Sweet. They are up, and they finally gave Tim Thomas some due. Bout damn time..

mkharsh33 · 03-12-2009, 04:35 PM

so how are they looking?

i have spent a lot of time working on my set, so i'm a little reluctant to go with a new one as EA always seems to find a way to screw them up.

They seem pretty messed up. A lot of rating changes, etc. and line combos are wrong. Guess i'll have to redo my rosters again just so I have updated lines.....well, here we go again.

They are pretty ordinary to be honest and shows the lack of hockey knowledge or fans who work on the roster editing for EA!!

Can somebody please post the rosters in exchange format? Greatly appreciated.

I scrolled through every NHL & AHL team in the edit lines screen last night to check things out. Yes, the line combos aren't that accurate -- I don't pretend to know every teams combos, but I know the Penguins and they were off -- but there is the tricky matter of incorporating long-term injuries into the rosters and lines.

Since the primary reason to put out the rosters is for online play (meaning we can't scratch/dress players), EA would likely take a ton of flak if they scratched players who are out of action -- especially stars and especially this late in the season when a lot of teams have a few significant players out of action. Now some people may actually like the idea of Marty Brodeur (I know he's back, but for an example) being unavailable for Devils while he was injured, but you can bet that most people who like to use the Devils online wouldn't be too happy about it. This means that those players are left on the roster/lines at the expense of others, thus complicating who's dressed and on a particular line. It seems their philosophy is to have the best players on the team available for online gamers...

Now I'm not necessarily defending or denying the fact that there are obvious errors that are not be due to roster limitations or similar issues. I'm just saying that in many cases it's not because someone was lazy or didn't know/care. Yes, they could be a lot better, particularly when you get into line combos and special teams units. But, getting those details right would take a lot of research, which means time, which would delay the release. Pick your poison I guess...

[DISCLAIMER: for the record, I'd rather wait and get the best possible product, but I'm sure that's not the case with a lot of their customers]

And remember, Fiddy posted a link to the EA forums where you can post what you think the line combos should be...
