Avalanche star Cale Makar named NHL 24 cover athlete Electronic ArtsOn August 14, EA Sports confirmed that Avalanche star Cale Makar will join the likes of Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg, and be on the cover of NHL 24. With just a few weeks before the start of NHL Training Camp, the march towards the 2023-24 NHL season is set to begin. That also means a look towards the yearly release of EA Sports\u2019 NHL franchise. It\u2019s a new year for the NHL franchise and the game will have a new look on the front. Avalanche defenseman and former Stanley Cup champion Cale Makar will be the featured star on the cover of NHL 24. Cale Makar on NHL 24 cover Cale Makar will be the first defenseman to be on the cover of an EA Sports NHL game in five years, when then-Predators star P.K. Subban graced the cover. On the honor, Makar told Dexerto that as a kid, the NHL franchise was always that he \u201cwanted to throw on\u201d and play. \u201cIt was almost a little like a release from just playing playing actual hockey,\u201d and it served as a way for the star to get a mental break, all while still enjoying the game of hockey. Makar will be on the cover for both the standard and X-Factor editions. On the process of shooting the cover, Makar called it an \u201cawesome experience.\u201d \u201cEA was absolutely incredible to work with, there\u2019s just so many little things that you don\u2019t really think about and so many little shots that you try to get for the game. I\u2019m excited for everybody to see it.\u201d Makar is the third player in Avalanche history to be on the cover of an EA NHL game, joining Peter Forsberg (NHL 98) and Joe Sakic (NHL 2004) EA revealed just the cover on August 14, but more news is expected on the 16th. Then, EA will debut the first trailer for NHL 24, as well as other release information. EA Sports will look to build off of NHL 23, a title that introduced crossplay to the franchise, but also had numerous problems that plagued it.
