[babaracus88]

Here is a poll to see how many people want roster sharing in NHL19 and would consider not buying the game if its not in the game. Its on facebook please share this and vote. Hopefully this will either get back to the development team or show that not enough of us really care if its in the game or not.

Unfortunately only 35 people bothered to vote and EA is not going to care what 35 people think despite 94% of those people wanting it. That poll needed numbers in the hundreds to even have EA blink at it.....

As a "retired" Gamechanger I can assure you that they are perfectly aware that people want Roster share.

Do you think they don't consider it worth the time & manpower to add, or do you think it's something else?

We never really got a serious answer "why", unfortunately.

I remember last time we asked (face to face) at the EA office, Andy Agostini started to laugh loud and asked us: "Why you guys want it so much". We told him the obvious reasons and that was it, this reaction, that was his answer to this question.

My personal opinion is that until the roster itself is such a huge selling point for the NHL game every year, we won't get it. It would just hurt their sales way too much.

They know everyone wants roster sharing but I'm sure that would hurt their future sales and doesn't make business sense. And not much changes from year other than rosters/schedules. But I will say that last year's game was a step in the right direction with the create a team/franchise edits.

The part that still bums me out is there really isn't much differentiation between the starts and the 4th liners.

I wish they would let me make rosters again. It’s very disheartening to hear that the game changers were laughed at when they brought this up. If they think that the rosters are a selling point that is a real shame. They need someone with some fresh ideas in that office.

How in Gods name would that affect sales? That makes no sense considering other sports games have had it for years.....there is no single good reason to not have this very basic feature. I do have a theory but I’m sure it’s not popular....EAs online money making cash cow HUT is to blame. There is zero player separation in this gane and while EA denies it their own memos confirm that there is a balancing mechanism in place for online play. This is why an 82 card sometimes plays like your 99 card....if EA allowed roster share the great roster guys around here would put out their great revamped rosters which would in turn really make the BS online rosters and shenanigans stand out. As it is EA is in constant battle mode trying to hide ice tilt....the past two years we’ve heard about better player separation and it’s simply not there.....so why does EA refuse to give an honest answer to no roster share and why do they refuse to have any type of player separation at all unless it’s to keep a fair balance to teams in online play.
