Will the KHL Ever Come to the NHL Series?

[TeeKoo]

I'd really like to see the KHL in EA's game in future. I think there are two issues: money and the name of the franchise. The money is been an issue also for the IIHF license and I really hope that in the future EA is willing to sacrifice some amount of dollars to get that license.

And for the name issue. If it is as been said that KHL won't agree to be in a game if it's under NHL name, EA should change the name of the franchise. EA hockey doesn't sound bad to me and if it' s the only way to get KHL in the game, I think that's the risk they'll have to take.

I've never thought of this for some reason, but isn't it rather silly how we call this video game "NHL 14"? It has so many leagues in it. It would be like the FIFA series being called MLS 14. "NHL 14" should really be called EA Sports Hockey or something like that.

I say we have a summit series with the KHL vs. NHL

You mentioned that this would let us "track former NHL players who were looking for work across the pond." I would respectfully disagree. For me, the primary weakness of this series, and has been for years, is the inability to track any player's career. You can't see a player's full career stats anywhere, can't see teams played for, awards or cups won, etc. I would love to be able to track players, but, KHL or not, in the NHL series, you just can't track players . . . at all.

This is my biggest problem with the series as well. It takes one right out of the game to not be able to see any info on the players' careers.

As for the topic at hand, I want to see the NCAA in before the KHL
