NHL Legacy

Dear EA,

Since NHL Legacy for XBOX 360 is more a roster update than anything, is it too much to ask that its rosters be updated, or even unlocked for users to edit more freely for single player use?  For hardcore hockey fans that don't much care for HUT or online play, waiting months for you to update rosters makes our product pretty unplayable.  I don't code so I don't know how hard it would be to make the game more customizable, but I think that one reason you artificially impose limits on users regarding the customization of teams, league structure, rosters, players, draft pick ownership, and more or less everything in the game, is because you want to restrict the replayability of each edition and incentivize users to purchase yearly iterations of the game that sport only incremental improvements.  But with NHL Legacy, you needn't do so; it is the last iteration of the game on last-gen systems, the next-gen sees significant new in game features unavailable on last-gen and to be fair it is essentially a full price roster update.  Let people play with it; your customers will probably be more inclined to jump into the new gen if you invest in making them happy.  Like customization and sharing features seem like givens as features for this type of game in this day and age.

Or at least release some strong roster updates.

    Ding ding ding ding... Exactly! People can gripe all they want about gameplay and features and what-not. The one thing that people should NEVER have to gripe about is the roster database! There's only two ways to maintain the rosters -- the right way and the wrong way. The fact that there are people who have full lists in the EA forums about a bajillion roster issues within the game clearly suggests that the NHL development team clearly has the wrong people hired to handle the roster database.
