Any delays are on the MS end. Seems they have some thing called Kinect coming out that has them pretty busy. Does that solify the theory too?

For some reason -- again don't know the details -- the problem was re-introduced with the 11/2 update. However, EA released another update on 11/4 solely to fix the problem: One important thing to note is that teams will send high-end NHL players to the AHL during the preseason to get around the 23-man roster restriction. However, the CPU teams should now be recalling their best players for the regular season. At least that's how I understand it; haven't had the time to play around with it this week.

Thanks for the info. I had no idea. This is actually a nice attention to detail by EA then that the cpu would play prospects in the pre-season. Obviously an expanded roster would be more ideal, but at least the pre-season isn't just regular NHL'ers playing meaningless games.

Redshirt, I appreciate your clarification and all your interactions with the community at OS, but you don't even need to acknowledge these smucks and their childish conspiracy theories, you're above that man

Made me laugh. As a 360 user, hope Microsoft can get the patch through sooner rather than later

i really appreciate your work in informing us here, please dont get me wrong.

but my question is this: how come that every time EA release this product, it seems that it didnt pass through extensive quality test. perfect example is the roster update, that you need to re-release another one to cure the AHL bug which could have been prevented if it was properly tested. (again, i appreciate EA for correcting them immediately).

Regarding tuner updates, most of these are answering the problems of ONLINE not offline. Why is it that offline users (using BaGM mode) are seems being left out? THink whatever, but somehow this kind of actions of EA leave offline patrons feels being left out.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but I just want to ask. Have you ever worked in QA before?
