[2025-26] xECK29x's Premier Pivot Database (v10.0.3 - 7/29/25)

[xECK29x]

v6.7 of Pivot posted, highlight of course is all NHL organizations are now re-rated. January I will complete the WHL draft classes, update players from WJC performances and team selections and start NHL draft class prep. I'll likely also do a once over on most of the major Euro leagues and minor-pros in the US. Will port things over to TBL likely closer to trade deadline or sometime in Feburary, just easier for me to do it just one time.

General Updates:
- Latest notable transactions

NHL Updates:
- NHL organizational re-rating (players, prospects and RFAs) completed for: Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals - All NHL organizations are re-rated! Will re-visit some players and all staff between trade deadline/pre-playoffs
- Updated arena names for Florida and Winnipeg -- thanks Dani9!!
- Updated head coach contracts via CapFriendly

British Updates:
- Updated junior clubs, affiliations, players and staff including adding lots of junior players! -- thanks ChaiTiefling!!

Canadian Updates:
- Only some WHL draft class notables (those who have signed commitments) added so far. Both WHL classes will be completed in January alongside NHL draft class prep and World Junior updates.

Swiss Updates:
- Updated league structure for NaturEnergie Challenge -- thanks Dani9!!

Ukranian Updates:

For Slovak Tipos Extraliga it shows stats for players season in advance, i.e. the stats for 2021/2022 season are shown in players history as 2022/2023 and those are deleted by the game after each season.

I thought this was already reported but its not in this thread, can you make a post here and upload your save to SI? https://community.sigames.com/forums/to ... r-history/.

This has to be a game issue as there is nothing in the database that would cause this behavior.

I've just purchased this game and subscribed, but I get a "Fatal Error" when I try to start a save. Is this because I haven't signed up for the Beta? If that is the case, how do I go about doing this?

Yes you'll need to opt into the beta in order to use the rosters. A step by step guide on opting into the beta can be found at the bottom of this page: https://www.ehmtheblueline.com/site/202 ... -released/

[Iceman90]

I see the Savannah Ghost Pirates are in the database (therefore inactive). Will they become active automatically in 2022?

If I want to enable them, what would be involved? Can I just change their founding year to 2021 and set them in a league and division, or do I need to book a whole schedule too?

[xECK29x]

or do I need to book a whole schedule too?

I think you asked in Discord also, yes the schedule template needs to be updated and can be tedious work.

for your information the league structure has change for the Ligue D'Excellence Midget Espoir. Some teams change name and some have just close. You can details with the link below

I also have a little question, do you think you will change team name for the french version for Quebec teams some day ?

Will take a look, but probably not, I try to keep the names eliteprospects.com uses as it makes the mass importing of data from the website much easier for us.

Great to see you guys continue the good work!

How are the draft classes in this roster? There was IIRC a prospect generator included in some older rosters which improved the prospect pool somewhat. Is that still a thing or is it even needed at this point?

Best way to tell is to play it yourself and let us know! Yes, it has the PG integrated. I have not had much negative feedback on this DB in regard to drafts, maybe a little low in 2022-23 as I only have the notables carved out for those classes thus far as you are relying on newgens/PG a bit more.

Patched in the Toffoli trade

[djskek]

I need help. Maybe someone has an idea. I need a double rule on homgrown players.
One restriction up to 24 years and one up to 21 years. (dressed players)

Unfortunately, I can only apply this rule once. I've already tried it with rookie and devlopment, but both are not transferred to the game.1

The underaged rule only works halfway. You can adjust the age, but he doesn't take over the 2 players, but take the 4 from the homegrown.

I need the rule in the DEL2 (Germany).

21 players dressed
15 normally
including 4 foreigners
at least 2 x U21 german player
Rest U24 (i.e. 4 players) german player

It just simply sounds like this is a game limitation with how the rules and rule ordering works. There will be some new rules coming in the next patch to add support for minimum age but I don't think that would help with this situation. The best place to post this for visibility would be the SI EHM forum, the wishlist thread in General or make a post in the Bugs forum.

So i started a new game in sweden, with AIK Hockey in the Hockey Allsvenskan.
There seems to be a problem with the economics in the leauge. I cannot sign any physios. Not a single one wants a salary that i can give.
I have tried anything. Cheating to get at good budget, but no. I have offered contract to every single physio that is free. around 100 persons i think.

The same thing seems to happens with scouts, but you can find some that will sign.

Is there a minimal wage setting or something like that, that can be the problem?

[xECK29x]

Is there a minimal wage setting or something like that, that can be the problem?

Thought we had this fixed, it is tied to the financial info settings for the league. Looks like I need to raise min-full time wage to 10000 for both SHL and HA, you can make this change via EHM Asistant in your existing save. I'll make sure this is included in the next update in a few weeks.

Hello!

Tiny spelling corrections: "Sakeri Salmela" (non-player, born 10.1.1992) should be "Sakari Salmela".

There's "Miska Knnuttila" who is a non-player for Liikunnan Riemu and "Miska Knuuttila", player/non-player who is a free agent, both born 5.3.1989. "Miska Knuuttila" is correct spelling, and he's a non-player (coach) for Liikunnan Riemu.

[Knoeppel]

Tried searching for answer, but couldn´t find it.
I don´t know if this is a game bug or something database related.

But i have noticed that when the World Cup is up, not a single one of my players get selected for the international rosters.
I have players that should get picked, and i have seen this in multiple saves.
It seems like it´s only my players that get overlooked, because other players from nhl get selected. Both Western and Eastern.
I play the Sharks
