Want to Move a team back to Atlanta (NHL)

Post by Iceman87GT »

I'm from Atlanta so I would love to give Hockey in the Peach State one more shot this time with an ownership group that cares about the team instead of one that bought them as a package deal to get the Hawks and the arena.

Ideally it would be a scenario where Winnipeg got the Coyotes and the Thrashers stayed in Atlanta (that way Atlanta retains Thrasher history and Winnipeg gets its Jets history). Is there any way to do this, are there fan interest values already programmed into the game for Atlanta or would I have to create my own (if its the latter if someone could provide this info from the 2007 release). Also my plan would be to remain the team (Phoenix - why there hasn't been a team named this in Atlanta yet is mind boggling), and I would insert my own logos, I know I can look up the tutorials on how to do this but just want to make sure it is something I can do.

Yes it can be done.
You'd use the Pregame Editor http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =88&t=6745
You can make Phoenix a defunct team, and have both Atlanta/Winnipeg in the NHL

The Atlanta Thrashers are in the TBL databases.
I suggest creating a new team rather than overwriting the Thrashers name [in the past editing NHL team names (and some others) has caused crashes/databases not to work]; you can still copy/paste a lot of the franchise information from the Thrashers (see the Clubs tab in the Pregame Editor)

NOTE - If you want to use your database with EHM:EA, I think you'll have to use the 2006 rule set. The 2014 rule set automatically moves teams around so they'll match the current IRL situation. There's no way to stop this from happening. But you can use the 2006 rule, and a database that's no older than 7.3

I'm kinda lost here. Is there a way to move the Florida Panthers to Quebec City, rename them the Nordiques, and change the logos and stuff in ehm 2015? If so how is it done?

Thank you. On a separate subject, can I make an expansion team in EHM 2015?

Not in game.
With the editor and config file you can replace a team
