Lidas Rosters 2008/09 - Mistakes/Omissions/Tweaks/Etc

Lidas--Not sure if you have looked at this for 2009-10 updates. In your db's for the 2008-09 the Stars rightfully are not given an affiliate.

This is causing issues in AI for game play. The stars rarely keep more than about 28 guys under contract and release alot of good players because the AI does not LOAN out players for some reason in the numbers needed to keep the stars stocked with players. So..you see things like in the challenge comments with Abdelkader beings signed and released, signed and released. Then you see very good prospects who are not making the team released. This continues in the game as long as you play it, and no matter what the Stars have as players..they end up losing becuase they have no depth.

So..for 2009-10 and future db's even if the Stars are splitting affiliates like they have been in real life, we may want to look at giving them a team in the ECHL like Colorado and Chicago have their teams in the ECHL because of AHL issues for numbers of teams.

Just a thought..

The Stars will have a primary affiliation in Lidas Database 2.0. Wether it will be in the AHL or ECHL depends on teams moving or disappearing.

Dallas Stats will have an affiliate with the Texas Stars in 2.0. I'm not sure where they will be placed, but they will be there somewhere

Hi. Just installed the Lidas 1.3 rosters, and as i was trying to start an new game, it crashed before the screen where you can select leagues, with error: "fatal v3.0.4 selected_leagues_screen.cpp 85"

What do i need to do to fix the problem?

Thank you.

The only thing I can think of is to double check that you installed the database correctly. There's another folder inside of the main folder with the actual DB. I hope that helps.

Do you have EHM updated with the latest patch? You should be on version 3.0.4 right now. If you're updated and have the DB installed to the right place, I would re-download the DB. You might've had some corruption during the download.

Hey Lidas...

Thanks for the continual updates!

I noticed a few minor tweaks for a future update.

Mason Raymond (VAN) has his speed too low. I use the 1-100 rating setup and he is at a 70. The guy is lightning fast, so something in the area of 95 would be preferred. Also, his stamina could be lowered a little.

Sami Salo (VAN) His slap shot is too low in the game compared to real life. I would like to see it around the rating that Alex Edler has it.

Also, Kyle Wellwood is more of a third line center now...perhaps moving his ratings around to be less offensive and more of a energy player/grinder.

One other thing. Whenever I aquire Kirk Maltby...he absolutley sucks for me. Is it just my bad luck, or do others notice this?

Did some changes, but Raymond already had great speed, and Salo had as good slapshot as Edler. / Lidas

thanks Lidas your hard work on the rosters is very much appreciated by everyone...

Dany Heatley should dislike the Senators and Cory Clouston, and his loyalty should drop significantly.

Also, if there's a hidden "jackass" attribute, it should be 20.

Post by **Manimal** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 10:13 pm

I just noticed that you have Dwight King loaned to the wrong Lethbridge team. He should be loaned to the Hurricanes not the team in the CIS. And also, Cedric Bernier's favourite staff is the wrong Jonathan Bernier. It should be his brother, the defenceman and not the LA Kings goalie. Minor things but I think they should be corrected

Done! / Lidas

Using the Lidas db, Zack Kassian of Peterborough is 17 at the start of the game, right? Yet, in my games, NHL teams tend to sign him before he's even drafted. Anyone else having a similar problem? I've tried adding NHL rights and then deleting them in the editor, but he's still free to sign nine months before his freakin' draft.

Peterman5000 · Post by **Peterman5000** » Thu Jun 25, 2009 12:20 am

I think that Lidas must have edited Kassian in the DB, and he did not add rights until 19.

It's just an error.

I always sign him though!

lol

Yeah, we saw this problem come up in the current challenge. I'm going to merge this into the Lidas Rosters - Mistakes/Omissions/Tweaks etc thread because it's really a database issue.

I have a few thoughts on the realignment of minor teams in North America.
AHL add Texas Stars and Lake Erie Monsters. Send Iowa Chops(Will they even play?) and Peoria Rivermen to the ECHL.
ECHL add Iowa,Peoria,Kalamazoo Wings. del Dayton,Mississippi and Lake Erie. Columbia can stay as they will have a team next season and then I think Phoenix stays for geographical reasons
CHL add Allen Americans and Missouri Mavericks and delete Austin and Rocky Mountain
UHL/IHL add Dayton Gems and Quad City Mallards and delete Kalamazoo.
Then I don't know what teams to fill the league with. Evansville will join the league next year so maybe them. We could wait and see if the EPHL survives.

There will be some divisional tweaks, as well

Just a minor tweak Minnesota Wild have added their new assistant GM that isnt in the game and his name is Jim mill... He used to work for AHL Office so he isnt in the game...

JTavaresNYI09 · Post by **JTavaresNYI09** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 5:01 am

I love your rosters but my one suggestion is that Radek Martinek on the Islanders offensive ability's are over-rated. He has a 16 slapshot when I go to every NYI game and his slapshot is below average... Just my 2 cents

I'll create him when I get to staff updating

Slapshot downgraded to 13. Passing down to 14.

Dick Axelsson is signed to Detroit not Grand Rapids.

Philippe Lamoureaux is called Jean-Philippe and is not signed by St. Louis. He is with Alaska

Why would you send Peoria to the ECHL?

The Blues own that franchise and it will be in place for a very long time.

Also:

Are there plans for a post-draft mini-update adjusting some of the talent and assigning their rights? I mean players like Oliver Ekman-Larsson whom stays till the 3rd round in my drafts, and Matt Duchene who never amounts to anything.

Zack Kassian signing NHL deals at age 17?
