Adding to the debate of whether there are real advantages, EA has added the ability to set your tax rate and factor that into free agent decisions in the newest entry of the NHL video game series.

This is after the debate of if this should be addressed in future CBA talks has become more common among fans, leading to media asking those in the game about it.

Anyways, I thought it was interesting they found this important enough to add to the game as a feature

I like how trotz backtracks on how star players like stamkos and marchy they didn’t join us because of the no tax it’s because they want to win! Nice try barry

You can essentially be an owner/GM if you want and have to do things like maintain the arena, do upgrades to keep the experience fresh, set budgets for things and also find ways to make more money. So you can have a fancier parking garage installed and charge more money for parking kind of thing.

Can also just decide to relocate your team as well if you wanted.

If only they'd work on the actual gameplay not being total trash.

Cool but how have they still not managed to create a better game than NHL 94?

In be a pro mode, will I get to weigh the pros and cons of living in Center City Philadelphia vs. South Jersey vs. the Main Line?

Talk to me when they bring GM Connected back. I guess the technology of 2014 is simply beyond the current EA team.

No doubt the folks at EA Sports are leading experts on the nuances of tax code.

I bet Trotz got an earfull from the league about that comment. I admire him for stating the obvious truth, even though it may cost him professionally.

Seriously. The developers at EA refuse to accept that their main clientele is 90's kids who grew up playing these games, but instead they pander to 14 year olds with loot boxes and skins. Kind of insane when you think about it.

Tax planners/lawyers have good careers for a reason. There's always demand.
