Premier Pivot Rosters v9.4.0 (2024/25) Released
A new release of xECK29x’s Premier Pivot Rosters for the 2024/25 season is now available for download via Steam! A huge THANK YOU to xECK29x and his many helpers who are keeping EHM alive and well. Comments and questions can be posted here.
General Updates:
- Latest notable transactions and contract extensions for playable leagues
- Implemented new attribute standards based on researcher consensus and applied them database wide except for players over 100 CA and NHL floor PA players. I removed a majority of pre-set attributes, allowing the game to randomize them on start to allow more variation to players based on role. Expect a lot more randomness new game to new game.
- I am looking for feedback here, good or bad, especially for lower-level league or European focused players!
- Any players with no player-type set have had all attributes set to 0.
- Cleaned up free agent players
Prospect Generator Updates — thanks ImActuallyAnOtter!!
- In the last release, about 30% players had no physical attributes set. Physical attributes have now been set for all players
- Updated model for anticipation, creativity and decisions implemented as a beta for this issue
- Expect significant changes to be coming to the PG based on Community Poll feedback, these will be included in the next issue
International Updates:
- Updated World Championship top level team count to 16 and Divsion 3 team count to 6 — thanks filip85!!
- Updated game counts for all stages of WC
Canadian Updates:
- Updated CHL league captains and attendance and processed all trade deadline moves for all three leagues.
Finnish Updates:
- Tightened up Liiga and Mestis schedules in February/March to move playoffs forward three days to prevent Relegation Playoffs from rolling over past the May 1st cutoff date. This may need further adjusting after more testing. — Thanks Thomaxius for the report!!
NHL Updates:
- Updated the entire 2025 draft class (396+ players) based on CSS mid-term rankings and World Junior performances
- Updated notable players for 2026 and 2027 draft classes
- Updated starting injuries and future retirements
- Updated attendance averages
- Will be reducing/re-tiering NHL level staff, feels like rep/CA are too high end for positions like scouts. Will be adjusted as I update organizations during re-rates.
- Re-rated starting goalies based slightly on The Athletic’s Tier List
- Started NHL re-rates which cover staff, players and prospects/RFAs. Teams completed in this update:
- BOS
- DAL
