nino33 wrote: THANK YOU SO MUCH! What an improvement this will be thanks to your efforts XenHL! I'm currently inputting the colour schemes you provided; so far I've gone through 11 NHL teams and 5 have had changes made.......just wondering, what happened to the Chicago Black Hawks?

Manimal wrote:Marc Bergevin is set as invalid in the editor but turns up as staff(I guess the invalids with non-player atts will do so). Either retire him or set him up as the player he was.

Manimal wrote:BTW, Was Bobby Orr that slow? His skating is horrendous

XenHL wrote:By 74-75 the Seals were called California Golden Seals. Was this an oversight, or did you deliberately use the original name? If deliberate, I can put the original logo into the logo pack and put the original colours...

XenHL wrote:Sorel Black Hawks - by everything I could find, "Black Hawks" is just an English 'translation' of the French name, "Sorel Éperviers"; it seems the Éperviers name is the official one... though I could well be wrong.Also, in the OHL you have three teams that are different incarnations of the same franchise: St. Catharine's Black Hawks -> Niagara Falls Flyers -> North Bay Centennials.

With fixing the signing of underagers issue taking up a lot of my editing time for the foreseeable future (and other important tasks on the list of things to do), I'm not likely to make further changes to teams at this point in time.......but I do "care" - I have notes of my own, plus Guides from the era, and I appreciate the comments/feedback/ideas of other users.....I will use all of these resources when I make improvements in the future (IIRC the QMJHL is missing the Trois Rivieres Draveurs!)


I was messing with team names both times I lost hundreds of hours worth of work!.......while the messing with team names had nothing to do with the data loss, I may have developed a phobia! HaHa

batdad wrote:For the names...it is probably more of a case of Nino not knowing how to make the dot over Loob's name and all the different accents etc on his keyboard. I know I don't. SOmeone taught me something once...lets see ...nope codes not working for me....have to settle for this: NIITTTTTTTYYYMAAAAAAKKKKKKIIIII

XenHL wrote:While I agree on the player names, I don't think it's /hugely/ important. Plenty of more vital things to deal with first, IMO.

Re Laval's name - he got it right. The French name of the team was "National de Laval".

Manimal wrote:Montréal Bleu-Blanc-Rouge is another team that was named in French. Laval Nationale spelled their name diferently as well.
I think this is something that should be corrected. As should spelling of European players, Håkan Loob, for example.
This game is not only for the English speakers.

Moses Doughty wrote:Otherwise (outside of Boston waiving Bucyk and Montreal wanting to trade Richard) the DB is great.

CeeBee wrote:Also the same thing with Henri Richard going on waivers and Johnny Bucyk being offered around

XenHL wrote:Re Boston/Bucyk and Montreal/Richard - oh, did that for me, too!

Manimal wrote:
I wrote that because you had chosen English over French names and not used European spelling.
I know this is just the first test version, but I just post whatever things I'd like to see changed. I thought that was the reason of this whole thread.

Manimal wrote:There are several NHL-signed player with the age to be still playing in junior. Will you add rights to them?
I sent down two 20-year-olds to the AHL that I'd rather have playing their over-age year in juniors

nino33 wrote:- If I manage to find a way to keep historical European/Russians in-game, then when the rosters are "done" I would certainly look for help (yourself?) to obtain the correct European/Russian spelling for European/Russian players playing in Europe/Russia

nino33 wrote:I always struggled with the exact DOB/player age for league "age cut offs" (my created Minor Hockey Leagues overlap in some places because of this).....if you or anyone else can give me some specific names, I'll investigate further (or with a 2006 start date is it simply ensure that anyone born in 1986 has their junior rights? and anyone born in 1985/1984/etc doesn't need them?) - I know the 18 and 19 years olds should already have their Major Junior Rights, NHL Draft Information, and NHL Rights (drafted IRL in 1975 and 1976...in-game it shows as 2005 and 2006)
