Version 5.0 - How can we make it better

[batdad]

Which his? The original or the "new" Mgsports?

1-It would be fun if teams could change adress in a season. Per example, with the new updates, the blue jackets have financial problem. I wish if they could go to quebec or seattle,...
2-In this game, when a player has a non-trade clause, we can't trade him. In real life the player give you a list of team (depending on his clause).
Thanks.
I LOVE YOU MANIMAL.

Are you friends with MgSports by any chance?!!!

who is mgsports

[batdad]

We are having some fun with you, because your requests are very dream world like. Both are impossible because they are hard coded into the game. Cannot change those things.
Mgsports wants us to edit things so that the NHL has teams on Pluto, and then call them the St Louis Blues and to make sure that the game drafts the best players to the St Louis Blues to make sure the Blues win the cup all the time. Oh, and to be doubly sure we need to call every team in the game the St Louis Blues. Inluding the novice teams and college teams.

two seasons in the game some players turn beastly, often Crosby and Malkin got 5-6 "99" attributes like Malkin have 99 Wristshot, Slapshot and Stickhandling. Dont know if something could fix this, also many players often turn into a 99acc/99pace players after 1-2 seasons, just a small thing its not like the game turns unplayable.

A huge update for 2013, 2014 and 2015 draft eligible prospects. Mostly for CHL bantam draft purposes, but also to take down the almighty group of European regens in the third and fourth drafts. It is possible with enough time to put into it, this is something I am willing to help with over the summer. This would include fixing rosters in leagues like the BCHL, OJHL, AMHL, etc..

and seriously, a much needed round of applause for what archi, Manimal and many others have done to make this the most realistic hockey game around. Nothing can compete with it.

I think here we should do something with the realism patch. There is a value in the editor, "training" if I am not mistaken, which regulates how well the players practice. Most NHL teams do have 20 here, so of course they perform like they are on steroids and get so high, so fast. Maybe if we batch-edit this aspect players might progress a little slower. I'll copy this discussion in the realism patch.

are you going to update the player's skills

I'm already working on updating the Junior A and B leagues, as well the leagues the CHL drafts from. No the rosters just the teams and league structure (divisional and what not) It's too bad we can't fix any of the programming, becuase the mroe and more I've been researching the league, the more I was think it would be nice to have RBC Cup somehow represented in the game.

[Manimal]

I understand that some guys would like to play with 'Day One'-rosters but that would make the rest of the editing REALLY dreadfully boring for me. Only updating attributes and such is a drag. I have been keeping up-to-date rosters for almost 15 years now and that is what is motivating me the most.

As some of you said off/def role is very important and I have been stressing that to my researchers

I have to really focus on getting 4.2 finished (still far away, I'm afraid) so I might not answer your feedback right away (I got too much to do right now) but it will be given thought to

[bestrafer7]

sounds great

Hi!

I've been playing with the top of the notch Manimal rosters and the realism patch (very happy with them, works just perfecty), but one thing - just to remind - are those individual player awards!.. (I'm sure those are in your list maybe). Plus the news about a player getting his 100th point even if he has played in 1000 nhl games (I really don't know if this can be alternated!).

Keep up the great work! And thank you all who made this game even a notch better!

[tscyadi4]

Do you need help at all? I'd love to do some research! I know multiple websites and such and am very willing to put in quality time! Better at nhl stuff not so much the foreign leagues.

[tscyadi4]

Anyone do a newer updated version of EHM? (Sorry about that batdad. I read about some of the things said about having teams change addresses and such, wondered if this mgsports guy or what not was in the process of making a new one?)

[batdad]

What are you talking about? You are making little sense in your posts (other than asking to help out in research)
I think you need to read the site and figure out what is going on here before you start randomly posting stuff and creating threads.
There is alot of stuff here. When I joined, there was alot of stuff. And before I even made a post i read virtually every thread all the way through.

(edited post, sorry terrible word arrangement...)

Yep mgsports is making a new version of EHM. No doubt. There is a thread called the mgsports thread somewhere. IT explains it all. Have a read.

[tscyadi4]

^Alright thanks. I'll take a read on it.

[batdad]

Great, should be a good read. Maybe you can help him out.

[The Leaf]

I think we should get to work on a kick-ass facepack that will last forever because of the CSD patch

[Loosie]

Well I've completed the OHL and am about 1/3 of the way through the QMJHL, with plans to do the WHL when the QMJHL is completed.

Great! The WHL players are soon all in the db

hey Manimal... question about your newest roster... I just started as Victoria Royals... My question is i went to go invite players on August 5th 2011 two days after the file started from bchl, ajhl, mjhl and sjhl... But theres no players on those rosters... My question is when it comes to September 1st time for camp will those leagues sign random players to their rosters?

[batdad]

WHL and western canada jr teams and the like have not been updated in the latest version. Manimal is workign on it.

They will not fill their rosters. They will probably only sign a few guys each
I am working on filling the WHL rosters and their prospects. I will not add any free agent youngsters, though
