Manimal Rosters 2011-2012; Mistakes, omissions, tweaks etc

[BP20]

Hi,

Herberts Vasiljevs has a german pass.
Daniel Pietta plays center and should get better ratings. He is Top-Scorer of the Krefeld Penguins and also plays in the german national team.
Kyle Sonnenburg has a wrong birthdate.

Daniar Dshunussow is wrongly spelled (Dshunusow).

[Fredlig]

Just wrote tweakings for ALL the Swedish players in the NHL and then when i pressed submit i wasnt logged in and it all dissappeared, going to bash my head into the wall now!

[ElPayaso]

I would add technique and passing to Elias Lindholm's strengths.

[Manimal]

I would add technique and passing to Elias Lindholm's strengths.

What do you mean by technique? Stickhandling and deking?

Sorry, mainly stickhandling.

[Fredlig]

Tweaking suggestions

Henrik Sedin Daniel Sedin
Should have the same CA and PA, its impossible to say who is the best of them, Henrik plays a bit better defense and Daniel is a slightly better scorer, but in overall i think theyre equal.

Nicklas Bäckström
Flair 16->12
Anticipation 15->17
Decisions 15->17
Wristshot 15->14
Slapshot 16->15
One of the best playmakers in the league, and i would say his anticipation is one of the best ive seen, he doesnt have that raw skill that Kane,Crosby and Malkin have but hes so calm with the puck and always pick the right decision. You rarely see him putting up highlight reels and snipes, ive would say the goals he score is a result of his good positioning and anticipation, just a decent finisher from range

Tobias Enström
CA 165->160
PA 170->165
Havent put up those numbers this season

Henrik Zetterberg
CA 171->168
Offensive role 18->16
Pass tend 11->13
Having a rough season and havent produced at all as expected, but in defense his rock solid.

Erik Karlsson
CA 152->162
PA 165->175
Defensive role 8->10
Vision 14->16
Decisions 11->13
Positioning 10->12
Slap/Wristshot +1
Huge step this season to becoming an superstar, excellent vision and passing play, smoking hot on the PP. Improved defensive play but still struggles against tough forwards like Lucic and Horton

Mikael Samuelsson
CA 151->144
Getting older, injury problems and less motivated havent improved his play

Mikael Backlund
CA 137->135
PA (-8)->148
Offensive role 17->15
Huge talent and carrying the Swedish team in the WJC but in the last two seasons he almost regressed and apart from a good two-way game his not doing well.

Jacob Josefson
CA 134->124
Injury proneness 5->10
Always had some minor injury problems but has great potential top be a good second line center.

Linus Omark
CA 135->128
Balance 15->17
Flair 18->20
Consistency 14->10
Decisions 13->10
Never seen a player with more creative moves and flashiness, other than that hes far from the complete player. getting those unnecessary penalties.

Mattias Tedenby
CA 131->125
Acceleration 16->17
Agility 15->17
Anticipation 11->10
Consistency 14->8
Flair 15->16
Totally relies his play on his speed and stickhandling/deking, tend to pull off some nice moves but other than that hes just average

Marcus Johansson
CA 126->132
PA 140->150
Checking 10->14
Really stepped up when Backström was injured, is an amazing checker, 5th in points in the Caps

Anton Lander
CA 125->118
Flair 15->10
Vision 15->13
Anticipation 15->14
Good on defense, doesnt really deserve 125

Magnus Pääjärvi
126->120
Having a terrible season, sent down to the AHL after 33 GP and 4 points in the NHL as an offensive forward

Viktor Stålberg
CA 125->134
Acceleration 18->17
Pace 19->20
Pushes the puck in a effective way that probably makes him the fastest skater at top speed with the puck. Having a great season. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGgBf0paiJA

Carl Hagelin
CA 115->130
PA (-7)->145
Professionalism 13->16
Acceleration 16->18
Pace 16->17
Agility 15->16
Decisions 12->14
Consistency 11->14
Teamwork 13->16
Stamina 12->16
Having a rocket season with the Rangers, 18 points in 30 games (~50 points in a full season), 4th in +/- in Rangers, won the Fastest Skater at ASG (Amazing first strides)

Gabriel Landeskog
CA 119->125
PA (-8)->(-9)
Defensive role 12->14
Offensive role 15->16
Flair 15->7
Consistency 13->15
Decisions 11->14
Leadership 15->16
Determination 15->18
Adaptability 12->16
Professionalism 15->17
27 Points in 52 games and his leading the AVS +/- by a ridiculous margin (+13 and Wilson is second with +4 almost rest of the team is minus) . Never seen a 19 year-old that mature both on and off the ice, expert leadership qualities and outperforming players like Duchene. Learned English fluent and with no accent and was also named the first European to wear the 'C' in Kitchener

Gustav Nyquist
CA 90->110
Offensive Role 15->17
Defensive role 12->10
Vision 13->14
Movement 9->12
Huge upside, if Detroit didn't have great two starting lines, Nyquist would be regular.

Victor Rask
CA 105->90
PA (-9)->(-8)
Not that great, doesnt have superstar potential either

David Ullström
CA 97->102
Made the Islanders lineup and put up some nice games.

Nicklas Lidström
Natural Fitness 19->20

Open for Discussion, based my reports on watching games, listening to experts, reading articles/forums.

[Manimal]

Great list!
I will look into it shortly and implement those that I agree with (most of them, by the look of it)

[Lazion]

I'm currently working with EBEL pictures and noticed that these players have random dob's:
Andreas Kristler 30.8.1990
Christof Martinz 25.11.1989
Lukas Peicha 5.1.1989

Also some small succestions for Philadelphia Flyers:
Marc-André Bourdon
Temperament 10->7
Bravery 11->13
Rise CA to 120+, Tweak reputation more closer to CA

Erik Gustafsson
CA 125->120-, decrease reputation

Jaromir Jagr
Aggression 13->8, Agility 14->12, Hitting 13->8
Determination, Professionalism, Sportmanship and Temper should be rised.

Sean Couturier
He has born in Phoenix and have dual citizenship Canada (declared)/USA
Wristshot 13->16

Tom Sestito
Teamwork 10->13, Workrate 10->14
Acceleration 9->11, Balance 11->14, Pace 8->11

Maxime Talbot
Rise CA and reputation 120->130+

Kimmo Timonen
Injury 6->4, Fitness 14->16, Stamina 16->18, Deking 14->12

Matt Read
Sportmanship 10->13, Temperament 10->15, Aggression 14->10, Dirtyness 9->5

[desperado462]

PM me your e-mail adress and I'll send you a version with Adirondack in the AHL.

Could you please do this for Bridgeport too? I'll pm you my email address.

Shanamaj - could you send me the roster file with Bridgeport in the AHL if Manimal sends it to you? I use the Islanders sometimes and would like Bridgeport in the AHL.. I don't want to keep bothering him with these requests..I will pm my email..Thanks!!!

[desperado462]

Also, what logo and face packs, if any, work with this update? Thanks so much!!

[archibalduk]

Also, what logo and face packs, if any, work with this update? Thanks so much!!

All addons work with it. However, for the facepacks you may need to adjust the date of births to make sure they reflect the real life DOBs - more info here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =88&t=6857

[archibalduk]

Lukas, my Czech League history researcher, has pointed out a number of corrections for the rosters which could be made once the histories have been merged into the database:

1) Daniel Růžička should be deleted because he already exists in the game as Dan Růžička (and this version is more accurate). However Dan Růžička's DOB should be changed to 1991.

2) Tomáš Hertl - change the year of birth from 1995 to 1993.

3) David Kajánek - there is a typo in the name, it should be "Kajínek", that is there should be "í" instead of "á".

4) Jakub Strand - there is also a typo in the name, it should be "Strnad", that is letters "a" and "n" are interchanged.

5) Hynek Zohorna - change the year of birth from 1991 to 1990.

6) Petr Zámorský appears in the database twice with the exact same name. Please delete the one whose post 2006 career histories have not been updated.

Thanks!

And Thanks Lukas for the Czech errors

BRitish Colmbia Major Midget League teams have totally different names than in the game.

Here is the site where you can get them all.

http://www.bchockey.net/MML/MML.aspx

I just looked this up and you are wrong. It is the correct team names in the league. The league is called BCAHA Major Midget League in the game

[batdad]

Ha. SOrry about that...thought I was in Manimal 4.0 rosters when I looked at that. But am in older version...I think 3.1 but could be 3.2 for that game.

Just as an FYI..strong rumour out there (my son has played a bit for a major midget team this year) that team names are changing next season for 2 clubs.

South Island Thunderbirds----to become South ISland Royals (makes sense since based out of Victoria)
Fraser Valley Bruins--to become Fraser Valley Thunderbirds (makes sense since based out of Chilliwack, and no Chilliwack Bruins in WHL anymore)

Also cool you were able to add in the 11th team...did not know you could. Guess because unplayable league it was easy.

bdiddy do

[archibalduk]

One more (minor) correction from Lukas regarding the Czech League:

Libor Kasík - it should be Kašík, that is "š" instead of "s" - I know it seems not to be such a big mistake, but I noticed it when I was looking for the stats of this goalie, and since other players have (more or less) their spelling correct, I thought I would let you know..

It is now on my to do list when the histories have been added! Thank you Lukas!

Batdad, I will update all leagues for next year and change team names if need be

[Fredlig]

Markus Svensson GK in AIK is born 9/7 and not 7/9, probly just a typing mistake, i do it all the time when i make Facepacks

[friggan]

Hello! I have four questions.
1. Roughly when do you think the next update is released? I Wanna play the game, but i think i wait for the update!
2. I think it gets way too many goals in the matches. Maybe you could raise the goalkeepers CA a bit to make it more realistic?
3. Do you need help to set CA/PA on Färjestads J20 team? I mayby can help a bit!
4. Is it possible to fix so the NHL clubs can loan out players to the Elitserien like IRL?

Geoff Platt, Charles Linglet and Kevin Lalande have second nationality Belarus

[Manimal]

Geoff Platt, Charles Linglet and Kevin Lalande have second nationality Belarus

Really? Were they given that by the dictatorship so soon?
I have to keep Lalande as Russian due to hard coded league rules on foreign goalies in Russia

Really. Want them and then start playing for the national team of Belarus.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet but there are two clones of Petr Zamorsky in the non patched roster. 19 year old defence-men, Czech with date birth of 8/3/87
