Agreed... this should be standard by now.

These rosters continue to be thrown together once a month with zero care or attention detail. They updated a few rookies. But players like Brodie, lecavalier, and countless others stay at the same rating despite deserving increases/drops. They have removed Pens top prospect Derrick Pouliot from the game for some reason despite playing in the AHL all year. He was a 75 ovr with elite potential and had been in the game since launch.

Exactly. It's great they increased the few hot names that everyone has been clamoring for but they didn't actually improve the overall rosters at all otherwise. So many guys like LeCavalier and Jokinen are insanely overrated for this point in their careers. And plenty of lesser known players are still deserving of upgrades.

This has been my main barrier that keeps me out of GM or season modes. I just want the rosters to reflect the real life current rosters.

Also, i wish EA would let the rosters be managed by the community. I understand they aren't resourced well enough to keep the day-to-day line up ready to go, but if reddit can post a game thread with the current line ups every game, surely the EA NHL fan community could. Just give us the ability.

Several reasons I can think of:

1. No matter what numbers the put, ALL PLAYERS PLAY THE SAME WAY (line 4 Forwards/D3 Defense plays the same like L1 F and D1 Dmen.

2. Exposes their lack of attention to details - OS members are far better in creating rosters than EA.

3. Gameplay will not show you the difference even if they a higher attribute or not.


I am very sure many can still add their reasons why EA is not allowing us to edit rosters. Its already 2014 and we have now powerful consoles, still shocking why EA is not allowing this. There is/are reason/s whey they are not allowing us to have a complete control of the game we already bought.
