Like Kiewit needs more advertising. Maybe they can get more minuscule fines and dropped prosecutions for putting workers in incredibly dangerous situations that get them killed

I would have guessed Kevin Weekes with a random background

just had the Athletic notification pop up on my watch that said 'NHL 24 cover athlete selected', in my head I go "it's Makar" then pulled up the article

Interesting choice after going for the wayyyy different cover for '23. I liked the mixed cover w/ summer vibes last year. Personality for the NHL is great.

I haven't played since maybe 2011 and man 23 Be a Pro mode is pretty fun.

Allright pack it in

Wish they'd release a PC version. They release Madden on PC so it can't be that much work?

 

[the_fan]

It makes sense to have the best player in the NHL on that cover

 

[RECKLESS]

Year late but still: great!

Isn't being on the cover for any EA Sports franchise like some big curse? NFL, MLB, NHL, etc.

Guess I'll need to buy it for the first time since 09.

Huh. I hadn't thought of that. I could see that being fun for a bit.

Bad decision.

Matthews making it twice in three years...you know that EA was milking the Toronto market.

Well, we already knew that from the trade rumor thread.

Do you not see Cale on the cover?

I mean, it sucks that I already got 22 and 23, and now they do this. I was definitely not planning to get the game

Bracing myself for this to be the same exact game as last year but now you can customize the ads on the jerseys if you spend EA doubloons that take 3,000 games to amass a significant amount of unless you whip out the credit card

I dream of a new gameplay engine; I used to love franchise mode so much. It’s just a graveyard of a game

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Yeah, I was about to say. Not super happy with this selection.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Lol to be fair the last 7 were teams that everyone knew weren’t likely to go deep.

 

[Ceremony]

Who does the commentary in these nowadays? Is it still Jim Hughson and Don Taylor?
