I found the news troubling because consumers were told that a major benefit of not releasing on the new systems was an opportunity to learn from FIFA and Madden about certain challenges with the new console. So the FIFA team can manage to bring potentially 22 players into a game, but NHL doesn't have the ability to bring in 12? I don't know the first thing about game development, but that strikes me as really odd. I agree with the comment in the roundtable that perhaps a reason that the mode was held out was to figure out a way to monetize it more effectively. If in fact it was technology issues that caused this to happen...then whomever coordinates communication and resources between NHL and other EA Sports games should be updating their resume.
