NHLX Database for EHM 1 now available
BKArchitect is back with his biggest fictional expansion database for Eastside Hockey Manager yet! The database is available from his very nifty website and feedback/questions can be posted here.
The NHLX database is originally based on real life rosters but is expanded to cover a wider hockey universe with plenty of new spins on the hockey world. As BK puts it:
The NHLX database is my sandbox database meant to test new ideas and scenarios. Constantly evolving. Constantly updated. And now available for you to experience.
