Rosters and Ratings: Player Information Question

[steveayres35]

When a player from the NHL EA series doesn't have any pages of themselves about their careers from Wikipedia, Elite Prospects, or HockeyDB?

Maybe their careers weren't as involved when compared to NHL players? So why make a page for them when they didn't make it as far as they intended to?

For example, I searched up a few players from the Japanese roster, and nothing showed up. It's also interesting when a goalie from the Japanese roster has a vision rating of 99.

On an extra note, EA works hard everyday to create the best gaming experience for everyone. So a few mistakes here & there won't break the game, it just makes it more interesting for us...

I don't think EA owns the rights to put most of Japan's real players in their games, just like they don't own the rights to put actual national team jerseys in the games. Some of these fake players have existed in EA's NHL games since NHL 99. They don't exist in real that's why you can't find any information about them.

EA should close some more deals to improve international game play. Slovenia isn't even a playable option despite that they have played in the Olympics and World Championships many times over the last decade.
