Forbes Magazine does a fantastic job of summing up reports for the NHL. There is alot there but it might give you an idea or two.dabo wrote:To be honest I haven't thought about it at all, this is an area I have pretty much 0 knowledge in. What do you want? and what is terrible in EHM?

The way I get the project, there seems to be no reason why the Asia League wouldn't be in. Actually, there's not even a reason why the various Japanese University leagues and championships, All-Japan Championship, All-Korea Championship, Korean Championship, J-Ice North and J-Ice West - to name a few - wouldn't be in as wellAlessandro wrote:Asian league would be SICK
All what's needed is someone willing to research small/obscure leagues worldwide, which I am.

Would be cool if Div 1 in Sweden would be playable, and it would enhance gameplay for clubs in Allsvenskan aswell when scouting for bodies to fill out the season rosters.
This happened alot in North america back in the olden days. Alot of the AHL teams came from lower levels, and even some NHL teams were in other leagues before hand. Although most don't go back down to other leagues ----because if they stop to exist in a higher level its because they're bankrupt. Say if the AHL is looking to expand we've seen ECHL teams that are financially healthy move up. But like i said before, if it doesn't work out they won't go back down to the ECHL, because the owners end up selling and the teams moves or goes bankrupt.YZG wrote:Saapas wrote:This is the topic that goes closest for the thing in my mind.

I'd LOVE that too. From amateur to pro, and back to amateur if a long string of badlucks/mismanagements sink the team.

Well, the back to amateur part was more a reference to European hockey, where it's still possible to get relegated to lower leagues and lose pro status if circumstances require it. I agree with you, OOTP has brought many innovations that make a sim game a totally different gaming experience. Getting some into this project would be awesome.dave1927p wrote:This happened alot in North america back in the olden days.

That would be pretty awesome! It would be great to in some type of commish mode you can force this to happen (another thing in ootp -_- ) i know i keep referenceing ootp and it must get annoying but a game like EHM with the customization of ootp is the ideal game for me!
. Keep in mind though that football manager just added a dynamic world feature in their latest version, so that took them years and multiple versions before they got to that...that's the sad news. I agree wih you. And since it's probably much easier to implement massive customization than natural dynamics, that's the target to aim at first. The surprise effect won't be there, but it's already much better than EHMdave1927p wrote: A dynamic world as you mentioned would be awesome, but at the same time too giving the user the ability to force things if he so chooses in his game would be even better on top of that
Going off this, i could develop a database system that could infact make literally everything editable, in theory at least, seeing how it goesCeeBee wrote:On the subject of league structure and schedules. It would be nice if both options are database customizable. The number of teams, divisions, and conferences as well as the schedule... How many time each team plays in division, conference or league. Then it would be even possible to recreate the old 6 team NHL or any setup the NHL or for that matter any playable league has had over the years.
