aryehz99 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 EA Sports recently announced that Alex Ovechkin would be the coverboy for next year's game. The cover can be seen on the following site:http://www.easports.com/nhl07/However, I don't know if they realize that the Caps are most likely getting new uniforms (rumour is that they will be red, white and blue) next year. It seems like a bad idea to me to be selling a new game for an upcoming season with a picture that will be extremely outdated, come the fall. Tell me what you think!

IceCap Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Well depending on when the Caps change (if they even do), EA may have plently of time to get a new cover made with the new sweaters. If they can't they can always feature the blue/bronze Caps unis as throwbacks.

Tazz013 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Maybe they know something we dont; the Caps might just be adding a third "patriotic colored" uniform. Save the slugalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryehz99 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Maybe they know something we dont; the Caps might just be adding a third "patriotic colored" uniform.You could be right. After all, the draft cap has the old logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 From a uniform standpoint, video games rarely break their back to be the most up-to-date. Also, a lot of new uniforms (especially alts) rarely make the game for their inception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatManTC Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 it really should be a Canes player on the cover by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Joe Thornton is the cover boy for the 2K Sports game NHL 2K7. Its pretty funny to think both companies chose eventual award winners of the Hart and Calder, respectivly.

29a Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I don't see a problem even if they do change uniforms.When he had his great season, that's what he wore. I think it would be tacky to impose a new uniform on his body that he had yet to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Ahhh...I remember Joe Thornton. Didn't he used to play for the Bruins?

DDR Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 that might not end up being the actual coverlast year at the unveiling of the Madden coverboy they used McNabb in the 2005 cover template. Then by the time the game came out, they went with the "swooshy bar." Unless the swooshy bar is coming back, they probably just threw it in there. Even though the cover template is the same for each EA game in a given year, EA generally changes the cover look each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
