[RaychelSnr]

Electronic Arts has released a new roster update for NHL 15 to reflect recent player injuries, line changes, and team transactions. Five NHL rookies have also received slight ratings increases:

Johnny Gaudreau (Calgary) -- 76 overall to 81 overall
Victor Rask (Carolina) -- 69 overall to 74 overall
Aaron Ekblad (Florida) -- 75 overall to 81 overall
Filip Forsberg (Nashville) -- 77 overall to 81 overall
Jori Lehterä (St. Louis) -- 77 overall to 80 overall

EA's twitter account also states that there were "big changes to CHL rosters."

Really wish if you updated the rosters that the rosters would be downloaded to your current GM Mode. What a bother.

Well it was a pretty piss poor update considering this has been the only ratings changes this far and the rosters themselfs only get update once a month. Every other sports game has an update at least every week and they are pretty detailed. In NHLs case it's like they draw straws at the last minute and who ever loses gets the burden of updating the rosters. However we should have seen this coming, the NHL series has always been like this for roster update so I don't know why we are complaining. It's nothing new until they say otherwise.

Well written. It seems as if this was an update for the sake of being able to say an update was released, rather than an update for the sake of an update. Would EA like to tell us what, in fact, they changed in the CHL? If anyone on OS can chime in with the CHL updates I'd appreciate that very much.

The ability to edit players would have made this game a lot different, and perhaps more importantly, would have affected the way it is publicly treated by customers and EA. Or, why not add a Revamped guy or two and get solid, consistent roster updates?

Why won't they just allow roster sharing? AND, more importantly, ALLOW us to edit player attributes DURING a season in progress..what is the big deal? Then we can keep our current GM game updated...MLB The Show allows this..I don't get why EA is so anti-roster editing

It's welcome for some guys to receive the boost but a ton of young players were ignored still and, worse in my opinion, since the young players will at least improve in a season or two, is that guys like Rene Bourque and Brendan Morrow and Olli Jokinen are still drastically overrated. Guys who are declining/flat out sucking need to receive ratings adjustments. Don't just raise the handful of popular 'name' rookies to appease the masses who aren't concerned with the less known players. Do an actual update to the ratings.

Yep, I like the way that Konami does it in their Pro Yakyuu Spirits series:

After downloading a new roster in PYS, the game will ask you if you want to apply that roster to your existing season/franchise files or if you just want to leave your files alone and keep them as they were.
