Advantages of Full Database

Post by V4ND3RP00L »

I know that you can choose to have the minimum or full database and those other options in between. My question to some of you who probably know more about EHM 2007 then me, what is the full advantage of using the full database, rather then the minimum database?

Do you seem to get more coaches, players, and so forth added into your game or what?

If anyone can answer these small questions, I'd appreciate it.

You get every single staff in the database, but this makes the game run much slower.

If you allready run alot of leagues, then you (I am pretty sure) get allmost all players from the nations which leagues you run. Using full database will just make alot of very bad players which will never become anything available.

Personally, I have every league set to Full and I set the Detail Level to Quick-sim. That way I get all the staff and players, but don't have to sit through the results of every game in the hockey-sphere. 8-)

I ran the full database with the NHL, AHL, ECHL, and CHL. It ran just fine and I did notice plenty of new staff members and players as well.

I personally just wondered if that is what it would do or not. I mean, I figured it did give you more players and staff, but I didn't know what else it would offer and if any of you have been playing with it on for plenty of seasons now, I'm sure you see many different things.

Thanks for your posts.

Riz posted at the SI forums some time back (or maybe it was Graeme).

With the FULL database, most of the players you get extra, will be so bad that they will just retire and be regenerated and retire and be regenerated and.... over and over.

All players with even the slightest chance of playing in any of the better leagues will already be there with NORMAL database.

Then I'll just go ahead and use the normal database setup so that I can keep that regenerating problem from happening.

It may come from your computer, if you changed it... :dunno:

I know mine is too old to allow full DB and i'm always stuck with minimum DB. Anyhow, it doesn't have any impact if you're playing the NHL or top Euro leagues, as the full DB is mainly made of naff players that big teams have absolutely no interest in ;)
