A new release of the Pivot Rosters 2019/20 by xECK29x is now available on Steam. As always, questions/comments/feedback can be posted in the forums HERE. This is another substantial update and features updates worldwide.

Changelist: 

General Updates:
– Updated potentials for future NHL draft talent
– Added/updated players and staff participating in the World Junior U20 Championships
– Reset all budget and financial data for all leagues and countries besides some specific leagues that have max contract amounts, thanks to Aahlstroem for all the research and testing!!
— This will greatly change the way budgets were previously calculated with manually inputted numbers, we are now leaving it up to the game AI to generate more real-life realistic numbers based on club reputation and other factors
– Added financial data for some missing countries which have human-playable leagues
– Due to a game bug I’ve removed all re-set National Team contracts for staff in the DB, this was causing issues where National Teams would be unable to fill rosters or sign other staff
– Added over 680 physio’s world-wide which should help with a lack of this critical staff on clubs — thanks Alles!!

NHL Updates:
– Reset NHL salary cap numbers back to real-life numbers, upped some staff maximum wages to make them more realistic
— Instructions provided in Workshop Item description on how to change the salary cap yourself
– Reduced CAs for some still available UFAs to make them less attractive to AI clubs
– Changed All-Star format to conference based (East vs West) as it’s closer to the real-life format. Real-life 3v3 mini-game tournament not supported by the game at this time
– Increased CAs of some players who have really bad buried contracts so they have the right cap hits (ex: Backes & Ladd)
