Premier Pivot Rosters v10.6.0 (2025/26) Released

A new release of the Premier Pivot Rosters for 2025/26 is now available on Steam (click here for details)! Thanks as always to xECK29x and his many helpers who keep the game alive!

The rosters can be downloaded from Steam via this link.

General updates:

  • Latest transactions across most playable leagues, some leagues will not be updated through the year as often as others
  • Set correct passing tendency for specific player roles (mainly sniper/playmakers) across the DB where it was incorrectly skewed in the wrong direction.
  • Fixed a bunch of broken/incorrectly linked Transfer Rules within some playable leagues in Europe. This may be why the economies of some playable leagues (such as the NIHL) felt “broken”. — thanks Vik3tbotselektor!!
  • Tripled amount of PG generated staff added to the database.
  • Removed NCAA transfers slated for 2027+ due to EHM not allowing those players to join new teams if dropped/aged out due to the future commitment. — thanks Seanie!!

International Updates:

  • Added new IIHF tournament: European Cup of Nations — thanks Vik!
  • Lightly updated WJC players, will be covered at mid-season 2026 NHL draft update in the February release.

NHL Updates:

  • Re-rated entire NHL (all players signed to contracts) using models created with the assistance of ChatGPT and using raw data from over 60 analytic and statistic data sources. This modeling took a lot of time but allows us to have a repeatable process that is scalable across several leagues where similar datasets exist! I’m personally very happy with these results and while it will need some tweaking really shows more unique player types and personalities on the ice.
    • Will create a post on the TBL forum explaining the modeling in more detail and how it works. I will make the code available for use on GitHub later in the year, reach out to me directly in the meantime if you want more detail.
  • Updated club records — thanks Backa!!
  • Re-rated NHL head coaches based on ELO ratings
  • Tweaked NHL standings sort rules again based on bug reports and feedback — thanks Seanie and Vik!!

AHL Updates:

  • Completed similar data-driven though more synthetic modeling re-rates of AHL contracted players, not as detailed as NHL.
  • Updated club records — thanks Backa!!

SHL Updates:

  • Updated club records — thanks Backa!!
