Given he was drafted 5th overall in 2011 I was surprised Strome was not part of the UUDB 5.5 rosters!

I checked the lastest version of the TBL Rosters (5.2), and Strome is listed as having a -9 PA

Hi

I'm having a problem with the pre game database editor 1.7.

When i try to use it just says - unable to load database. please choose another one.

But the current database location aint the one where have the game installed. It's the old location where i used to have the game. And i can't change anything in the box there it says - The current database is:

I have windows 7 and i run the editor as an administrator but i don't work.

Does anyone know have/had the same problem?

You can usually move teams between divisions okay. However, you cannot add or remove divisions in playable leagues and you cannot change the number of teams in a playable league/division.

Are there supposed to be the spaces? Maybe try 11.3.1985 instead of 11. 3. 1985

When I use the Pregame Editor I don't see spaces, I get slashes...so I see 11/3/1985 or 11/03/1985

I know the Pregame Editor seems to sometimes "switch" formats from day/month/year to month/day/year (but that's not an issue when both day/month are 12 or less, so it shouldn't affect your issue)

Is there any other software that needs to be installed with the editor? I never had problems before, but I had to re-install windows, and when I try to run it now after re-installing, I get an error, access violation in the .exe. I am running it as an Admin in Windows 7.

For Future Transfers in the extra_config file, what is the format of "HC Lugano" "Rauman Lukko" 1 5 2013 0 200000 2

Is it "Team Currently On" "Team Going To" Month Day Year UnknowntoMe Salary Years or do I have something backwards? I'm trying to do the Burmistrov and Kovalchuk signings at the end of the 2012-13 season that I'm about to start.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone know if Club Reputation grows and shrinks depending on how they perform?
IE a 3000 rep CHL team winning every season, does their rep stay at 3000?

I don't "know" this, but I don't think the Club Reputation is dynamic/changing (and AFAIK there's no way to view any Club data in either the SavedGame Editor or the SavedGame Updater)

You can see/edit the Club Reputation in a saved game?

Yeah, used the saved game editor, load up a save, and click the "club" tab up top


for instance

my New Jersey Devils have 10,000 rep in two of my saves, where the Vancouver Giants have 3500, and 4200 respectivly. I dont know what they started at tho

Edit: Im under the impression that the Rep does not shrink as a team loses. The penguins in one game have finished around 12th, topping at 7th for the past 10 seasons, and have 10,000 rep
