Why don't they allow us to share rosters again?

Re: NHL 16 Roster Update Released, Now Includes Rookies
I imagine the engine work and server work that they would have to do would be pretty substantial. They would need to create the programming to save, send and receive the rosters in the game itself, and then create the settings to allow the Playstation or XBox to connect to a given server.
On top of that, they would have to manage and monitor those servers, which is just extra money.
Not exactly meant as a sleight against EA, but they've had their hands full just getting the game into a functional state on the Next-Gen systems. Honestly, a lot of the things we've been wishing for aren't likely until they can get a good foundation to work on (which NHL16 looks like it might finally be).
That said, the feature would be incredible, especially if it was paired with a better player/face editor. EA could cut back on their 'official' rosters, and just let players create and share their own. Guys like the Revamped Team did wonders with editing and adjusting the players and rosters, then using a work-around to deliver them to the people. It breathed a lot of new life into the game, and got me back to playing NHL14 after months of sitting it on the shelf.
Shared rosters would be huge for the game (along with shared sliders, assuming they worked...and, since I'm already dreaming editable jerseys that you could share, similar to the old NCAA football games). I know EA has a ton of stuff to do, and honestly, it's a complete waste of the community that plays the game to not allow them to create and share their own rosters. There are guys that know their team front-to-back, similarly there are people who follow the junior teams and AHL teams just as closely, and would be more than happy to make needed roster and attribute edits. We just need EA to take the chains off and let us work.Comment

Re: NHL 16 Roster Update Released, Now Includes Rookies
I can't speak to NBA 2K, but The Show's roster creation is miles ahead of NHL. As is their player creation. To this day, I don't even really know how SCEA's roster updates of their own are, because I've never been worried about them. When I get the game, I find the opening day rosters that people on these forums have put together, download those, create myself to add to the Brewers, and start my season with great rosters that often have adjusted attributes, corrected pitch types for pitchers, and often revamped farm teams. The created players (if you're curious, head over to the MLB The Show Roster forums on this site, and check out Mo's Caps, the man pumps out tons of faces that look great, which is on top of the default faces that are often pretty solid themselves. I can usually tell right off the bat who a guy is supposed to be in game, which is more than I can say for a lot of the faces in the NHL series).
EA's NHL would definitely benefit from taking a page from SCEA and upping the roster sharing and player creation.Comment

Esa Lindell is missing for the Texas Stars, could not find him the Liiga either. So not sure if he is in the game or not.
Janmark did make they Stars roster and they upped his overall to a 75, was really when he was on the Swedish team.Comment

Re: NHL 16 Roster Update Released, Now Includes Rookies

-Upped Martin Jones (SJ) to an 84 starter potential
-Created Kyle Baun (RW, 79 ovr, CHI)
-Created Anders Nilsson (G, 82, EDM)
-Created Jordan Schmaltz (D, 73, STL)
-Created Jon Gillies (G, 78, CGY)
And I created two guys for the 2016 draft..
- Matthew Tkachuk (LW, 73, OHL London)
-Max Jones (LW, 73, OHL London)
And they are both Medium Elite potentials

Re: NHL 16 Roster Update Released, Now Includes Rookies
Why should we have to create anyone? I understand the CHL/AHL thing but there always ends up that there are missing guys who shouldn't be. No other sports game is as lazy and incompetent with it's rosters as the NHL series. I'm also sick of hearing about budget being an issue. Budget has zero to do with taking a few minutes to add the players picture to the game. Budget has zero to do with making a guy the wrong hand or 30 lbs lighter than he is. Budget has zero to do with the fact your play by play name list is the shortest in any sports game and has not grown since 2009. Budget has nothing to do with the fact that your game has barely changed since 2009. If budget truly has you that handcuffed then get out of the sports gaming industry. Time for a new developer to step in.Last edited by jake19ny; 10-16-2015, 06:01 AM.Comment

Re: NHL 16 Roster Update Released, Now Includes Rookies
Old photo of no 1 pick
No photo of no 2 pick
Old photo of no 3 pick
Just 3 of so many faults.
I suppose it would be hard to find a recent photo of Connor McDavid as he is so rarely mentioned by the media.
No way any one could have foreseen Jack Eichel making an NHL roster and thus anticipated the need for a picture, play call and player likeness!! ;-)
Shabby, lazy, unprofessional. Just like the game itself.Comment

Re: NHL 16 Roster Update Released, Now Includes Rookies
How about getting the names in the game, at least from the PA announcer!
I am getting tired of playing as Buffalo and hearing "goal scored by Number FIFTEEN! Assisted by "Number TWENTY-THREE!!"
It's been a while since I've played NHL, has this been an issue before, and if so, has it ever been addressed in a patch or anything?Comment
