There is no women in the nhl.

Are you sure?

I'm pretty sure Julie "The Cat" Gaffney plays for Anaheim:

Looking forward to this feature!

Intriguing.

There have been one or two women who've played pre-season games in the NHL. It's not happened in any other sport at the pro level* (there have been one or two female kickers in College Football history).

Also, This might cause a somewhat mixed reaction on the forums#.

*This ignores the handful of women who played pro baseball in the Negro leagues in the early 20th century.

#This is likely an understatement

Wow, so girls are going to be the new black skin, blonde hair of the EASHL?

Re: NHL 12 - Female Be a Pro

Eh doesn't bother me, though it prolly should. I have no quams with letting girls play sports. Though I'm pretty sure the EASHL is going to be full of Blonde Bill Cosbyesque types with awesome names like Destroyer112 and the like. Swear the online communities when it comes to sports titles, or really MP in general tends to bring out the bottom of the barrel more often than not.

Re: NHL 12 - Female Be a Pro

Did anyone notice the more important part of this video? There is an option that says "Head Type" and the option shown is "Generic Head". It is greyed out when on the female player type, but is available as an option when Male is selected. Does this mean there is the option to create a custom face or better yet use the EA Gameface from the website? If that is the case...IT IS ABOUT TIME.

If not, carry on...

Oh yeah, I dont care about female faces as long as they aren't overused.

I dont usually play NHL games, but I have no problem with this.

I don't have a problem with it. If a girl buys the game and wants to be in it, who cares? It's her cash.
Besides, there are probably thousands of girls that are closer to the NHL than I am, and yet I put myself in the game.

On a side note, I'm sure this guy would still fight her though.

Nothing against women, but the closest female (not publicity stunt) from the NHL might have been Hayley Wickenheiser and I would say she was just between Midget AAA and Major Junior.

I'm wondering what would have been the answer if there was female CAP type in Madden 12?

No dice on that one.

True, but women have got closer to the NHL than most other pro sports.

Lol, I think "sh--storm" would about cover it.

Haha, I'm sure there would be massive outrage. But I really don't see why.
I know others might disagree, but the way I see it is, we're paying near $70 for a video game. We should be able to do anything we want for that kind of jack.
So if some woman, or young girl, wants to make herself the #1 centre on the Sharks, more power to them.

Now, if EA had allowed females to be draftable prospects in a Dynasty mode, then I can see where people might be upset. That would take away from the realism in that mode.
But as far as career modes? I really couldn't care less. I think the more options the better.
If it helps expand interest in the sport, even better.
