Could help, but eventually you will lose them, if they're good enough for the NHL. You can't edit clauses with the editor, they're automatic. :dunno:

I've successfully renamed every team in the NHL, AHL, ECHL and QMJHL without any bugs (sometimes I had to re-name a non-used team to a real-life team name in order to get past the index error), but after doing the same to the WHL and OHL, the database is now corrupt whenever I start a game with the CHL at enhanced.
Is it perhaps that there's an index error caused by renaming certain CHL teams? The way to test would be to change maybe five teams each time and then start a game - that might narrow it down.

Those two, at the moment atleast, are somewhat unfinished articles in the editor. I've heard of people (claiming of) being able to edit budgets, but most of the time it just doesn't work for what ever reason. Same thing with national team staff. The option is there, but you can't use it. Maybe in a later version of the editor at some point? :dunno:

Admin note: We have a thread for all editor-related questions. I will merge this into the correct thread. For future reference, perform a forum search before posting a new thread. Searching for "editor" would have brought up the correct thread at the very top of the search results. (Archi)

Sadly stickbraker it is likely your database is corrupt. I would strongly suggest that you revert back to either a working backup or to the original 3.0.4 database. if you don't have an original database you can re-apply the 3.0.4 patch which will re-install the database too.

corrupted database? that's bad.
interesting thing - i am reinstaling the game, but the error is still there, still i can't save data. When I very first time installed game, all worked fine, i could save data. Thats strange..Now i can't.
But still, thanks mne2 for info.

Download the latest patch (3.0.4) and try again - the editor has only been tested with the latest patch.

Ok, i will try to dowload it, but my internet is so slow.
But if I use pre-game editor version 1.4 or older, maybe all will work?

Don't you have a friend with faster connection who could download it and burn it on a cd for you? :dunno:
Or start the download before going to bed, so that you get it done once you wake up :D (i did that a lot when i had slow connection... It always made happy to start the day by seeing my slow machine had been able to finally download something :D)

Besides the game itself is completely unplayable without the latest patch. All thanks to one major bug: The Attribute Bug! :cry:

Being a Minnesota Wild Fan i want to relive the expansion team and delete the team history and redo a expansion draft all over again. The only problem is i checked the search thing and searched for delete teams history so that it started off fresh but theres nothing on the forum about it well in the search wise and i was wondering if someone knew how to delete all of the info so like it was a brand new team from the start...

If you find a team that is invalid or is in a non-playable league, there should be a debut team that has just began. If you make it so that the team with no history swaps places with the original Minnesota and change the teams details. You should, in theory, have a brand new Minnesota, no history. Just might take a bit of time to change the staff over, etc.

Is there a way that we can change the amount of years a player has been pro. For example. Getzlaf has been in the league 1 season before the game. And on his information, it says 1 Season accrued. Is there a way i can make that 1 Season into 0, so that he is a rookie again. I've tried deleting his history but to no avail. I'm sure i've seen a way to do it... Any1 have any ideas?

Or is there a way that i can make the players current contract a 2 way contract?

You can also create new Minnesota Wild and replace older Wild with that.

When editing players, in editor is "Player Info" and in info is NHL Seasons & NHL Games. Just change those numbers to zero, so he is rookie again.

You have to change player Current Reputation under 100. (I'm not remember.. under 110 might work too.)

Is that true, An NHL release clause cannot be removed?

Yup. Clauses are automatic. Hence you need to edit player rep to get him under a two-way clause, as Laz said.
