I dont know why we try to politly make him understand what the deal for us. He dosent want to understand what we are saying. This forum is exclty how EA treat its player who want to play the part of their game that dosent require us the more than we already pay. They dosent even care period.
Community ManagerWe have never announced roster updates far in advance. There will be an update, but we don't give out dates. Normally, they are announced the day before.
It was not meant to be a condescending comment. I'm stating the fact that the mode is technically playable. It's not broken. It takes time to put updates together and especially right after the draft/FA, there's a lot of movement. If we put out an update today, most likely people would be upset that it didn't include yesterday's moves. Normally, by the time the game releases in mid-September, rosters are pretty accurate. Once the new season starts, an update releases shortly after to include rookies and additional moves. Since it's only been about a week, it's going to take time to get the update complete.
I absolutely get the frustration. We want rosters to be up to date and will do all we can to get this to happen as fast as possible. If we could snap our fingers and make it happen, we would, but there's a lot more involved than you're thinking as there are hundreds of players across all the leagues to assign.
There's also no date for updates for any of the other modes. If we truly only cared about HUT, that's all that would be available. We also wouldn't have significantly updated Be A Pro if that were the case. There wouldn't be so much of a focus on WoC as well or gameplay for that matter. It's not all about HUT, but that's the assumption people make when they feel their particular issue isn't being addressed.
Then push the game back, I get it’s not your fault , but if you can’t release a game that has every game mode realisticly playable, then you shouldn’t release the game yet, id much rather wait for a game that I don’t have to wait to start franchise than a game where I’m only logging onto to check for roster updates
Community ManagerPushing the game back doesn't make much sense when there are other modes where rosters aren't an issue. If you guys need to wait until the rosters are more accurate, that's definitely understandable, but I don't see the point in holding the entire game back because one mode doesn't have players that moved in the last week.
It’s not just franchise it’s be a pro too, the game mode that was most advertised isn’t playable for most the fanbase until a roster comes out, the game is just hut and world of Chel right now, and hut wouldn’t even work for me, couldn’t purchase packs, kept getting an error message saying the pack is no longer available
Community ManagerThat message normally means you have hit the limit for that pack. You can see the limits on the HUT home screen in the main tile.
It was the first pack I bought..... I opened a bunch of loyalty and preorder packs before if that had something to do with it
Community ManagerThat's a separate issue so we should either discuss this in PMs or start a new thread so this one stays on topic.
Incorrect. There are 3 core modes in NHL ‘21. Franchise, BAP, and ultimate team. Right now 2 out of 3 are failing to deliver an experience we pay $60 for. Would you buy a car if you were guaranteed to only have 25% of the features able to be used upon purchasing? Probably not.
What you mean to say is why push the game back when updated rosters don’t matter for Ultimate Team? The mode that just happens to make the most money. Just be real lol. We’re all big boys we can handle it
Ok fair explanation! But I don’t know if you have been online? There are people ( like petrpuck would back in the days) that are doing the rosters on different files. If EA thinks it’s too much work to do accurate rosters than why not add shared rosters in the game and you will never hear us complaining again because with all due respect they do a better job than you guys at EA.
Roster sharing would fix all these problems there’s no reason it shouldn’t be in the game if madden has it
It has been said that there will be an update on October 16th
Where?
Thank god, do you think it will be available at launch?
I’d guess like 10/11 am ET
100% right all the way!
Does anybody know when we’re getting this update today? Literally the whole community is waiting right now. Might be a while though they haven’t even bothered to change any social media sites or anything yet. according to their Instagram the game is still “Out everywhere on October 16th” and “Available now for pre order”. Lol can’t even change your bio or make a post for the * release of the game what a joke that is, just an absolute mess all around, can’t believe they tricked us into thinking we were finally getting a good game this year, or atleast a game they would care about, we’ve been clowned yet again
Community ManagerIt's early in the day still. The roster update is planned to release today.
Community ManagerYou don't have to invest money in HUT. You can also play WoC, BAP, Online Versus or any of the other modes. The game is not unplayable. I understand you feel it's unplayable due to not having up to date rosters though. As far as when it drops, I don't have a time. It's planned to happen today.
Community ManagerWe'll have to agree to disagree as the majority of the game has no way to spend anything extra. I'm very sorry you have to wait some additional hours for updated rosters. We'll get it released as soon as possible.
