Chel fans on the internet expressed their disappointment and disapproval of a potential EA Sports College Hockey edition following the release of NHL 24.
The rejection of this prospective game stems from fans' dissatisfaction with the existing NHL 24 release, which seemingly failed to meet their expectations and deliver the desired gaming experience.
B/R Open Ice recently shared on X/Twitter the prospect of a college hockey game, catching the attention of Chel fans. The idea stems from the upcoming release of the widely popular EA Sports College Football 25 game, set to drop on Friday.
One fan expressed their thoughts, tweeting:
"They can’t even get the NHL game right. One step at a time."
Another fan joined the conversation and said:
"We all know EA would just recycle the same game and just change the name, business as usual."
"As cool as it would be to I doubt it would sell. If there was another college game made it would most likely be Basketball," one X user opined.
Here are some more reactions from fans on X:
"Would be cool but NHL barely has players imagine what a college hockey would do in sales lol," another fan commented.
"The only way I can see this happening is if they just added NCAA hockey to future NHL games like they do with the smaller hockey leagues," one fan wondered.
"Instead of making a new game it’d probably make more sense to just add a new mode or league into EA NHL," another fan suggested.
The recent edition of the National Hockey League video game marked the 33rd installment from EA Sports, launched across the PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S platforms in October last year.
