From LauncherWP | Perspective: Women are the best thing about “NHL 23”
It’s a devastating cycle. The rationale against investing in women’s hockey is that there’s a lack of interest. But without the money to grow the sport’s visibility and popularity, there will always remain relatively few fans.on the cover — is one of the most important additions the game has made over its 30-plus year history. Now, Nurse and other women like her will be more visible than ever to players of the beloved franchise. Players will see and remember their names.
“It’s all a level playing field … any top rated women’s player, on the ice in terms of their attributes, will be the same as a men’s hockey player,” Clem Kwong, a producer for “NHL 23” said during a recent interview with The Post. “It’s important not only to represent the landscape of the sport, and the growing popularity and presence of women’s hockey, which we continue to support, but also [to represent the landscape] in terms of the in-game experience.
Before anyone wishes to question whether this is a realistic approach, please save it. It’s a video game. If you don’t want to use female players on your Ultimate Team, you don’t have to . And while the ratings may be equal, EA’s developers said that size will still matter in terms of the game’s physics.“A 6-foot-6, 230-pound defender is going to be able to lean on a smaller player, regardless if that player is a man or a woman,” Kwong said.
From giving players the chance to set concession prices and upgrade parking garages to its all-new “last-chance” puck movement mechanic , EA has shoehorned a lot of distractions into the NHL franchise over the years. For once, an addition feels substantive. The additional shine given to women players feels resonant. The NHL as a whole has seen women
throughout the game in recent years. It’s good to see them doing the same in the world’s most popular hockey game as well.
