New to playing Eastside Hockey Manager, well playing it that is. You guys have won me over with the NCAA leagues. INCREDIBLE
There's a problem with our NCAA.
I need foppa's help to solve it, so I hope he will
NCAA problem is fixed. The thing is that we need to import back things in 07 DB and so on, it's a process that can get up to 1-2 days. Sorry for the wait, but it'll be worth it.
Not sure if you guys ever need help with covering certain leagues. But being based in the Midwest I'm able to follow the USHL/NAHL leagues weekly.
I make it simple. Only line tactic and if there are some guys with Wristshot and slapshot about 19 or 20, change to "shooting machine". You know, this option .... Dont know how its name.
And it works. Now i have some players, that will attack 800 goals in career, maybe 900.
I think they'd appreciate it! I started the templates for those two leagues to be playable and used EP stats and current rosters, some HF insights and college commitment lists to put together the overall framework of the leagues and setup the future college commitments in the config file. But I'm no scout.
I should have the NAHL and an updated USHL (with current rosters and commitments) for Alessandro to potentially incorporate by next week and then maybe you can be the roster guy to tweak ratings and add to once the framework is done?
Big fan of those leagues. I could for sure add some insight on players who stand out. Wish I knew about this game sooner, would have loved to have given a full season of notes to you guys on each player.
My biggest gripe with the game right now is the "We don't want to trade for this guy because he hasn't seen much action lately" mechanic that was recently put in.
I'm just trying to move some 4th line/healthy scratch guys around for late draft picks or mediocre prospects to free up some roster space but no team will touch them because they don't get playing time.
Can't wait for this new DB to come out!
It is already on the Steam Workshop.
I advise against playing with it. The new version will be ready in a couple of days.
Am I the only one still having issues with the quality of goalies steadily going down over the years?
I'm in 2027 in my database, Price just retired, and aside from Holtby who's nearing retirement himself, there's exactly two other 5 stars goalie in the league. I'm currently stuck with two young guys considered back-ups, and I'm averaging nearly 4 goals a game even though I have five 5 stars defensemen and six 5 stars forwards...
Which brings me to my second point, any NHL caliber goalie will tend to average around .900 SV% at a minimum... My goalies are closer to .850... I think the big issue with young goalies is that there seem to be a bias against physical abilities goalie prospects... It's extremely rare to find prospects with acceleration and speed in the green, and that's usually the stat that's most influenced when they get older. You look at the goalies that are edited manually, and they all have good physical stats... But then it goes to **** when you get further down the line and you need to draft randomly generated players...
This is also due to the fact that most goalies, and consequently regens too, are not rated with attributes. If anyone would join the research, we'd have a good DB but most of people is just happy to play the game and complain.
I suspect that what Alessandro's getting at (perhaps I'm wrong/I don't want to speak for him! just offering my own thoughts) is a number of Attributes remain the same from start-up to regens, so if they're not rated (i.e. have "0" at start-up) and they get a low rating at start-up they'll continue to have the ongoing issue forever (if they get a low value in say Consistency, they'll remain inconsistent forever)Not sure I understand that part.
No, of course not! but it may explain why those working hard for free might take the opportunity to appeal for more researchers/supportShould I have part ownership of the game franchise to have the right to complain in this thread? Is that what this is about?

Let the free market prevail then...find some people that want to contribute and can put out a quality product and then charge for it...
