is that even possible in this game?
No, it’s possible to add though I can see it being a transfer rule.

Ooof - I haven't updated that in FOREVER. I plan on doing a complete database overhaul soon (well, I've started actually) but it's going to take months to complete.
Best bet is for somebody to take the newest Pivot rosters and adjust the NHL and AHL for Seattle and Palm Springs to be added...if somebody wants to do that and use my 32 team NHL structure as a guide (simply open both databases in separate editor instances and adjust NHL settings and structure and export/import schedule templates in Pivot to match the NHL32 database) - they are free to use my old NHL32 as a guide for that. Or maybe @xECK29x has already done a version like this, I haven't followed this thread in a long time so not sure if there is a 32-team Pivot roster floating around or not.
I can supply Seattle Kraken color and logos and Palm Springs (placeholder) info and logos if needed to match dani9's logo format.
I bought FHM to get my fix and I was really impressed with a lot of them cool features, but for whatever reason still can’t hold a candle to EHM. I really wish EHM was yearly release would easily fork over $20-40 instead of $60 for crappy EA Sports game.
Probably because it isn't worth it for SI to release a yearly new base game. Most people wouldn't continuously buy it since the "improvements" likely aren't worth the money. Hockey is a very niche sport and there aren't a lot of people buying hockey video games (as compared to NFL or FIFA games), so SI likely wouldn't see a profit with yearly releases (if it did, they would do it, as they do it with FM, which is their priority)
If EA NHL can survive year after year with product one worse than another, then I wouldn't have any fear for EHM yearly release. Too bad SI doesn't care too much.
But base EHM doesn't have rights to the NHLPA correct? EA is a big flashy game that has all the star power and marketing.If EA NHL can survive year after year with product one worse than another, then I wouldn't have any fear for EHM yearly release. Too bad SI doesn't care too much.

EA is a huge company, and they have an exclusive deal with the NHL to release games, so they have to do it. SI does not have the cash that EA does
Sorry if posted already, but why WJC's final game is on January 9th, while is supposed to be on January 5th ?
@archibalduk - is it possible to import EHM 2004 DB into EHM 1 ?

I am still considering adding a Seattle/Palm Springs variant (just empty teams besides staff for both), but I want to wait until this RC is out the door and we don't have any major issues, will likely start including Seattle closer to when I will release the first TBL (around the start of the NHL season in December).
Incredible work as always. The fact that this is in RC form in early September is remarkable.
@archibalduk ; at TBL retro roster download section in opening post of 1998. DB writes following;
For the best “retro experience at this time” it is recommended at startup
Does it mean I should enable this or leave it disabled as it is by default ?
- enable Fog of War
- select/check "Disable All Extra Staff
- select/check "Disable All Extra Players
- select/check Retain All Teams
Yes, yes, I figured out moment after I postedBy default (unchecked) those items are ENABLED, you will want to DISABLE them by checking them.
Do young players get randomly assigned to teams in 1998. DB ? In my save Henrik Lundqvist is playing for Timra J20 instead of his RL club which was Frolunda J20.
