EA NHL 2012
Littman said her letters brought the issue home. “Here’s a girl who’s playing with her brother and she’s not happy. She can’t create herself,” he said.
The issue came to his attention during the production process, and it was immediately prioritized for “NHL 12.” It didn’t replace any features slated for the game, but the designers knew there had to be extra work done to incorporate female players in the create-a-player mode.
As a tribute to the girl who inspired the change, the game’s designers asked Lexi to send photos of herself in to EA Sports. Using those images, she became the default female character for the game — the model whose hair and eye color, uniform and name can be changed to suit the user.
“Now she has an advantage over her brother,” said Littman.
“Her face is in the game — his isn’t.”
