TBL NHL Roster Update Data Issues (i.e. mistakes/omissions)

Post by **Tasku** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 9:51 am

Yes, good point, the page may not have been updated according to the lates info...

We'll look into this, and make our call before the release...

Was just thinking...
Maybe we should correct the lists of unsigned prospects. Many of them have been dropped.

If we decide to do this, we need a volunteer

- as I have enough work on my hands updating all of Sweden and making almost 2000 TBL cards

I have time...

Anyone have a link, where this info is available?

Team sites?

Post by **Lidas** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 4:53 pm

All the team-sites have a section called either "prospects" or "in the system" or something similar.
Thats where you find them =P

WOW! I was going to write my normal warning about the prospects/in the system section not being fully complete as it has not been in the past. However...wow...they actually look fairly decent for the 3 teams I checked again today. This is something to have a look at Tasku. However..be prepared for the fact that some may be inaccurate.

Hmm, kay... I'll try to look for other sources aswell...

Will get to this tomorrow - today, for reasons some of you are aware, not really in the mood for the editor.

ah.

You guys fixing Height/Weight?

Does that even effect the game at all?

Post by **Tasku** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 12:18 am

No, we haven't come even think of editing height / weight.

Not sure how / if it effects the game.

lols, Im just sick of seeing Alex Steen as like 180lbs, when hes 205, and stajan as 180 e.t.c lol

then again, if it doesnt affect gameplay...meah.

Post by **batdad** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 6:59 am

Nah EHM just subtracts 3 inches and 20 pounds, cause we all know that they exaggerate height/weight of all players.

Changelist up to this point:

• Removed rights on players that had been dropped by their team
• Fixed Sidney Crosby's contract value
• Fixed Lyle Odelein’s retirement - error in Config File
• Removed Chris Chelios' retirement
• Signed Igor Grigorenko from Lada Togliatti to Detroit Red Wings
• Fixed Tampa Bay’s affiliation with Mississippi Sea Wolves - Sea Wolves exist in the game, but were not playing in any league
• Fixed AHL affiliations with ECHL teams
• Teams that had affiliation changes had their players left in their former affiliation teams as loan, fixed
• Moved ECHL teams to their correct season 2007-08 divisions
• Included 900 missing DoB's to database - info provided by Jackknife77
• Updated Mississippi Sea Wolves roster to give team some players, because roster was empty
• Other minor adjustments

Thanks to Riptide for pointing out that there was a toss up in Sidney Crosby's contract... fixed.

Also, I don't have as much time to work on this as I thought I had last week, so as already stated, we might be a bit late on releasing version 1.1.

I promise you, it'll happen this week though. I hope...

It looks like Dany Heatly's contract is wrong (or maybe it was signed after the update came out). It's showing a contract for 1yr at 5.5. He just signed a big 6 yr deal averaging 7.5 per year.

Post by **Tasku** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 10:06 pm

This deal went thru on October 3rd, just a few days after our deadline of keeping up rosters, the 29th September.

So basically we'll leave it at that, like we said earlier, if we keep updating the rosters after 29th, we'll never be ready...

Good to see your actively looking for things to improve though, keep it up.

Is there somewhere we can post changes so that whenever a new DB is done, there's an easy reference to a list of changes needed?

Post by **Tasku** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 11:49 pm

I'm not sure that I understand your question...

Do you mean a changelist or something for upcoming releases?

We already have a changelist for this project at the Knowledge Base and threads like these to post changes that need to be done. Also you can make requests for new projects at these forums, just remember to perform a search first to see if there is already an existing thread on such a project.

I was wondering if you had any luck trying to create the AHL afilliate of the Colorado Avalanche the Lake Erie Monsters? Cause you said the game might crash and burn but you would try it and see if it worked. Thanks Will

Post by **Tasku** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 2:42 am

Yes, what I meant was that we'll try and see when / if we get around to updating the AHL, it won't be in the next version though, so far we've only changed NHL affiliates to already existing teams.

The thing is, if we'd try to create it now, it might bring too much of complications to a project that is already running late on it's schedule. Hope you understand.

But like I said, when and if the AHL will be included into this project we'll most likely try to have all the correct teams also included in the game. At the moment we have plenty of other leagues to worry about, and nothing much has been done towards updating the AHL as of yet.

Post by **batdad** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 3:29 am

We won't be able to have all the AHL teams...because the league expanded. We may be able to move one team so we have Quad City Flames. But teams that are not already in the game...expansion ones, won't be added, since the # of teams per league are hard coded. /1billionth explanation of this.

Post by **Tasku** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 4:09 am

Ah yes, forgot to mention that...

"Will look into it, if there are spots available for new teams..."

My knowledge of the AHL is very limited.

Dan Focht gets a random birthdate. Should be 1977-12-31
