I posted this in OS but if anyone knows this I'd appreciate the help. Is there a way to set up your roster and lines before you search for a game? I have the players picked up before trade deadline and some previously injured ones as scratched. Any way to include these guys and make up my own lines rather than use the default lines?
nope. you cant. in the NHL 07, and 08 you could. you could move guys around etc, and as long as you didnt scratch or unscratch a player it would stick for online games. this was huge for us league guys. setting up all lines, PP, PK, etc.. then in NHL 09, they stripped the game of that ability. i guess cheesers were exploiting something with it that made them take it out. imagine that, ea not knowing how to fix the issue, so they take it out. LOL..
