You don't need any editing skills whatsoever. All of the work is done via spreadsheets - you just list the changes and then we import the spreadsheets into the Database.

Hope it comes through for you, because the first thing that would have to happen for it to come through is that SI picks up EHM as a yearly game and let's just say i would be very happy if that happens

Sounds so easy I would be up for helping out if there is any area where i can actually do more good then harm

... agree with all of these. Just two more things about Espoo: the Blues have also retired number 10 (Jere Lehtinen). Siim Liivik's position should be C instead of LW, even though he can play winger aswell. Head coach should be Jyrki Aho as you said and Janne Vuorinen is Jokerit assistant GM these days.

I've done a bit of work before(just on draft stuff) for you guys. Would be willing to do NHL affiliated prospects if that's a field you're still looking for. I'm assuming you've got plenty of hands on deck for this coming draft? Feel free to pm me!

Just as an FYI...Codi Ceci listed as 9th best dman in the league, a certain teammate of his not in top 10. And #10 is the superstar known as TJ Brodie. Aaron Ekblad...not even had played a game is listed as #8. At least Giordano is 7, ahead of Brodie. Bernier and Jake Allen in top 10 of goalies. MATT READ is the 10th best RW in the league? AND LOL....10th best prospect is some guy Boston drafted in the 5th round of 2012 Seth Griffith. League sure is not strong

Brodie has been a top-10ish D-man this season atleast, Ceci certainly hasn't though But yeah, those pre season rankings are horrible.

Not sure if this has been posted, but Sergei Fedorov is spelled as Sergei Fyodorov in this Roster.

Yes, at one time we chose to go with Russian spellings of names in the DB....that has changed and I guess because Sergei is now ancient he was missed.


Brodie is a top 10 dman in the NHL This season? Of every dman? Peter ....pass me that stuff you smoke with Lehner. He has been good but not that good.

Tampa has flyers first round pick when it should be the other way around.

I did change it to top-10ish but yeah, he has been really really good. I just meant it like it's not a big stretch that he is there in the top-10, Ceci on the other hand is quite the stretch

Most goalies in general are bad and save % over .920 are rare while under .900 are common. Specifically Ryan Miller cause I've got 2 canuck games going on different computers. In one he was so bad (save pct in the .870's I widdled him off so I could dump him for next to nothing. The other save he has a save pct of .898 but is now out with an injury. Also the shooters have incredibly good shot percentages. One save i have 27 or the top 28 goal scorers with over 25% and the next 25 most are over 20%.

Edit: One other thing. In both my games Yannick Weber is better that both Dan Hamhuis and Kevin Bieksa. Better in goals,points, +/- and AVG Rating.

Thanks, I'll check these.

Guys, thanks for updating the rosters. Pens roster looks great and finally some of the players have "potential".

If I may make 4 comments to player ratings it's these ones:
- Scuderi has too much passing (15)
- Hornqvist is not strong enough (12, irl he's a grinder, going to the net guy, should be stronger imo)
- Dupuis and Kunitz are a bit too high in CA, they're both listed in top 10 of best LW and RW respectively...)

I don't know if it has been named:

- Sochi does not have an arena (Bolshoy Ice Dome 12,000 seats)
- Admiral Vladivostok does not have an arena (Fetisov Arena 5,500 seats)

- Dynamo Moscow's shortname should be "Dynamo Moscow" instead of just Dynamo as it is now

Added:

KHL "during the season awards" (player of the month, rookie of the month, player of the week etc.) is named Russian Elite League instead of KHL.

I don't think it is CA that sets those lists. Not quite sure, though

That is more on how you play him. He is more offensively inclined than the other two guys, but not as productive IRL. However that is possible?

Russian players and staff based in Europe has their correct transcription. The NHL is wrong

I have no idea how those lists get ranked. Giordano has higher CA/PA and reputation than Brodie, for example

Pretty sure that has to do with one of the bigger flaws of the game right now, the fact that D-men shoot way to much and overall score too many points so offensive D-men get much better rating... Not sure if that's because of something in the DB that was suited to EHM07 but makes it like this in EHM:EA or if its something with the game right now but i feel confident that it will get patched

I have no clue but I know the last couple of updates Kunitz in EHM 2007 was ranked quite high because he used to be a "real" 1st liner (as in: score lots of points with Crosby). He's been on quite a steep decline this year (so far).

Spunds about right for Miller. But yeah shooting percentages may be high....Raffl and VOracek at 25% for me, and Simmonds and B Schenn both above 20. Giroux at 16.

In roster "Grigory Misharin" - false first name. Georgi - true name.

Of what I have seen through the years the rep number is what controls how AI handles everything in this game. Created a UFA with CA 10 / PA -5 and with 200 in rep and every NHL team wanted to sign the player. I think rep is more important than anything in this game.

In my db every so called franchise player on the teams Tavares, OEL, Kane, Hall etc. is UNT for the AI (I have 200 in rep for them) when trying to aquire them via trade. In EHM2007 though the salaries is paying a big part of trades so UNT's with bigger salaries are easier to trade for than players with higher of course

Please report any problem you find in the KHL (note that I'm working on the rosters currently, therefore they will be better soon). You can write me in Russian if you prefer so (in this case send me a PM)
