NCAA Hockey Videogame On the Way?

With all the exciting news coming from NHL 11, here is another exciting gem. It seems we could very well see NCAA Hockey as well. Hit up Kotaku for the scoop.

	"While we don't have a formal announcement to make at this moment, we are certainly in discussions with EA Sports and they are very interested in having a college component to their game," Kelly told the show. "We, the colleges, are very interested in having that happen and we are just currently in the process of figuring out what dimensions that ought to take. [But] just as there is going to be a CHL component to the video game, there will be a college hockey component as well." That doesn't necessarily mean for NHL 11 due in September, Kelly said. "I'm hopeful. I don't know much about the development of video games," he told the show. ""If we come to a finality here in the next couple of weeks and whether that would give them enough time to roll it out in time for September ... I would hope so but I don't know the answer to that."

	"Last week the Canadian Hockey League and EA Sports formally announced that the next edition of their NHL series would include teams and players from all three Canadian Major Junior leagues. According to Paul Kelly, the NCAA and EA Sports are very close to announcing a similar agreement to bring the U.S. College game to the masses in the same format."

Don't see this happening, at least not as a complete addition to the NHL game. That would be like combining Madden and NCAA Football in one game. What I could see them doing though is taking a few of the big name teams and adding it to BAP to allow your player to get drafted out of the CHL or NCAA.

It actually wouldn't be like putting Madden and NCAA together at all. There would be no way that they would nail down all of the glitz and glamour that college hockey has. There's just way too much stuff that the NHL team would have to do in order to accomplish that. It would literally be a mode exactly like the CHL where the atmosphere and gameplay is just very basic. NCAA football has all of the glitz and glamour that college football has. It's completely focused on what college football is like. NHL would most likely never do that with college hockey. Obviously there will never be a separate college hockey game for obvious reasons. Comparing NCAA football going into Madden and College hockey going into NHL is in no way shape or form a comparison that should ever be made.

It would be cool to play as UAA if they ever did this.

Do you really care where I sent this from?
