Waited this long for this.And of course players are missing.I use Carolina and Jake Bean is gone!Added prospects with no portrait.Any roster maker could have done better.And still can't add legends.

They'll be back once the AHL plays. So either next update or the one after. It's a known licensing issue they have every year.

Happy they've done a big CHL update earlier in the year. Now we just need to wait for the AHL process. AHL/PHPA really need to try and streamline this one of these days.

Yeah, that's always the downside of the first roster update. Gain the NHL debuts & updated CHL, but lose the majority of guys transitioning from junior to the AHL. Which can be some pretty important prospects since they can't put them in until they have the signed PHPA waiver.

Usually the majority of them are back in a November update, but that seems far off if you're looking to start a franchise. I often wonder if it's better to start one before this update, as I assume you miss out on fewer prospects in total.

Wish they'd give us the option to 1) share rosters, but at the very least, 2) import/export players like you can with MLB The Show. I'll await the next one. No rush on my end. We do this drill every year.

They're still missing 2017 AHL rookies like Jeremy Bracco, Jonne Tammela and Jeremiah Addison, who weren't even in last year's game!

I know for Buffalo/Rochester they're missing Will Borgen, Andrew Oglevie and Brandon Hickey, three important prospects. They're also missing Sabres prospect Matej Pekar who plays for Barrie, and three of our defenseman in the SHL and Liiga.

Frederic, Kuhlman, Hughes, Sherman, Gilbert, Dickinson, O'Connor, Shvyryov, Point, Calderone, L'Esperance, Pope, Marody, Vesey, Vesel, Kiselevich, Rempal, Eyssimont, Evans, Anderson, Yakovlev, Johnson, Sharangovich, Seney, Lindgren, Sturtz, Angello, Lafferty, Birks, Praplan, Letunov, Radil, Foley, Stevens, Poganski, Colton, Shumakov, Samsonov, Pinho, Suess, Cajkovsky...those are just important prospects they're missing from the NCAA or a couple from Russia, not including the CHL prospects they just took out.

So let's say they're missing like 75-100 important prospects that belong in GM mode...they had all summer to get these waivers signed, they know for the most part who will be in the AHL.

It's not on EA. It's the PHPA waiver, which can't happen until players actually end up in the AHL. Has nothing to do with the video game.
