Unfortunately, there's very little market for the Canadian Premier League - even though a decade ago apparently there were a lot more Canadians playing the game per-capita relative to the US.

NHL will never get a major revamp. In the hierarchy of EA, it's just not that big. I'm sure the CPL would go above and beyond. EA just wouldn't be that interested in catering to such a small market. Not saying the league would never be included, just that it wouldn't have any bonuses. And no, I have no idea if the league is being added or not. A bunch of this is purely my speculation, based on past conversations with them about how the work goes. Even a great idea that everyone is on board with is probably going to take 2 years to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifa is dropping offf because Konami isn’t competing well, and well Madden is ok but even then. 2K kicked them out of basketball and it’s still and incredible game.

m-g-williams Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Good to see the league put out something a bit more official and give more details on the bonus structure.

m-g-williams Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Also noticed Atletico Ottawa putting home and away kits on sale with a 31 Mar 21 end-date on availability. Mayhaps we'll be seeing some new kits dropped soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Initial B Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm happy to see some salary numbers that look promising. That said, $40k average on 23 roster spots is $920,000, which is higher than the cap allows for player salaries per club. At $750k per team, the average should be closer to $32k/player, which is still better than the $25k I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Must be for 2022. Ottawa were pushing it announcing in january. Even with a later start there is less time to get a club up and running for this season. Plus the odd number of teams. Maybe they are still looking for two more teams for 22 and this one is locked in now so they feel like it's an opportune moment to announce. narduch and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingham Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Everyone is guessing it will be Quebec, Fraser Valley or Saskatoon, but knowing the Canadian Premier League's secrecy they'll come out as us with Whitehorse or something.

m-g-williams Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I *just* saw this on Twitter - hot damn, I am pumped. Really hoping they made QC or SK happen. Edit: One Soccer teasing with a poll. Now I'm really hoping that Moncton will be the one. Also . . . where the hell is Pleasant Park?

Dominic94 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Well this is fucking amazing. well done CPL, Clanachan and co amazingly kept secret after Ottawa and Fraser Valley leaked. Just when we thought the Can PL expansion pipeline had died, it pops up. Count me in for season tickets if it’s in Laval or Montreal.

Dominic94 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I’ll add this quickly, they’ve given away future expansion cities and show that their is interest elsewhere. I would think it’s Lyon or a French team and is starting this year why announce now. Is it 1 team or 2 ? As soon as you saw admit you knew it was expansion, Glasscityfc had not heard anything according to his tweets so it’s not Fraser valley but his tweets suggest it’s still happening.
