Or you could do what I did, and put them on their teams in Be-A-GM.

Yzerman/Howe/Chelios/Hasek on Detroit
Gretzky/Kurri on Edm/LA
Mario on Pitt
Roy on Mtl/Col
Salming/Gilmour on Toronto
Roenick on PHX/PHI/Chi
Chelios on Chi/Det/MTL
Bourque on Bos/Col

My only complaint is, if they put this much effort into their Create-a-team logo's and arenas, I'd be happy.

Women legends? Umm, yippee?

I've been tempted to put Gretzky back with the Oil in my GM modes. I've always been interested to see how well an AI controlled Gretzky would do.

But anyway...I think it's pretty cool the women of this great sport are getting at least some of their due.

Someone needs to kick Dean Richards and the EA marketing department right in the nads. This press release makes it sound like EA Sports is so out of touch that it took a 14 year old to wake them up to the fact that there are female hockey players and videogame fans. People were suggesting/complaining about this before women's hockey became an Olympic sport!

Sticking women's players on men's teams isn't good enough. Put women's teams in the game. Club-college-International. They don't have to be licensed players, just put in Creation Centre like FIFA's and let people make their own.

If you are going to do it, do it right. Do female motion capture, real female teams and tournaments. Current and classic.

The problem with this idea is NHL has limited resources and time. To impliment all of this they would have to cut back on gameplay changes to what we currently have. I think the only way to get this in would be wait until next gen.

Or do it the EA way and just stick female heads on male bodies like that screenshot shows.
