It could simply be that their hands are tied, though it would be nice to hear this from them.

There were still players missing late in the season last year from EA's rosters in the AHL.

I understand the licensing part of the equation, thats why the decision to not allow roster sharing is really a head scratcher. They take the ability away from the community and come out with this, its just not a smart way to handle your consumers what so ever. This coupled with the state of bugs in this game overall and I think some of these sites and reviewers really need to re review this game and give it the 7.5-8.0 rating it deserves.

Like I said previously, this isn't a licensing issue. If it were there'd be 1-2 players from each AHL team missing not 6-10 players. 6 of the 8 missing players on Peoria were previously in the game in the CHL! I mean you look at who's missing in this update and you get a list full of surefire future NHL'ers, a lot of whom will make their NHL club this season. Ian Cole is the biggest one missing in the Blues organization. And then you have players like Jacob Markstrom, Linus Omark, Tyler Cuma, Kyle Beach, Cody Hodgson, etc etc ALL missing. So basically if your team has a top prospect in the AHL, don't expect him to be in this update. It's absolutely atrocious that we waited 60+ days for opening night rosters and we get this garbage.

Okay, so they were in the game as part of the CHL. The CHL is three amateur leagues, no licensing needed. The AHL is a professional league with its own players union (PHPA), and AHL players need to be members of the PHPA to be in the game. Former CHL players that are new to the AHL may not yet be members of the PHPA, hence not yet in the game (or not now in the game). Again, it would be nice to hear this from EA, and perhaps they'll say as much in that blog post regarding the roster update that was promised.

I'm very anxious to read this upcoming blog. But knowing EA, it'll be delayed for about two months and when it comes out there will be huge chunks of paragraphs missing and random words inserted everywhere.

Ya but what about the random players that have been added to AHL teams just to fill out the rosters?? I.E. Matt Zaba on Peoria

You gotta make sure you only have 23 players on your roster, send down scratched players until you reach 23 or less.

im not really into the color or type of equipments each player is using (sorry if this may offend some of you), but what im disgusted about this roster updates is that, how come, EA did a marvelous job on releasing current roster update for season 2010-11 of their NBA LIVE 2010????

I dont know if Im just missing it, but in the Manitoba Moose roster, I cant see Cody Hodgson. WHY IS THAT???? i mean this kind of GLARING MISTAKE is HORRIBLE.
