If they weren't going to have rights to one arena they may as well not have wasted their time and money to get those other three. My guess is they are saving the UC for one of their last arena screen shots.

If the United Center isn't in the game, it's because they priced themselves out of the game's budget. It makes no sense to go for an all-or-nothing approach here -- especially since they signed on the dotted line and paid for the other arenas.

I'm going to guess probably not. As much as I'd love to see it as well, they'd have to get special permission from every party on the Ring of Honor in order to put their name or likeness in the game.

I disagree but do understand where you're coming from. The reason I say it's basically all or nothing is because NHL hasn't had every arena fully licensed this generation if I'm not mistaken. They've made it this far without having had that so I'm sure they could have gone longer without it affecting sales. I mean seriously how many people aren't going to buy the game because United Center, MSG (obviously now licensed), etc. aren't licensed? There's not many. Yes it's been very annoying not having those famous arenas licensed but those issues can be overlooked by many people because they either already enjoy the game or have many issues higher on their list that need fixing. Now maybe if a couple of the less popular arenas were missing they may have still made this a feature, but if you don't have the license for the United Center you have kind of screwed yourself a little bit on promoting the feature just because of its popularity.

I would be willing to bet that if EA were unable to lock down the licenses of those arenas they didn't have previously licensed, no way in heck are they promoting authentic arenas in this years version. They'd look stupid especially since two of those arenas (MSG and the UC) are two of the most famous in America. It was either get those big time licenses or authentic arenas won't be a marketing tactic or "big time" feature.

I absolutely agree with the bolded part -- they'll totally look like fools if a place like the United Center has a generic name. We'll have to wait and see!

As a Rangers fan, though, I'm really glad that they finally have MSG in the game.

Absolutely agree. It was long past due just like United Center as well. As a big time Sharks fan I'm very happy to see SAP is as well. I guess this is all moot for me because I still will not buy this game unless neutral zone pressure is fixed.
