Patrick Kane No Longer NHL 16 Cover Athlete - New Cover Revealed

[no1xdraftpck]

I dont think investing in a cover athlete is taking anything away from developing the game. You are making it seem like if they just released a game with no cover it would do better because they "invested" more time into the actual game.

I think it's a good move by EA, Kane is a little douche.

How is this the right move if he's innocent? Have you read anything about the situation? It's a money-grabbing whore.

Here's the situation. Patrick Kane was out in a bar one night having fun and enjoying himself. At bar close (4am), he went back to his place with two girls. When they arrived, one of the girls went back with Patrick to his room leaving her friend on the couch. The girl finally came out of the bedroom around 9-10am and got her friend and they left. She then went down to the police station to file a rape claim. Upon the initial investigation, she had a "small scratch" on her leg.

I agree that the cover does look much better. I'm still surprised they had time to pull it off, but I guess the ship date is just far enough out.

The two have nothing to do with each other though. EA isn't going to hold back money in the other parts of the game because of their cover athlete nor does it somehow take away time from developers because of it.

EA can't take the chance to see if he's innocent. They have to make a decision right now, because this can drag on and the game comes out in a month. If he IS guilty and he's on the cover, EA has egg all over their face.

Plus, he's already guilty in the court of public opinion.

You do realize this is a criminal suit and not a civil suit?

Well if it's a money grabbing whore then it's a criminal slut and not a civil slut.
