Cheapest i can find it is at shopto.net £42.84 with free release date delivery. Everywhere elses seems to be £50+
I cant find anywhere details of the players included though, do we think it will be this years roster as there wont of been too much time for the devlopers to put the players in the game. I have no idea how long this takes so may just be a really quick thing to do for all i know.

It will be current. They are very good at that but I dare say our stats will make us very hard to use. People use the GB national team for easy wins in HUT.
To be fair though those stats are probably accurate.
Be fun to see us in it though.

Don't know long long it takes, but pretty sure they will have been working on it well before the press release. Also they probably take a lot of comparables based on players that have previously been in the game like Billingsley, Mosey, etc

It'll be this season's roster, and as the game isn't out till mid-September, it'll give the devs chance to watch some games and create opinions of players they aren't aware of. There's only a few teams they actually need to do work to as the Swedes, Finns, Swiss, Czech's, Germans etc.. are in the game already. The players probably won't look too much like they do in real life but hey, it's still going to be fun.

They will be focussing on the core squads in the game. Focussing on getting the NHL rosters right as players are moved around. I don't think they'll be watching our games. This is probably good though as hopefully they'll just make us around the DEL level so the team is playable. What will be interesting is if they have put any research into the player models. This will be blatantly obvious if David Clarke is white.

Good point, probably a quick glance at Elite Prospects and rank all the Brits at about 30 overalls I'd be surprised if Garnett isn't our highest rated player.

I'm doubtful, but I will be pleasantly surprised if the real Panthers roster names are included in the game. Experience of the EA NHL games shows, however, that they just use fictitious names for the lesser, and international teams.. Even the Team GB jersey in the game is nothing like reality, and I assume it is the same for other nations outside the top 6 or 12. I believe some of that is due to copyright and image right agreements between EA, NHL and other leagues.
Whilst they can update roster names, images and capabilities as downloadable patches, they generally haven't in the past. The game will have been completed for production a few weeks ago.
My expectation is that they may have the correct CHL jerseys (CHL probably has the rights to those designs, and licensed them to EA), and *maybe* they will have the player names and numbers... but the players in the game most likely haven't been 3D scanned and the different stat ratings will probably be kind-of-made-up and disappointingly low, and won't reflect our relative impressions we get of the players as the season progresses :-)

How did you supply those images then when half a dozen of them aren't here yet ? They just need the faces and their graphics will be used as they panthers uniform, pretty simple really . The CHL are on the credits that a why all rosters will be accurate unlike National teams of year's past ! Very very exciting indeed It doesn't take any work for them to add names to rosters in the comong weeks UK release date is September 15th

Yeah it states in the article that players are included.
Can't wait to lead a Brit team to European glory, just because of the jerseys I might do it with the Panthers.

We've been asked to supply the images when all are taken, the game will have regular updates where teams add player profiles as teams chop and change etc.

Even a thread about a computer game manages to get a bit of Panthers bashing in it. It's not bashing. It's realistic expectations of Electronics Arts from those of us who have been playing this game for years. It is fantastic news and I'm looking forward to using Panthers jersey and such in HUT. It's just no secret some lower end teams are hard to enjoy in this game due to low stats. No one is unhappy. But it'd be remiss if people who are thinking of buying a console for the primary reason of playing the Panthers were not told how the system works. Panthers images put a lot of worries to bed.

That's good news that they have real pics and names! I do like the EA NHL games. NHL 17 got the game balance right for me. I always found Rookie mode way too simple, and Pro mode just seemed bent sometimes (Fleury often had save% of around 60!) but Semi-pro was just right (for my cack handed ability level)
