Wow did they finally add the missing AHL guys? I'm happy but it's pathetic that it takes this long.

It's better. They re-rated a few players. Mcdavid = 92

Revamped rosters has new updates and better attributes settings then ea sports does. These are based off of ea sports overalls and attributes to begin with.

Not that many care but I don't understand why they lowered Derek Mackenzie's rating. Having a better start to the season than last season in a team that is playing very bad right now. EA musn't like age.

Just a heads up, Mark Arcobello, Raphael Diaz, Corey Potter, Dustin Jeffrey, and Maxim Noreau. Spaling, and probably others still have rights held by NHL teams despite playing in foreign leagues.

The problem with this is when you start franchise they end up on NHL rosters. To fix it, go to player movement, and transfer them to an AHL team, select "free agent" for their rights, and then transfer them back to their Euro club.

You have to go to the "Active Roster" page and then go to the left side of the screen. Click on the December 15th roster and wait until you see a green check pop up next to it, this means it is now your active roster and usually takes like 15 seconds or so to load it
