Community ManagerPer the NHL Community Manager:
Patch will be live tomorrow at 11am ET Along with Roster Sharing and the HUT Content Migration, there are things like a shoot/pass bias attribute being added for created players and bug fixes including custom teams names/numbers not appearing on jerseys during gameplay.
@EA_Blueberry Glad to hear that the jersey numbers and names issue is included with roster sharing. This is something we've all been looking forward to.
Also, a shoot/pass bias attribute sounds very interesting. Things I am confused about with this is with whom it will have an effect on (human, or AI), and how it works specifically.
In terms of BAP, where you only control one player, is that where this attribute has an effect on the AI-controlled created player? A human player will pass if they want to pass, and they will shoot if they want to shoot, so I assume that this attribute won't have an effect on a human-controlled created player.
Hallelujah! May you and your family know great fortune for many generations.
I've been checking this thread daily for months and this makes it worth it.
Thank you!
@Jimmy_Douglass I too have been checking this particular topic days after days on end to see any updates on where this bug is at regarding a fix. Glad to see that it is included with the release of roster sharing tomorrow.

The shoot pass thing is added because all created players were all the way leaning to shoot by default and we couldn’t change that. It resulted in created players taking hundreds of more shots per season than in-game players.
I doubt the addition of the slider will impact anything already in the game.
@kyl_35 I can understand that. Now, created players can actually seem like they are rookies in between each season, eventually progress skill-wise, and have reasonable stats instead of averaging more shots per season than the top players in the league. I don't even think that most of the top players even shoot that much.
Yeah, an AI deciding whether to pass or shoot doesn't sound like something that will determine the result(s) of a game, just sounds like a very minor realism addition.
Glad to hear the number issue is finally corrected.
The slider is a huge bonus, hopefully it works well. I’m looking forward to people simming a few seasons and finding out if 7 or 8 actually on the 0/15 scale plays like a sim player rather than a created player or if it ends up needing to be really low.
any idea of the restricted free agent bug is corrected? Since the last patch when someone is a restricted free agent it always shows restricted no matter how many years you’re offering in franchise mode rather than flipping to UFA once you reach enough years on the offer that they’d no longer be restricted at the end of the contract.
It will be nice if that’s how it works. When I read it I understood that it would only be for created players based on how he said it and the pic being under the creation zone and not a live player.
Hopefully it is an attribute for everyone though, that would provide a little fine tuning.
finally!! great.
When this update in the finland time? didnt see it updates now.
Community ManagerHey, everyone.
Today a new patch released. Can you jump into a game and let us know if you're still experiencing this?
Patch notes can be found here.
@EA_Blueberry I have loaded into one game only using custom teams. All jersey numbers are showing. I am going to load into multiple games to make sure this isn't a very inconvenient coincidence.
Edit: 5/5 custom games loaded into. All of which had jersey numbers and names showing correctly. This issue is officially fixed. Thanks!
So I got them to work once, then I went to edit some of my custom teams and it freezes the game every time I try. Trying to play an exhibition game with these teams freezes the game as well. I can spend the time re-creating the teams that now don't work, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.
@EA_BlueberryNo logo showing up for me still on the UI in game but jersey numbers and names are showing up! Can't seem to draw a tripping/ slash or any stick penalty still even on max sliders.
Numbers and names are showing but when in expansion mode the gameplay freezes and glitches a lot
Community ManagerThank you. Sharing these details with the team.
Hello, Thanks again for being on top of this. I played an offline game with two custom teams and the logos were correct on the fans at the home arena. I played another game with a custom created team against the Hartford Whalers Alumni team at the created team's home arena (my Minnesota North Stars with what I think are better uniforms than what come with the game on the Alumni players). While the names and numbers appeared on the created team's jerseys, unfortunately the Ducks logo is still showing on the fans. Here's a picture. Hoping they can use this to finally put this nasty bug to bed. Cheers and thanks again!

The team is aware of these two above related to this topic. I'm going to mark this post solved since it was specifically called out for numbers. Thank you everyone for your patience on this one. It was one of the highest priority items tracked here on the forums.
