      Weird they released this when the trade deadline in Monday. Could have just held it until then.

        That would have been the smart thing to do. And that's why they didn't. Haha. Watch, now we won't get the next roster until playoffs.

            Makes you wonder how closely the developers actually follow the NHL. Did they know there is a trade deadline on Monday?

            Seems like they could've saved themselves a lot of work if they just waited a few days: made one roster update instead on now having to make a second one.

              Well, I for one think it's a pretty smart move. Their roster is now up-to-date and ready to be revised as per what happens at the deadline. This will give them more time to focus on trade deadline moves and get the next update out quicker.

              Not sure why everyone is complaining about this? There's no way they don't come out with a deadline version.

                I wonder if it's to give people the option to have the proper rosters before the deadline, so they can decide who they want to go where when it does conclude?

                  Yeah, I don't mind at all. I'll work on my roster (from this most one as a base) this weekend, and just update for the deadline. After that I'll be good to go right away with my post-deadline BaGM.

                      i think that was my last nhl game purchase. i wish EA would look at sony studios and see what they are doing on mlb the show. i play mlb the show all year long and i never get fet up. nhl i play for the 1st week or two and i quit.

                        ^^^ Uh... this is a thread about rosters.

                        Damn, can't say I'm surprised they didn't bump his speed and missed that.


                        I am surprised by the timing of this. Nice to have an update prior to the deadline for those of us who make our own changes though. Hopefully though it doesn't mean we've got to wait 2 weeks or so for a post trade deadline roster.

                          So if you guys are making your own changes off of this roster right after the deadline, is there a way to move the draft pics that were traded prior to starting a BeAGM?

                          Also, anyone know where Philip Larsen is in this roster. He got traded from the Oilers to the Canucks a few days ago but I can't find him on either team or their AHL squads.

                              Did they include the Ladd trade?
