1974 Database Coming Very Soon

[archibalduk]

After two long hard years of development, the first release of Nino's 1974 database for EHM 2007 is very soon to be released. If you have been following his thread, you'll be well aware of huge amount of work and attention to detail that has gone into this - not to mention all of the trials and tribulations involved with editing the database!

Nino is just putting the final touches to the database this weekend, but in the mean time here's a run-down of what to expect:

- Created a historical NHL from 1974 by combining the two NA pro leagues (NHL and WHA…for those that might not know there were 2 major pro hockey leagues from 1972-1979 in North America)
- Created historical AHL by combining 27 historical minor pro teams from IRL 1974
- Created a historical CHL (14 of 16 teams) by using the remaining historical pro teams from IRL 1974
- Historical NHL rosters as of 1974!
- Historical NHL Staff! Many created from retired players to increase the number of Assistant Coaches and Scouts
- AHL/CHL players 100% populated with historical (minor pro) players
- Major Junior teams (WHL-OHL-QMJHL) 100% populated with historical players
- Created hundreds of historical "minor hockey" players who are age 1-16 at game start-up (used these players to populate the Mite, Tyke, Atom, Novice, PeeWee, Bantam and PreJunior "minor hockey" Leagues I created)
- Correct Stanley Cup, League/Team Records and Individual Awards (Art Ross, Vezina, etc) history
- Correct IRL NHL and WHA history/stats for all NHL players
- Some historical Europeans/Russians players (about 100 total)
- Free Agent modern Players and Staff have been deleted! As have modern Players/Staff from European/Russian Elite First Division/Junior!
- Significant review and editing of Players and Staff Attributes

AND…due to the fabulous work of user XenHL the complete overhaul of all NHL, AHL, CHL, ECHL, WHL, OHL and QMJHL teams will come complete with historical/vintage team logos!!!
AND…again to the fabulous work of XenHL the contracted to NHL team players all have player pics!!!
AND…thanks to B. Stinson with have “center ice logos” for all 30 NHL 1974 teams!!! And if desired the trapezoid can even be removed from the ice for that retro look!!!
