Did you ever use the November ones? All you have to do I think is make it active and it should automatically give you the presentation updates. If that's not it then I'm not sure because like I said it happened to me once a while back but I get good banners for goalies at start and other banners pop up during games. There is another bug that if you switch goalies or any player in the pre game edit lines screen that screws up the banners. Don't ask me how but is one of this "Gremlins" as I call them

Yeah, I'll have to try that. I skipped the first November update because I assumed EA made some glaring mistakes and uncharacteristically fixed them in a new update the next day. I switched back to 14 a while ago simply because the menus were so much simpler to navigate through and the gameplay is a lot less arcadey than 16. If I can fix this banner thing though, I might give 16 a second chance.

Nothing worked. I downloaded every update and even deleted and reinstalled the entire game and still the columns aren't wide enough.

I purchased the game on Black Friday and am enjoying it so far. This is my first hockey game, so the learning curve was big and this is very unforgiving on new hockey gamers so it took some time for me to get the controls down.

The few negatives that bother me are:
-The lack of roster updates. It should be weekly at worst if EA doesn't have the manpower to do rosters that reflect daily changes.
-Was disappointed I couldn't change jersey numbers. Brought up Brady Skjei from Hartford and his number was 6. Tanner Glass' number also changed from he was brought back up Hartford. Little things like that bother me. Full customization please.
-Also noticed that goalies don't get pulled when they are getting scored on. Where's the realism?

(1) Daily updates would be ludicrous, but weekly updates don't seem like too much to ask considering they don't change ratings.

(2) You can change jersey numbers -- pretty easily, in fact.

(3) Yes, they do. It depends on the team and circumstances. They even added an animation this year to show the change occurring on the ice.

How can I make that change?

I've never seen it. I've put up 6 on the Devils on multiple occasions and Cory Schneider was still out there. Same for going off on Tuukka Rask only for him to remain in net.
