    YOUR OUT OF LUCK ON THE NEW ROSTERS IF YOU DONT HAVE XBOX GOLD

    I saw that the new rosters were out so I figured they would finally be in the "download rosters" section of EA's online which has been empty so far and nothing. All it say is what it has always said "There are no rosters updates at his time please check back later." Sorry, but I'm just an offline player and am not going to pay another $40 to upgrade to gold to get roster updates. I don't know about PS3 users if they are able to get roster updates but this is just greed on EA and Microsofts part to not even get rosters. No other sports game does this...I'm speechless at the decision. I supposed next you'll have to have gold to get patches and tuner updates too...ridiculous...

    They probably just haven't posted them in that section yet. Relax.

      From what I've seen so far, all you have to do is connect to an online vs game, and the rosters will download(make sure to save them afterwards). The catch is, PS3 users can do that for free.

                I am in the same situation, although two months back when I got the game, I went into HUT mode and it prompted me to download the online rosters. Try starting up HUT and seeing if that does any good for you. I just wish we could transfer with USB key (my next search on this forum) because then I'll head to my buddy's house tonight and download the rosters with his gold membership and put them on my USB key.

                EDIT: I guess the new rosters are brutal, so I'm just going to forgot the hassle and just make the updated trades myself. Extremely disappointing.

                    Are you serious????

                    Come on, EA it is a roster update for cryin' out loud! No reason AT ALL that Silver members shouldn't have access to this right away.

                    Very disappointed in EA/NHL today. Between the reported errors in the update and then, not having the update we've waited TWO MONTHS for available to everyone at the same time, this really puts a damper on my playing experience.

                      You can no longer copy and upload rosters on any console. It creates conflicts with the game and is not supported.

                        Hey everyone. I went to EA's NHL 11 site and senior moderator LuGer33 posted this...

                        1. Roster updates were released bi-weekly last year. While nothing has been confirmed, that is a safe guess for what we will be seeing this year as well. Again, nothing confirmed at this very moment, just going on what we had for NHL 10 and what is likely for 11.

                        2. If I recall, the roster updates end up under the "Download Roster" tab fairly soon after they are released on the server (accessed by launching a Versus or any ranked online game). I'll try to get a specific time frame for you though.

                        So hopefully this will come to the XBOX 360 silver members. But from what I'm hearing, geez....do I want do download it?.......Hope this helps all of us silver users out...peace..

                          Inexcusable. Repeatedly missing self-set deadlines on a major roster update, then limiting access for no bloody reason at all? 12 hours past release and anyone on a 360 not paying for Gold still can't access it? And on top of it all there's tons of mistakes, which means more weeks of waiting for a capable download? It's enough to make one wish there was a decent alternative, because as fun as this game is this whole bullshi‎t process is infuriating.

                              Actually, you can if you have silver, I did it myself.

                              Step 1-Go to HUT

                              Setp 2-Go to play Tournament

                              Step 3-Go to online tournament

                              Step 4- Select some random one

                              Step 5- hit advance (If you need to fix your roster so you can play ie contracts)

                              Step 6- Let it download, you will then be told you don't have permission to access the following feature, ignore that

                              Step 7- Quit HUT

                              Step 8- Go to rosters, check any team (As I did the Canucks, and see if they added missing people like Schaefer, if they are there, go save your roster)

                              Wabam, roster update for the Gold less.
