Nhl 25 is not coming to Pc

As usual... Every game comes to PC, but not this one. Damn it. How expensive could porting be? Did this game not sell at all on PC? I love playing Nhl and this situation sucks.
 
PC doesn't get the UFC games either. And for years, Madden was only available on consoles, and not PC. So not that surprising but, nevertheless, it's annoying that EA still don't show the same commitment to PC as they do consoles.
 
good, don't poison the PC market with this crap

PC bros are chads that actually play real sports between sessions of sweaty sex with super models.

We don't need a game for any of that, you console lads can keep it. :messenger_sunglasses:
 
EA sports in general doesn't care about PC.

FIFA was last gen version until a couple years ago.

CFB and UFC don't even get ported, unsure about madden.


2k is the same way btw, NBA 2k25 is finally going to be next gen version on PC.
 
Oh, noes, all the improvements they will be missing from the previous year's version! Like... updated player lists and... and...

… except me of course. 😎

NHL not being on PC is a big head scratcher. Makes no sense unless they know they canmt handle PC cheaters.

That's fine. Those indie hockey games are more fun anyways.

Though I wouldn't buy a modern EA Sports game regardless.

The primary benefit of it coming to PC, in my opinion, would be its mod-ability.

The community could fix a lot of its issues, like they did with Madden 24. That would only drive sales.

I'm honestly at a loss as to why it's not something EA will do, when the game was on PC for 12 years in the past.

The only thing I can speculate is that modders might find something in the code that EA doesn't want people to know about.
 
I guess it shouldn't be mentioned. But, at the moment the best you can probably do on PC is to emulate the last version to get a PS360 release. Those disks can be found cheap and if you want to jump through enough hoops to get them converted to iso and then into a format supported by the emulator you should be good.
 
Why do they ignore the PC platform with certain games?
I think it's mainly a legacy decision. I remember older NHLs came to PC but at the time there was low sales and piracy so they just stopped some time in 2010. I can see it coming back at some point though.

Yeah, but that's a long time ago, and PC's acts more like a console replacement for many these days. Also, they never stopped releasing FIFA or Madden.
 
They need to try and release it on steam. Shit is different than 2010. They could put denuvo on it if they are worried about pirating and shit.
 
they didnt port NCAA Football to PC either. Lets face it, PC is huge in europe and asia and they couldnt give two shits about Madden, college football and ice hockey. even NBA2k was porting last gen versions of NBA2k until recently.

PC is a growing market in the U.S but i wouldnt be surprised if its smaller than even xbox. if people were buying these games on pc, EA would be porting them.
 
And another year where I will not buy a NHL game. Very weird that they continue to ignore the PC audience with this crap.
 
I dont think EA ports all theor sports games to PC and havent for a while.

NHL games arent big sellers to begin with (maybe 1M copies on consoles?). I thought way back they didn't bother making PC ports due to people cracking it and updating rosters themselves. So EA probably lost interest.

Yup.. nba 2k25 (releases in a couple weeks) will be the first pc port to be next gen. It also won't have crossplay

Fifa also did the same for years.

When people think of PCs, everyone imagines big desktop towers, but we shouldn't forget handheld PCs. I believe there's a growing PC audience for sports games, thanks to handheld consoles. EA, hear me out!
