Opinions on injuries being in roster updates?

[NHLandPESFan]

I would create a poll for this if I knew how. [UPDATE: Poll now available] I vote a big NO! It's bad enough playing the Devils nowadays without the surprise I got when starting up an online game the other day and having both Parise and Brodeur out. Plus the roster updates seem to be somewhat irregular so who knows how long I will have to wait to get them back after they come back in real life. I think this is getting a little too realistic, I mean what happens if EA decides not to do any more roster updates while Parise is still on the shelf, I would then lose him forever in online play?

Not a fan of it myself. I always edit the rosters and put the injured guys back in anyway.

I personally don't see the value of it for online either. I don't like the idea of a team being strong or weak from update to update because their full roster isn't available.

"No" for me as well. Once I start my franchise, my universe has no interaction with the real life NHL.

By the way, for next time, the ability to create a poll is under "Additional Options" below the new thread you just typed. There is a checkbox to create the poll.

A BIG NO here also. I agree with the statement above.
All I want is all the players in the game and on the right team!

Hey. EA is suppose to be a realistic representation of the NHL. If guys are hurt and out for a period of time then they should not be on the default online rosters.

I don't mind if they are out for online play. but if they are going to do this wit ht he offline rosters, I'd like one without the injuries, but with the new ratings.

I hate that I put Oshie back in, but now I play other teams without their injured players.

If EA wants up-to-date rosters, I wh they woudl go the full distance and do NHL Today tyye content.

Thanks, I have now added one.

either offline or online, i prefer to have the accurate roster but not necessarily reflect the injuries in the real nhl.
