As mentioned in the new site announcement, all users now have a GM Profile and Career History. You can quickly access them by clicking on the Control Panel link in the navigation bar. Then from the UCP page you will see links to your profiles in the top right corner. Alternatively, you can follow the links below:
Your GM Profile: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/profile_gm.php
Your Career History: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/pr ... llenge.php
If you want to view another user's GM Profile or Career History, there are a number of ways of doing this:
1) When reading a user's post, click on the Profile button located under a their avatar.
2) When viewing a Challenge Stats table (i.e. the overall leaderboard, entire season stats, etc), click on the username from the table.
3) Find the user in the Member List: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/memberlist.php
4) Usually wherever you see a username on the site, you can click on it to access that user's profile.
Career History
This page is really self-explanatory. This details season-by-season every single Challenge that you have taken part in. It shows you totals for each type of Challenge (i.e. NHL / North America / Europe) as well as an overall total.
GM Profile
Like the Career History page, the GM Profile also shows your career totals for the Challenges (it just shows the overall total rather than a break down of season by season). In addition, it shows your season average based on an average season being 82 games (i.e. the equivalent of an NHL regular season).
This page also shows how far you made it in the NHL Playoffs. It details how far you have made it in the Playoffs and how many times.
The most interesting part of the GM Profile is probably the General Manager Attributes section. This rates your average Challenge performance using EHM-style attributes. In order to improve your attributes you must improve you average Challenge performance. The following stats categories affect your GM attributes:
PIM (the lower the PIM the better), wins, win%, goals scored, goals against, PP%, and PK%.
Most of the stats and attributes are inter-related so you will need to improve more than just one category of stats to see your attributes increase.
The maximum attribute you can achieve depends on your potential ability. Just like in EHM, as you raise your potential, the maximum attribute you can achieve will increase (up to 20). Your potential rises as you complete more seasons in EHM (note that they must be complete seasons; incomplete seasons don't count). When you start off, you will see that you potential will rise quite sharply initially (so as to encourage our newer users). After this initial boost, your potential will rise more steadily. Once you have completed 20 seasons you have achieved a potential ability of 200. Whether your attributes will be this high of course depends on how good your stats are. It is very possible to have a potential ability of 200 but have attributes that are only at 1 if your stats are low enough.
Your current ability rating will rise as you improve your stats. Like the attributes, this is also limited by your potential ability. As you complete more seasons you should see this rise and then plateau. Then to improve it you have to improve you stats (i.e. your Challenge averages).
