EHM The Blue Line

Hey there, is there any chance the hockeytrean rosters can be updated? They still have the same rosters from 2023-24. Please let me know if I’m wrong and they’ve been updated and I’ve missed it somehow.

They are definitely updated, try unsubscribing/resubscribing.

If you started a save with the ECHL enabled I'm sorry but you will get a crash in year 2 due to a schedule problem. Uploading a temporary fix now, sorry about that!

Hi, i just subscribed to it and couldnt start a new game with it... now im looking into my downloads and see your database needs an update?

I redownloaded the rosters and same thing. All the players in HockeyTrean are autogenerated/created players. Previous versions didn't have this problem. Is there something wrong I'm doing while setting up the game settings? Please let me know as I'd love to have the real players in the game. Cheers and keep up the great work!

Pivot v10.0.2 - Late July update posted:

General Updates:

- Updated rosters of most playable leagues

- League schedule updates below also applied to Free Agent Frenzy DB


NHL Updates:

- Added 2025-26 schedule

- Changed All-Star Game Format to USA vs the World

-- Interested for feedback on this, might only be a short lived thing, it's not possible to do "North America".


Canadian Updates:

- Removed CHL affiliation limits -- thanks Spade18 for the suggestion


Danish Updates:

- Updated player roles across various leagues -- thanks !MR


Latvian Updates:

- Updated Optibet Hokeja Liga clubs and structure


Norwegian Updates:

- Updated player roles -- thanks !MR


Russian Updates:

- Added KHL schedule for 2025-26 -- Please note this schedule has been moved back 21 days to allow playoffs to end within game boundries.


Swedish Updates:

- Updated player roles across various leagues -- thanks !MR


United States Updates:

- Added 2025-26 ECHL schedule -- added Greensboro as active again with appropriate affiliations

- Cleaned up NCAA rosters, further updates needed when full rosters are finalized - majority of sophomore-senior classman may not be on rosters and listed as UFA for now and will be fixed before the start of season release in October.

-- This does not impact players with NHL rights

-- This cleanup was needed as some NCAA rosters were over 40 players contracted, resulting in cuts of players and breaking future transfers.

-- We need to fix some problems with current tooling to get accurate length NCAA contracts, part of the problem is how the game calculates domestic college contract lengths, which resets if a player transferred teams within the NCAA.

- Added roster size limit start/end dates for offseason expansion for NCAA teams, should help limit the AI cancelling future transfers when the roster is already maxed out


----


Updates will now slow down for a bit, next one by the end of August unless something major happens.

The league still hasn't been fully scraped, most if not all players are UFAs at this point. We are working on an updated structure for that league to make it playable again, once it is made playable I'll scrape the leagues and refresh the rosters. I'm no longer going out of my way to update leagues that are not human playable anymore.

Thanks a lot for the work and all the updates! It's clear that a lot of effort has been put into the database this season - the attention to detail for each country and league is especially impressive. The updates for the KHL and NCAA are exactly what was missing from the last few simulations. It's great to see that even less popular leagues like Iceland and Latvia have received support.

It's also great that they removed the strict binding to the day of the week - it really hindered the simulation in the long run. Special thanks to everyone who helped with local updates - great teamwork. Looking forward to next season!

I'm new here so I cannot DM you! How can I help you with rosters update for leagues or past seasons stats for players? I have EHM Editor v1.1.6 (don't know if it's the latest version. But I know how to add players to team roster and add missing stats from previous seasons.

So feel free to message me if you need help with various players/rosters! I'll do it anyway for me in september before a start a new career (i'll modify you're db for only me if you don't need help). Thanks!

This means a lot, thanks so much for the post! Though that is for a very old version of that DB and a lot has changed, including scaling it down

Hello,

Will it be possible to create the same format in the game this season as the one used in the Champions Hockey League? I tried to create it in the editor, but I'm having trouble with the calendar. So is this format even realistically possible in the game?

thanks for the reply and a big thumbs up for your work

I have no plans to set O/D rules that extensively, if someone wants to help do it, sure. I am just one person and already sink 90% of my free time just to maintain what I have.
