Make EA SPORTS NHL More Fun
Playing against your friends in NHL gets repetitive if they always pick the Avalanche or the Lightning. Introduce the "Random Team Rule" using this wheel. Both players must play as the team the wheel selects for them. It forces you to learn different strategies, rely on depth players instead of superstars, and creates hilarious matchups that you'd never see otherwise.
