Where is Cole Eiserman?

DisappointingEA_Aljo​ 

I know its not your job, but i didnt get an answer on my question on my latest post about this. Why is not Eiserman in the newest roster update? What are stopping you guys from adding him? I really feel like this is just to hook us offline players in to 27, you are not adding him beacuse of some licensing right? Yet many players at the start of the year, just under Ahl pto (Oliver wahlstrom for example) was added to the ahl roster, without an nhl contract. You have the license to use him in wjc mode, hut but not to add him in the licensed roster where is under contract and have debuted in? Super super disappointed.

    Hi there. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, we don't have the rights to have him in the game. Players get added in the beginning of the new season. Due to being this late in the season, we'll have to wait until a future game before we have the rights to include him.

    But you have him in the game already? Make it make sense.

    This is an player featured in 2 other modes, 2 ahl games down already? This is bs. Totally unfair, great job letting fans down guys.

    We have limited rights as to how he can be used in the game. This isn't something we have any control over.

    well, disappointing but thanks for your clarification anyway

  • Eiserman, although drafted by the Islanders in 2024. He didnt sign an entry level contract until Mar 26. As well as an AHL contract around the same time. Walstrom signed a 3 year entry level contract in 2019 with the Islanders. Not sure where your headed with your complaint. Unless a player is under a contract recognized by the NHLPA. He is ineligible to be used by EA in their game. Being drafted, doesnt make them eligible, until a contract is signed, allowing them to  play in either the NHL. AHL or ECHL.
