Receiving a Full Roster glitch in EA NHL 15 GM Mode on Xbox One
I recently restarted my GM mode on NHL 15 after downloading the latest set of roster updates. I'm playing as the Buffalo Sabres and I noticed that Sabres Prospect 🕹️ Andrey Makarov is not in the system or contracts in GM Mode. In addition, after the latest roster update, a (F) Justin Mercier is listed as one of the contracts and as a prospect of the Buffalo Sabres. However, in real life, he isn't. He is playing for the Rochester Americans in the AHL, affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres, but he is not a Sabres prospect, just a signing by the Rochester Americans.
After manually removing (F) Justin Mercier from the roster and beginning GM Mode once again, I checked for the location of Sabres Prospect 🕹️ Andrey Makarov. Once again he didn't appear on the Sabres contract roster and once again he was located in Free Agency. After checking all my contracts and the contract count in the manage contract menu and the trade menu, it revealed (as I was expecting) 49/50 Contracts. I then went back to the Free Agents page and submitted a contract offer with 🕹️ Andrey Makarov. After sim-ing a few days along with playing the first couple games I received this message:
"Offer Rejected, I would have accepted your offer but your roster is full." After receiving this I thought I would return one player to the Amerks (as I had 23/23 on the main roster) thinking that maybe that would work and tried again. Once again I received the Full Roster message.
In addition I'd like to point out the Jersey's of the Buffalo Sabres aren't accurate.
- The number style isn't correct for the home and away jerseys. By this I mean in particular, the number 2. In the game the number 2 is squared throughout, however, the Jersey in real-life the middle section is diagonal.
- The number style is to thick. In real-life the Gold on the Home and the Blue on the away is slimmer. Additionally the white boarder on the home and the blue boarder on the away are more visible and thicker.
- The names on the back of the jersey and also to thick and they are spaced to far apart.
- The Navy Blue in the game (in my opinion) isn't as dark as it should be.
- The letters on the alternate jersey aren't accurate.
Obviously I would like to see the Full Roster glitch in GM mode corrected and hopefully we'll see more attention to detail by EA in the future of this series. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has identified team detail errors. I hope to see accurate goalie masks in the future and accurate goal horn additionally as well. I miss having those features. Hopefully the next game will have (on the One) all of the game modes and features that NHL 15 is missing.
"Let's go Buffalo!"
