I completely agree here. The biggest example is obviously FIFA, where as a player or franchise, you can go out and play for your country.
Even 2K is jumping on this bandwagon, and if NHL is also now integrating a country vs. country feature (in this case, through the World Cup of Hockey), the gold standard is to have it integrated into other features.
