NHL 26 update

And I notice that since the update HUT tries to download a new roster every time I start it, even when there is no new roster downloadable in the Roster menu. Anybody else notice this? It might be an issue with GamePass CloudGaming, since I do not play on console.

Hello. This is normal Unless you're getting an error it's taking unusually long. It should be quick though.

Edit: Pens07187​ Please get me a video of this issue and I'll report it to the team. Thanks!

No, this isn't normal

If you've manually downloaded the latest roster, it won't be downloaded every time you start HUT.

It's not uncommon to see the downloading roster message even after manually downloading the latest roster update. It would be an issue if it hangs on this screen though. Normally, it will load to the main HUT menu shortly.

That was the case when I did it last time there was a roster update. My HUT downloaded the roster every time I started it. When I downloaded the then newest roster update manually, it stopped. But now after the last update HUT started to download it again every time I start it. Not a big deal, I will wait and see if it stops with the next roster update again when I download that.

Yes, it is

If you manually download the latest roster update from the Roster menu, you NEVER see a message or experience a delay when starting HUT.

But that changed with yesterday's update 

Just take a look at the two comparison videos I linked 

Exactly matches my own experience.

I just sent a link and I’m able to see it so you should be able to see it also

I have manually downloaded the most recent roster update and get this message every time. Regardless, it's really only a problem if you can't get past this screen.
