Post by MGSPORTS »

Why didn't you update Rosters to today but moved the date to July 13th 2014 for NHL? If you had put Draft Picks on Team then 2014/15 Draft in Game could be a mix of Random past/present/Fictional people?

I suspect you meant to write 2015 not 2014...the answer to your question is "because there is no way of moving the date" (just like there was no no way of editing/deleting the schedule)

Even with the release of EHM:EA and an influx on new/returning researchers, there are still to few researchers working on the modern/current database now! It took me YEARS to get a retro database ready for an initial release! IMO you're not going to find anyone willing to volunteer to spend the YEARS it would take to make the fantasy databases you describe

I'm doing one minus Stats for 14-15. In Game for NHL it's September 7th 2014 but developers can move it back to July 13th 2014 just so we can get more of an Offseason.
I might do Drafted by Teams but in Editor no command to tell the Computer to so something like move all Non Drafted to Free-Agent Market or all Drafted by St. Louis Blues to the St. Louis Blues and then it would get done in fast.

A lot can be done now using the EHM Updater spreadsheets, and when the new version of the Updater is released Draft information should be there too (you can sort/filter & delete or copy/paste very quickly in the excel spreadsheets)

Stanely Cup Rosters

Post by MGSPORTS »

So Far
2011 Bruins done missing just Recci because not in Database
Blackhawks missing like Boynton,Mayers because not in Database and Staff nobody. Their 3 Stanley Cup Teams combined into one.
Lighting Missing some Players not in Database,Some Players are Player/Coach and Staff has so far Feaster,John Tortellia,Jon Cooper.
If we could Import Teams then I could have it done today and no combined Teams then.

Las Vegas Gilden Knights and Others add to League

Post by Mgomrjsurf »

http://www.mediafire.com/file/43ef06l1p ... tabase.zip The other Teams are the Orlando Seals,Kansas City Outlaws and Houston Aeros. Golden Knights have exact Minor League Team,Head Coach,GM. Kent Hitchcock is Stars Head Coach. Mike Yeo is Blues Head Coach. Ben Bishop is on the Stars because was on Tampa Bay in this one. No other moves and for me it's just for Fantasy Draft if going to not do Fantasy Draft would do one with update as of Today. Only problem that it has when starting a new Game with it Error pops up saying can't find NHL Teams-Custom League and I have the exact number of Teams in each League and in showing that they are in right Division and Evan number of Teams 34.

Post by jonathanorjas »

First you need to set up the stages to have the right number of teams. You have 18 teams in the eastern conference when there is 16 teams set in stage 1 and
16 teams in the western conference when there is 14 teams set in stage 2.
You also need to set up the schedule template to include the new teams and their matchups. Make sure all teams get the same number of games as the max
number of games set on the comp rule page.

I also recommend that you make sure that you set up the divisions to be 9 teams each on the eastern side and 8 on the western because
of the sorting rule 4 on the comp rule page in the editor so you dont get error when the teams for the playoffs is drawn.

Hope this will help. Good Luck. :-)

Got it working and with Salary Cap at they high in the 99 NHL Teams aren't making any Trades.

Without having to copy over Database.db other ways to get Edited Database to show up on create League screen to pick from.

Some Bug Reports

Post by Mgomrjsurf »

I don't know if this is a Bug I get a League Error when I start a new Game and I have changed division around by adding a Central and Canada Conference but have the Teams like Rangers and Islanders are in Northeast so next to their name is Northeast instead of Altantic and hopefully updated Schedule and only problem might be Central League odd number Teams because made some into NHL Teams same with Mantioba Moose meaning one less Team in International League. I can't post file but if want it just post Email and yes it uses 1998 one.
