Lidas 4.0 research help wanted

Okay first of all I have to check the teams in Suomi Division. Also the league system has changed a bit but I see what I can do

How shall I count the goalie stats as there is first 3 groups with 8 teams, where teams 1-4 go to the actual Suomi-Sarja?

[Primis]

Just a heads-up: things look to be getting really, really messy at the "AA" level this offseason. The CHL looks to be in big trouble possibly. Buncha' teams talking juniors again or SPHL, and a couple others talking ECHL. QC outright folded already, and quotes in print media popping up here and there specifically about Colorado already being accepted to the ECHL, and the ECHL has confirmed they've done a 19- and 20-team schedule.

I don't know what the heck to do with the league structures there at this point. There's even a little talk of resurrecting the Beaten Dea Hors-- errrr, UHL/IHL again. Even if a midwest league doesn't come about again maybe it's just time to throw hands in the air and place the "AA" western teams in the CHL, midwestern in the UHL, and eatsern in the ECHL along with the 3 AHL teams that need to be down... and screw the rest?

Something to think about I guess, because if you want to include the "AA" and "A" still in any playable manner. Stupid hardcoded leagues, stupid .EXE...

I worked hard the whole day with this and now I have calculated all the CA of the last seasons players in Suomi Division... Now I still have to calculate size & strength... Manimal how shall I proceed as many (almost all of the players) are not in the database already? Are you going to make new ones replacing the default players? And we must think of what to do with the teams when most of the default teams have changed

I will create the new players if I get the time. This league does not have high priority.
What do you mean by 'default' ? Are there teams and players in the game that isn't IRL? If so, then please make a list of what team changes needs to be done and what players I can remove from the DB

Yeah, I am all over this. I'm checking the news coming out of the minor leagues daily. I won't make any decision on this until it is final what leagues and teams will play in 11-12. well see

I started working on the Norwegian league update since that's where i like to start (then work my way up). also i dont think they've been included in the last few updates. everything seems to be available here (http://www.pointstreak.com/prostats/sta ... sonid=5907)
and since its only 10 teams i figured its wouldnt be that hard a task for my first research contribution.

give back to the game thats taken so many hours away from me.

I'm using the league reputation for EIHL & EPL from this thread: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =45&t=7448

[Calv]

Annoyingly the EIHL stats also include the cups & playoffs games, so each team can play a different number of games. I will set the number of games per season in the spreadsheet to the max that someone has played this season

Yes, I haven't changed those leagues but others in that thread have been changed. Everyone, look in the Manimal Research Guide(or Lidas3.1) for the correct League reputations

EliteProspects hows both regular and play-off stats. Check it out

Unfortunately it doesn't separate out cup games & regular season games, so teams that go further in the challenge cup have played more games than others that went out in the first round.

OK. Then do as you said and raise the Max. Games

EDIT: I have started with the NHL

quick question: for the Norway update do you want the ø å and æ or just o a and ae ?

Anything I can do? Fix player positions for NHL and SEL, primarily? I'm a positions expert.

Sure, you can fix the NHL positions if you want to. Reave is doing the Swedish research, don't know if he's doing any position changes

[Reave]

I take the player positions from Eliteprospects, so the defenders only got a "D" in the research sheet. So you can do defender positions if you want!

[Systemfel]

Alright, I'll do NHL and Elitserien d-men. I've personally edited the SEL forwards over at eliteprospects, so they should be alright

[frisland]

So i think i finished the Norwegian league. where do i sent it?

I will work on the NCAA. I will start with the WCHA since I am most familiar with that league. If someone who is a bigger fan of the other conferences wants to work on them I am more than happy to split up the work.

I'm working on USHL and many of the players will be moving on to college. That should be a huge help once they are all added to the game. I hope to finish up within the next week, maybe this weekend.
