Yeah, the overhead to implement those systems is costly, but I think it is absolutely foolish to believe the NHL franchise doesn't turn a tiny profit. It is likely smaller than Fifa and Madden, but that doesn't mean it isn't very profitable in its own right.
EA isn't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. The game makes money.

Where in my post did I say anything about EA's profit, or how much they make?
I was trying to say is if ANOTHER company comes in and, after the first few years of being in the red, can grab a share of the market. At best they could be breaking even. Could turn a small profit, but it could also flop. If I was an investor/publisher, and a developer came to me. The risk wouldn't be worth the reward... and I'd back out. EA has the market.
