Seriously, taking away our ability to share rosters and then waiting 2-3 weeks to give us a decent one to start a season with... Unacceptable.

This new roster better be amazing.

It wont be. People will always find something to gripe about because that's what we do here. We take a really good product, jack ourselves up about it and psych ourselves out and then when it's not perfect we tear it up to find things that are wrong with it. Even if it's just the smallest thing. Players will be overrated; players will be underrated, players wont be wearing the correct helmet or have the wrong handedness. There are 150 (give or take) teams in this game, things will be overlooked.

It does suck that they took away roster sharing and we can't edit contract years. However, nobody died from it and the earth is still turning.

When all is said and done, people are going to constantly complain that what EA does is never good enough. I just don't understand why those people don't edit their own rosters. I can't wait for the roster update and I think it will be really well done. Will it be perfect? No, it wont. EA Canada has tons of things to do aside from just correcting the roster. They're already working on NHL '12.

I dont know what all the fuss is about, I started an offline Be a GM a week after i tuned the rosters myself, using petr pucks roster moves and other sources(-sarcasm- I dont know, dont any of you follow what goes on in the off season?!!!) People are just lazy, and even when the rosters are updated through EA that is, YOU ALL WILL STILL COMPLAIN about why Tavares doesnt have 99 speed(sarcasm) or why ovechkins shot is 98 and not 99... (more sarcasm) cmon!!! Understandably so, there are going to be mistakes made, with the database growing every year, we help them correct as much as they can correct, but I honestly havent had too many problems, except for an occasional freeze up hear and there, and ofcourse i still dont understand the whole XP points system in offline, but whatever, my players ratings are growing and im fine with it... BUT, i know that a patch will fix all this... so i just keep playing, and i know so do and many others who complain. The world hasnt come to end for me and i see for a few others as well, but honestly do feel like the minority. We all know that once the patch is released, people will update while salivating to see the end results, yet they will find something else to hammer EA about... its never going to end..... just give feedback, and youll get results as a customer, DONT BE HYPOCRITE !!!

Here's the fuss....EA's roster updates are a disgrace. Ratings are always out of whack. Since they won't allow roster sharing, anyone who wants a decent roster now has to do it themselves. Some people you call "lazy" are people with jobs and family obligations and their free time is limited so editing rosters takes a back seat to more important matters. Roster sharing would be a godsend to those people
