EA Sports NHL 2012

You would go to the online section of the game and select download rosters

Hmmm, I think I did...

Is it worth updating and getting Z-Bad - and if so...how do I do it?

Zibanejad is sick for Binghamton in my Be a GM. Get him!

First AHL goal!

Of course it's worth updating!!!! To download the updated rosters, you need to go through the menus in-game. Under the Xbox Live menu, I believe there is an option to "Download Rosters", then you pick the newest one (I think there's only one available), and then when it asks to overwrite your existing rosters, pick Yes. This will not overwrite or change any rosters in your Be a GM mode, so don't worry about that. I'm not sure if, with the updated rosters, guys like Svatos are still on the Sens?

I played a bunch of my Be a Pro, and the HUT mode last night. Good times.

Must have Z-Bad, gonna do it tonight.

I think you might need a gold membership FYI, don't know if you have one or if that is even still the case.

I read there's still a few error with the update. Leclaire still on Sens, just as a lot of other UFAs are on their last teams, not in the FA list.

Yeah, I don't know why they do that. I haven't checked myself for any errors, but having FAs on their old teams just seems odd. I'm sure there must be a reason other than laziness/errors.

They have also gotten the handedness wrong for some players, though I looked into some of the players they got wrong once, and depending on the site you went to, some said (even the AHL site for example, LH when the player is really RH).

I'm not defending them, cause they need to have better support for these games.

I'm also dealing with not being able to use my name Steve online for my EASHL pro, since Steve is a profane name

I love the fact that we can hit goalies in this one, it's about time. They always had some sort of force field around them before which was quite irritating when you were pissed and wanted to give them a nudge.

Do they ever fight back though? I haven't played often enough yet to know..just curious

WTF!!

Yup, pretty stupid. Can't get to the bottom of it either.

I agree the goalies being fair game is cool. I have found that if you hit another team's goalie (after the whistler cause there's no penalty) that it will automatically initiate a fight for you, which means if an opposing player chooses to, you will have to fight. I like that - forced accountability.

I ended up fighting a computer (by accident) because I was pressing Y repeatedly (hehe) after the whistle and a computer AI player bumped our goalie. So the other team had a "man advantage" of sorts because my team was down one human controlled player.

But a human goalie can also fight and not have to sit for 5+ mins, but another human (if there is one) will have to sit in his place. So it sucks for that person.

I was Halak and I beat up Patrick Sharp. I knew there were goalie fights, but I didn't know a goalie could fight a skater. Kind of want Sugar Ray Emery on my team now.

Did my first fantasy draft last night to start my Be a GM mode. Wound up with Zibanejad, Couturier, Nugent-Hopkins, Larsson, Cowen, Huberdeau, Butler, Colborne, Gromley, Filatov, etc....hilarious. All those guys were taken in the later rounds.

Also, it was funny to see that the two highest rated players NOT taken in the draft were Alfie and Gonchar. I couldn't bear to see this, so I signed Alfie as a FA, and now he can play out his career on my 3rd and 4th lines, with PP duty.

RAGE! I tried last night, what the Diddle is this gold membership rubbish!

Does PS3 require membership for updates?

I don't intend to purchase a gold membership for this game, if I get it at all. If PS3 offers updates without any special membership, that makes my decision easy.

No, PS3 you don't need to spend any additional money to play. But, for the money XBOX charges, they make up for it in gameplay quality. PS3 has had its issues, and if they charged money to use their services, they could put hat money into better things.
