The Loss of NHL 2K Has Made EA NHL Worse

I keep hearing that EA has some exclusive deal with the NHL for hockey games, but that’s actually not true! From what I understand, 2K stopped making their NHL games because NHL 2K11 just didn’t sell well. It’s easy to blame EA, and honestly, sometimes it feels good to do so, but the real reason they’re the only ones making hockey games right now isn’t because of any sneaky contract – it’s just that the market for hockey games shrunk. It’s a bummer, but that’s the truth of it.
