Sharks were on the cover in 2001. I'm still waiting for my redwings to make a return to cover glory.

^ Owen Nolan, if memory serves.

After 25 years of playing EA hockey, they tend to blend together.

This is why we can't have nice things.

As for on-topic, I like Taresenko as the cover athlete but that cover looks kinda... plain? Idk, just doesn't pop like the older covers have. I'll be making my own for sure

Perfect time to drop! Now I don't have to buy it, just use my 10 hours on EA access before 2k drops that Friday

The PS4 cover looks really cool because of the blue-on-blue effect. Accidental aesthetics for the win, I suppose.

Jagr on the cover!
