[2025-26] xECK29x's Premier Pivot Database (v10.0.3 - 7/29/25)

[PantherB]

Thanks for all of the work gone into the rosters/database, keeping things up to date is really what keeps me coming back to EHM time and time again.

Do you know when the League Rules for the EIHL will be reverted back to normal? Enjoyed playing a save with the Elite Series rosters and rules but the rules are quite restrictive for a save which I'd love to last a long time.

The rules currently only allow 8 Import/Foreign players to be signed, and 8 in the game-day roster. Which for the Elite Series is correct and fully accurate. I don't think there has been a formal announcement by the EIHL yet regarding roster limits for the 2021-22 season but I'd imagine it will be back to pre-covid with 14 or 13 Imports in the game-day roster and pretty much no limit on how many can be signed. Is there any time frame as to when these changes might be implemented into the game?

Thanks!

You could easily modify those transfer rules via the editor, it should be pretty straight forward (change the basic data counts and the extra rules for the league). I don't plan on updating anything for those leagues until next season.

So I know I've been dragging my feet on another update for this release but I have better news, the 2021-22 DB is nearly ready for at least a beta release. There are still some things that need polishing (2020-21 player histories for lower leagues, schedules - especially around the Olympic games) but it is fully playable and the free agency fixes in 1.5 makes it a lot of fun to play in year one. I may publish a new workshop item for the 2021-22 DB for public testing next week and merge it with Pivot formally in July.

Thanks a ton for all your time and effort !!

Updated the 2021-22 beta release with several fixes and new enhancements, please see the change notes!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2514963917

I would specifically like feedback (and save games for):

- 4+ year sims with all NCAA leagues enabled, I want to see if teams are more aggressive in recruiting players, specifically those who end up being drafted by the NHL. My testing shows its looking better but I want feedback.
- Sims with the leagues where schedules were updated for 2021-22, just to make sure there are no issues (2+ years preferred).

Thanks!

Landi’s contract 7-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Ahh I know why its a bug in the editor, thanks for reporting will patch this!

[xECK29x]

Landeskog and a few others are still bugged, I have emailed Archi about this, looks like a bug from new functionality in the editor, will patch when I am able to.

Update: I dropped him to UFA for now as a workaround.

[xECK29x]

Figured out how to fix it, will patch.

[Filip Croatia]

I found one bug while playing in Swiss with SC Bern. During November break (first season in the save) three of my players went to play for Swiss at Deutschland Cup, but they didn't get "INT" status and I used them in my league game on same day they played at Deutschland Cup with NT.

[xECK29x]

-- Introduced "feedback testing" where a number of recent PG's were run for long-term sims, with regular exports which were then used to re-calibrate attribute generation to give better rounded players for specific role types once they get to the NHL level (~470,000 rows of data in Excel) - Specifically Forward Playmakers and Physical Snipers.

-- Improved Offensive Role, Consistency, Vision and Determination rolls for -20 prospect skaters
