How do I get the database working? I downloaded the Version 7.0 - Seattle & Quebec and extracted it with WinRAR at Steam/steamapps/common/Eastside Hockey Manager/data/database/NHL32 - SeattleQuebec v7.0-folder. The game crashes always in 'Initializing game data'-part when starting a new game. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah it was my mistake because I selected all leagues. I left some out and now the database is working correctly. Thank you for a great job!

EEK!
Does anyone know how the game registers players who have dual citizenship? Would they newgen/regen under their international playing country, or as their 'home' country?
I have Portugal playing in the World Championships, and although the players have played for them in the competition, their nationality is still their original country. I know in FM once they represent a new country, they become part of that nationality

EEK!
In the EHM Assistant I do have it set as 'Secondary Nation" but their original country still shows up. It's no big deal, just don't know if they'll regenerate as Portuguese or their original nationality
I'm releasing NHL36 v7.1 tomorrow and the big news will be the re-implementing of the Expansion Draft file, so teams will be stocked from the get-go. I'll go over the details and the rules that were in place for the draft, but just as a sneak preview, here are the results!
HOUSTON AEROS
· Star Forward: Had a disappointing playoff stint with Nashville last season, but Kyle Turris is a terrific all-around center still in his prime with offensive, defensive and leadership capabilities. Zach Parise is of course the bigger name but not the player he once was.
· Star Defender: Travis Hamonic will try to put a disappointing stay in Calgary behind him and attempt to recapture the form that had him compared to a Shea Weber-lite when he was a younger player.
· Starting Goalie: Seen as underwhelming at every stop, Jacob Markstrom has nonetheless carved out a career as a legit NHL starter and he’ll shoulder the majority of the load for the Aeros in year one.
· Biggest Strengths: There’s plenty to like about the potential of the Aeros’ top 6 forward group, especially if Parise can turn back the clock a bit and if Victor Rask can rebound from a poor 17-18. Even if not, Turris should be deadly with fellow former Predator-teammate Craig Smith and Vlad Namestnikov and Nick Bjugstad are interesting secondary options. The defense has a nice mix of playing styles and goes 8-deep which should make for some versatile pairings.
· Biggest Weaknesses: The bottom-6 is kind of a quirky mix of players…Martin Hanzal’s health will be key to forming a useful checking unit. On the blueline, Alexander Edler has been declining quickly and Nikita Zaitsev is coming off a poor season so if Hamonic doesn’t rebound, the defense, while deep, could be a bit rudderless. Backup netminder Joonas Korpisalo really needs to step up and prove his rookie season was no fluke.
· Top 5 Young Players:
1) Matt Grzlycek, LD: Pocket-rocket defender made a big impact as a rookie last year, is super smart and mobile.
2) Tyler Parsons, G: Rough transition to pro game last year but still super young and big-time starter upside.
3) Ivan Barbashev, C: Russian center should be ready to step up to full-time NHL duty; versatile at both ends of ice.
4) Jakub Zboril, RD: Former Bruin prospect being brought along slowly; nice combo of physicality and raw offensive upside.
5) Mitchell Vande Sompel, LD: Undersized and mobile rearguard will look to build on nice pro debut season.
KANSAS CITY SCOUTS
· Star Forward: Couple options for this role; David Krejci is still undoubtedly the better player, but it is the “Wayne Train”, Wayne Simmonds, who is likely to endear himself to the crowd in KC with his fearless and hard-shooting style of play. He’ll need to put his lingering injury issues behind him to maximize his impact.
· Star Defender: He went from greedy but highly-rated college prospect to defensive bust to Stanley Cup champ and critical blueline puck mover…and he’s still only 28. That would be Justin Schultz’s career in a nutshell.
· Starting Goalie: Unlike most of the other teams who went for proven starting experience, the Scouts opted for a premier veteran backup who many believe has starting potential in Aaron Dell. The options behind him are even more inexperienced so the pressure is on.
· Biggest Strengths: Krejci and Simmonds should be dynamite together and, on their left, Mathieu Perreault is no slouch. The second line features two recent Cup champ heroes in Lars Eller and Alex Burakovsky. With the likes of Gustav Nyquist and Kevin Labanc also on the roster, this could be a high-scoring team. Especially when combined with Schultz on the back-end, where he will likely team with former fellow Pen Olli Maatta.
· Biggest Weaknesses: If Dell isn’t up to performing at a solid level for 60 games, netminding could be a big issue; Alex Georgiyev is talented but incredibly unproven and Cal Petersen is likewise gifted but wasn’t even a full-time AHL starter last year. Forward group is gifted but lacking in size and overall depth is inexperienced, so injuries could be a major factor in how the club does.
· Top 5 Young Players:
1) Andre Burakovsky, LW: Hard to believe he’s still only 23; despite some Cup highlights and big talent, has been incredibly streaky and frustrating thus far in career.
2) Kevin Labanc, RW: Another young winger with offensive upside and plenty of NHL experience.
3) Kasperi Kapanen, RW: Pure speedster could play offensive of forechecking role this year.
4) Vladislav Kamenev, C: Well-rounded pivot with ideal size could slot into middle-6 in near future.
5) Alexandre Carrier, RD: Puck-moving defender from the Nashville prospect system – all the endorsement he needs.
QUEBEC NORDIQUES
· Star Forward: There are certainly bigger names on the roster up front but the real star on offense could very well be Yanni Gourde. Gourde put up 64 points as a rookie last year and the 26 year-old grew up about 45 minutes south of Quebec City so look for him to be super popular with the re-born franchise.
· Star Defender: Tyler Myers never hit the heights expected of him after his rookie season in Buffalo, but the former Sabre and Jet is still only 28 and remains an intriguing specimen – it will be interesting to see what he can do with all the ice time he can handle.
· Starting Goalie: The Nordiques roll into the 18-19 season with perhaps the most impactful goalie of any of the expansion teams in Semyon Varlamov. Although he’s been inconsistent, when he’s on, he’s a top flight goalie and he gets better the more rubber he sees – and he should see plenty of shots against this year.
· Biggest Strengths: It starts in net for the Nords who not only have Varlamov but one of the best backup goalies in the league in Darcy Kuemper. The duo will likely provide better goaltending than many established teams will get this season. There’s tons of experience and leadership up front with the likes of Mikko Koivu, Alex Steen, T.J. Oshie and Boone Jenner. The checking lines should be deep and good with guys like Riley Sheahan and Michael Frolik. The defense will be plenty tough and rugged.
· Biggest Weaknesses: How much do the vets like Koivu, Steen and Johnny Boychuk have left in the tank? Their ability to steal a good year or two in a new situation could be make or break for the Nords. While it looks dependable defensively, the defensive group – at least the vets – would seem to be lacking puck-moving and transition ability which may hurt the offense overall.
· Top 5 Young Players:
1) Jordan Schmaltz, RD: Had a tough time breaking through with Blues but could provide needed blueline offense.
2) Nick Merkley, RW: Undersized but dynamic playmaker coupled with competitive nature.
3) Carl Grundstrom, LW: Swedish winger is not afraid of getting dirty to score, in the grand tradition of Holmstrom and Hornqvist.
4) Mason Appleton, C: Underrated center took to pro game like a duck to water; should be ready to contribute.
5) Connor Ingram, G: Very young goalie with plenty of time to develop behind Varlamov and Kuemper.
SASKATCHEWAN WHITETAILS
· Star Forward: Several Whitetails could fit this role but look for Swiss star Nino Niederreiter to flourish with prime ice time as a go-to player in Saskatoon. He's at the right age to handle more of a load, is a deadly finisher and an advanced metrics darling.
· Star Defender: With Andy Greene getting long in the tooth, look for another vet, Jeff Petry, to be the bellwether for the defense in year one. Hardly exciting but long undervalued for his low-maintenance style.
· Starting Goalie: James Reimer will get another chance to be the undisputed #1 on a team and he's still fairly young by goalie standards so this will be his team, even if talented Tristan Jarry is nipping at his heels.
· Biggest Strengths: The top-6 forward group looks very solid and with nobody all that aging among the group, there's definitely some scoring upside. In fact, the overall forward group, if healthy, should be a definite strength. Likewise, depth on the backend is sound with the likes of Thomas Hickey and Radko Gudas more than accomplished enough to serve as third pairing defenders. And Reimer and Jarry should be a solid goaltending duo with some upside.
· Biggest Weaknesses: There's a definite lack of star power on defense, especially with Greene not the player he once was. There are some intriguing prospects on the roster like Oliver Kylington and Zach Senyshyn but aside from Jarry in net, no sure-fire top-6 or top-4 guarantees among the younger players. In net, Reimer has never started more than 44 games in a season and Jarry is still unproven.
· Top 5 Young Players:
1) Tristan Jarry, G: Some Pens scouts quietly think he could have challenged Murray in net for the Pens eventually, which is high praise indeed.
2) Steve Santini, RD: Game isn't sexy but he's a quality stay-at-home defender with NHL experience.
3) Oliver Kylington, LD: Mobile Swedish defender could inject some offense into the blueline.
4) Caleb Jones, LD: Seth's younger bro has a pro skillset and frame, possible top 4 defender.
5) Zach Senyshyn, RW: Power forward with nose for the net but needs more seasoning.
SEATTLE TOTEMS
· Star Forward: The Totems first pick in the draft was center Tyler Johnson. With many impressive seasons under his belt with Tampa and at only 28 years old, the small but dynamic Johnson is an ideal building block for the offense.
· Star Defender: Jay Bouwmeester is the biggest name but the true rock on defense should be his top pairing partner, Justin Braun, from the Sharks – he can shut guys down and chip in offensively as well.
· Starting Goalie: Craig Anderson is getting old and had a poor season last year, but the Totems hope to squeeze one more sold year of starting out of him before inevitably turning the reigns over to former Canadien, Charlie Lindgren.
· Biggest Strengths: The top defensive pairing of Bouwmeester-Braun should be super solid, if unspectacular. Plus, lots of promising youth on the blueline but might need a bit more seasoning. There's plenty of depth and experience on the right wing, especially if Patrick Eaves is fully healthy. Johnson and Okposo could put up some good numbers as a duo. And watch out for Josh Ho-Sang...if his head is screwed on straight, he could be brilliant. That's a big "if" though.
· Biggest Weaknesses: There's a nice mix at left wing with some promising younger guys like Nick Ritchie and Maxim Mamin but overall there's very little immediate scoring support here. It remains to be seen if Ryan Strome will ever fulfill his promise - the Totems really need him to be the #2 scoring pivot behind Johnson or the offense could sputter. Jake McCabe and the aging Alex Goligoski don't inspire much as the second pair on the blueline. Lindgren may have to be ready ASAP if Anderson continues to decline in net.
· Top 5 Young Players:
1) Josh Ho-Sang, RW: Might be the steal of the expansion draft, long-term, if he dedicates himself.
2) Charlie Lindgren, G: Could be starting in net by second half of season, starting goalie upside.
3) Nick Ritchie, LW: Truculent power-forward that needs to find his scoring touch.
4) Jacob Larsson, LD: Another former Duck should be a steady-eddy on the blueline within near future.
5) Lucas Johansen, LD: Ryan's younger bro has both the physical traits and tools to be a top 4 defender.

Is there an expansion draft at the moment with this Database ? Would it be done manually using the editor ?
NHL36 v7.1 Update
DATA UPDATES
- The usual...major transaction updates around the world and lots of tinkering with future college, junior and draft prospects. Caught quite a few KHL re-signings that were missed in 7.0 and latest NHL movements include the Skinner trade.
DRAFTS
- Big news with 7.1 is incorporation of Expanion Draft results in an Expansion Draft files that accompanies each version of the DB. Run the file in the Archi's EHM editor to stock each of the new NHL teams.
- Each existing team had 10 protection slots, all players born 1998 or after were extempt, all major recent summer 2018 signings were exempt and after each team had a player chosen off their roster, they got to protect an additional exposed player of the same position (RW for RW, LD for LD, etc). Made for some interesting results as you will see below and I think while none of the teams will exactly be Vegas-quality, they do get to start with a decent roster and some good younger players as well.

Actually have just started to do some testing with the expansion draft incorporated into NHL36 and it's pretty fun. One thing you will notice right off the bat is that having the 5 extra teams stocked with players not only gives those players a better opportunity to shine in a new situation - it also really gives younger guys and prospects on existing teams a much better shot of latching on to full time gigs at the NHL level.
Keep in mind that to get 5 new teams stocked to a respectable level with a good mix of current and younger talent - it meant that existing teams all had to lose significant players. And the better the team, the more it hurt. None of the 5 new teams will be Vegas-good right off the bat but still...155 players had to be sucked off existing clubs. And look how badly it stung some clubs:
- Washington, the reigning Cup champs, lost what amounts to an entire second line in Andre Burakovsky, Lars Eller and T.J. Oshie plus a solid defender in Michal Kempny plus one of their top prospects in Lucas Johansen.
- Same for Nashville who lost basically a top 6 scoring line of Calle Jarnkrok, Kyle Turris and Craig Smith plus a good prospect in Alexandre Carrier.
- And ditto for the Lightning who had to see Alex Killorn, Tyler Johnson and Yanni Gourde plucked away.
- Winnipeg lost two top 6 forwards in Bryan Little and Mathieu Perreault plus a top 4 defender in Tyler Myers and a good prospect in Mason Appleton.
- The Pens lost their second defensive pairing in Olli Maatta and Justin Schultz and a terrific goalie prospect in Tristan Jarry and a vital checking line player in Bryan Rust.
- The Leafs are deep in younger talent so their losses were more on the prospect side with guys like Kasperi Kapanen, Carl Grundstrom, Andreas Borgman and Jeremy Bracco all being taken as well as a key defender in Nikita Zaitsev.
Contrast this with the relatively painless losses from poor rosters such as the Sens, Wings and Oilers. Hell, the Sens two main losses were Craig Anderson and Bobby Ryan and they were practically begging teams to take those salaries off the books.
So expect to see some interesting results, more parity and a super deep crop of NHL rookies in 2018-19 and beyond in the NHL36 database. Combine all the extra jobs and less depth per team with the fact that I tend to inflate top prospect ratings on purpose and you should have a really fun time roster building.

NHL32 v7.1 Update
Same song & dance as the NHL36 update but for the 32-team NHL32 database - main thing added is a Seattle starting Expansion Draft file that will stock Seattle with a decently solid team starting out.
Remember that the Seattle & Quebec version of NHL32 has Arizona moved to Quebec City (entire roster, staff, prospects, etc). Also updated in v7.1 is the config file for that DB so that traded Arizona picks, player extensions and cap penalties now reflect for Quebec.
Also the Karlsson signing and Gibson extension have been ninja-edited into all the v7.1 databases for NHL36 & NHL32. And Quinn Hughes and Brady Tkachuk will now stay in college for the 18-19 season and be NHL rookies for 19-20.
I'll post the NHL32 Seattle Expansion Draft roster soon, the one incorporated into the download. It is different from the NHL36 Seattle roster as the draft was handled slightly differently with only one team picking (similar to Vegas last year).

Here's the Seattle Expansion Draft Roster for NHL32. It should be a relatively competitive team...strong up the middle, some solid defenders, good goalie depth and a nice blend of vets who aren't too long in the tooth and some prospects with upside. Enjoy! And of course, feel free to tweak the results for your own starting roster!

how do you base attributes for players in other leagues? I always found it interesting that in some TBL databases, Pavel Brendl always had really good attributes but I could never get him to cross over.
SHL regulars in my DB range from ECHL quality to 3rd line/2nd pair/1B NHL talent. Really it’s case by case.

Would anyone know how the World Cup is programmed in? Because I play with the original DB, I didn’t actually think it was a programmed tournament. We had one in 2028/2029 so I don’t know how if it’s something that happens every 20 years or so.
Trying something new. Using the 7.0 NHL32 without expansion draft and players added to playable teams. I'm gonna try building the team from the generated players and draft only, with one undrafted player signing per year. My best shooter has a wristshot of 39. 
My UDFA for 2018-2019 will be Max Veronneau (RW). Vladimir Tkachyov (LW) will be the 2019-2020 one as he's coming April 2019.

So it didn’t exactly add NHL level players for you with that option selected I’m guessing?
In 53 games, my team scored 23 and gave up 823.
My backup goalie played 48 games in relief (so 48 gp, no W or L
) of my starter, who has 15.77 GAA with a sv% of .786.My leading scorer has 10 points (Veronneau). One of my D is a whopping -294.
EDIT:
Season ends
GF: 32
GA: 1310
Best scorer: Max Veronneau 82 gp 6-6-12
