Hey there, @KCRUFF1
He'll have to play his first NHL shift in order to be added to the roster.

Sorry about that. What I mean is that once he plays his first NHL shift, he can be added in an upcoming roster update. We'll just have to wait for that to be released. Which, is normally after the beginning of the season. There are still teams that haven't played their first game yet so most likely, it'll happen shortly after that.

Connor Bedard is in the game playing for Regina in the WHL.
There really shouldn’t be any reason EA can’t assign players from this years draft to their teams when the players are already in the game.
At least he is on Chicago for Franchise Mode.In previous games they wait about a week after the season starts to update the rosters.

The reason: The NHLPA.
Ahh, thank you! Appreciate it

Reason is EA. The NHLPA is why they can’t add players who aren’t in the game, but EA is the reason the rosters aren’t up to date.
He’s a part of the Blackhawks when you start a franchise mode and previous versions of the game have had drafted players at launch even before the regular season started.He played yesterday in their first game of the season.
@EA_AljoAnd than remove all the old headshot pictures and replace with the new from the team sites. The new headshots are into the official NHL website since some weeks, so it was before the season start and before the game release. Don't know why you add every year pictures ( 22/23 season and older ) which are one year and older ? I think this game is for season 23/24 and not for season 22/23 ?

Release a damn roster update already, EA. We are a week into the NHL season now and the "current" downloadable roster was released on September 28th ffs...
It’s been over a week now and yet one of the most talked about players in NHL history is still not on the roster of his professional team. This will be the last year I buy this product after nearly 2 decades. With all your woke *… trying to shove women in every facet of the game is ridiculous. A female side reporter, and a female announcer with an annoying Canadian accent and a black and Asian female referee?? GTFO 😂😂
it’s not that I don’t want women being a part of the EA NHL, it’s the fact that you went so overboard with all of it.
Nope, not getting another $ from me.
A roster update was just announced to be released with the patch tomorrow.
Looks like it’s not an official “patch”, just an update for WOC Matchmaking.

Ok then, was curious to see what they had in that patch 🤔😉 Thanks 👍

Sure?

Great news for people playing 24 😀
I also saw this…. You think there is hope ? That would be huge !
😀
Ok it has been a couple of weeks since the season started and the teams have played 3-5 games. I play BaP and just saw in the "roster" section a roster as of 10/16 which is newer than the one I have. I downloaded it but Bedard is not on the Blackhawks (I got drafted to the Blackhawks). any reason why? thanks
