As somebody who has been playing EHM for years now, this is awesome! Thank you very much for your continued work on this.

I do have one question though. I downloaded the first version you released, but I think it was the beta version, and attributes were not updated. In the OP here, it says the attributes were updated. So was 1.0 the first version to have that update, or was I just not seeing them in the beta version? Sorry if this is in the discussion thread, I thought this would be easier.

BTW, I look forward to discussing this game with this great community, here's to keeping EHM alive!

The pressure is on racicot, our Q researcher. Lets hope he can do an as awsome research as Manimal did on OHL.

What exactly do you mean by "scouting system"?

matt44 · Post by **matt44** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 2:59 pm

well before when I scouted players the scout report game alot more info than the new version.

In this version I have scouted alot of players and haven't seen a "projected player comparison" whereas every player had one on V1.0.

Post by **batdad** » Thu Dec 25, 2008 12:10 am

Nothing to do with the database.Lidas cannot change the way scouting works. That is had coded into the game. Reports are reports. Issue could be a crummy scout, or just that that player has no player to compare to. Would not go by it anyway as to how you pick players. I think it once called Jagr a similar but bigger version of Brendan Morrison...um yeah.

I'm so happy I'll post the infamous dancing banana

geobaldi · Post by **geobaldi** » Thu Dec 25, 2008 7:41 am

A great update!!!!

Only real problem that I've seen is that Lake Erie has been incorrectly placed. Currently it is categorized as an ECHL team, when it is actually an AHL team. Other than that everything else seems to be fine.

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT WORK!!!

Yes. and I'm fully aware of that problem (its also mentioned in the readme file).

The reason why its there is because AHL can only host 27 teams in the game whereas it has 29 teams IRL. (The other team missing is Rockford IceHogs)

geobaldi · Post by **geobaldi** » Thu Dec 25, 2008 10:14 am

Oops. I totally missed that part of the readme lol. My mistake.

Again, a stupendous job!!!

Since I'm new to this site, are there plans to do these updates each season?

or at least until we can convince them to make a new version lol

racicot · Post by **racicot** » Thu Dec 25, 2008 8:50 pm

thanks a lot lidas...my research is probably going to hit a terrible stand still because of this....

Seriously, though, thanks for all of the work, I know that it is incredibly time consuming and repetitive!
