NHLX v1.2b Released
A new update to BKArchitect’s biggest roster project to date is now available! The database is available from his very nifty website and feedback/questions can be posted here. The changes are as follows:
TRANSACTIONS & PLAYERS
- Updated transaction, contracts, commits and massaged ratings (every update!) Includes Toffoli of course, Cooley comitted to Minnesota instead of Notre Dame next year and a rash of pretty big European transactions that have occured because the KHL regular season has ended early.
- Lots of reputation and ratings tweaking to try and produce fairly similar top national teams minus NHL players to what nations have taken to the Olympics. Of course in NHLX, the Olympics still include the NHL players and you can never force EHM to be smart about selections but I’m pretty happy with this update.
- Tons of real new 2006 & 2007 top prospects from around the globe. The USNTDP is also filled out through the 2006 and 2007 birth years with full teams of real top American prospects (on loan at their midget/prep squads during the first season). Quite a few new real 2004 & 2005 prospects from some smaller nations have been added as well – a few who could actually turn out to be gems so keep your scouts on their toes.
- Had missed Yan Kuznetsov and Samuel Knazko being reassigned to the CHL so that is fixed.
LEAGUE UPDATES
- ***NEW LEAGUE ALTERT*** The Silver International Hockey League has been added. See info here.
TEAM UPDATES
- New Frolunda identity and logos (if you grab the logo expansion).
EXPANSION UPDATES
- Tweaked the expansion draft results/file a bit to remove some guys who I think are too valuable to their current clubs and replace with some other fringier players.
INTERNATIONAL UPDATES
- The player updates discussed above should produce some more current national team selections as well as extend real player prospects well into the future with the 2006-2007 (and some 2008) birth year prospects.
NHLX LOGO PACK EXPANSION UPDATE
- All new logos for the Silver League including the comp itself and all the teams
- New Frolunda logo (temporary for now)
- Updated the Polska Hokej Liga logo which had been missed before.
