basketball. This means none of the real players will be represented. But, it'd be cool as a recruitment/drafting/development area along with the CHL.

Now they need to put NCAA teams in NBA live

This is would be great news but I wouldn't expect this to be included until NHL12.
