Roster Update 11/8

[savoie2006]

In case no one noticed there is officially a roster update in the roster download section. Not sure if this is new or just the previous update finally added into the download section. I'm PS3 if this matters at all.

Check and see if guys who were junior are in the AHL now, like Cody Hodgson in Manitoba, or Kyle Beach in Rockford. if they are on there respective AHL teams then it is possibly a new roster update

Re: Roster Update 11/8

well if the roster does have the date of 11/8, perhaps its a slight update, considering roster update #2 was 11/2.

Re: Roster Update 11/8

Well that was when the update was posted. I think the date of the file itself is 11/3, which would be the follow up to the 11/2 update that corrected the AHL issue. I think they just finally got it posted in the Roster Download section.

i bloody hope they start using that section - otherwise what use is it, and i dont always want to start online games just to download rosters.

Re: Roster Update 11/8

. Players in the AHL who are missing is because they haven't signed their PHPA forms, even if a guy starts the season in juniors and then goes to the AHL, he can't be placed in till he signs his PHPA waiver.

Re: Roster Update 11/8

EA has now posted the other two previous updates in the download section for those that want to go back to the update that still had the players now missing. I think the patch corrected the issue with not having roster updates in the roster download section. Again this is PS3, as apparently the 360 still has nothing in the roster download section.

Re: Roster Update 11/8

It's nice to see them finally using this area of the Online menu. I noticed, too, that by dl'ing the rosters from this menu prompts you to save it for offline use...instead of downloading online rosters and then having to save them manually for offline use (if that made any sense).

Re: Roster Update 11/8

Hey fellas, I just got the game for the ps3 as I now buy all sports titles 1-2 months after release to avoid the inevitable misery that comes with waiting for a patch to fix something important to me. Neither here nor there I have the patch but I am still trying to grasp the issues with the rosters so I figured I would ask.

Do I have to use the 11/2 roster to avoid having star players sent to the AHL?

If not, what roster download still had the 200+ prospects that were removed ?

I am not the biggest hockey fan I just love the dynasty mode in the NHL series, for someone who doesn't really know who the prospects really are is it a big deal not having them in the game? Meaning are they replaced with equally talented cpu generated prospects?

Does it really affect the quality of players in the league down the road? 200+ prospects seems like it might to me.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Roster Update 11/8

All the updates shown are good as far as the star players being sent to the NHL. The first two updates should have the prospects missing from the latest update. It probably won't be too big of a deal though if you don't really know who the players are. It's not a big deal to me.

Re: Roster Update 11/8

or since you waited for 2 months prior to purchasing this game (i promised myself i'll do this next year) you could wait for couple of days for the upcoming roster update. though its not sure if these players missing in AHL will be in that update. EA said that they will update the rosters every 2 weeks (hopefully they'll do that), so if the update was made Nov2 expect that the next one will be on the 16th.

...because EA always sticks to their schedule.

Re: Roster Update 11/8

So far I dont see Kyle Palmieri on the Ducks or on their AHL team.
Kyle Palmieri was called up from AHL and scored his first NHL Goal in his first NHL game and he is still on their roster.
He was a college hockey player and is able to be in the AHL and called up to NHL. Kinda messed up EA would leave out a kid who scored his first NHL goal.
