Front Office

Post by **Lidas** » Tue Oct 21, 2008 3:25 am

Just curious - what setting does everyone use for their front office?

I choose injuries, team leaders - points, league leaders - points, schedule, league standings, and team stats.

Feel free to show a screenshot

I usually have a similar setup to the one you have Lidas. Although I sometimes alternate between some of the player stats - Pts, +/- (iirc).

The Front Office was a great addition in EHM 2007. The only gripe I have with it is that it doesn't let you read your news items. Some sort of section on the page to do this would have been ace.

I have to say, this is more a General EHM Chat thing than Game Knowledge, but... meh.

Here's my Front Office:

I like to keep the default apart from replacing News with League Leaders - Points, and the one below it with Team Leaders - Points.

I pretty much leave the default settings except that I replace the one that shows the team's highest paid players with the league's leading scorers. I leave everything alone on the right hand side of the front office. In the current challenge where we are controlling Saint John, I've replaced Team Finances with my team's leading scorers. I figure I don't need to worry about finances with a junior team.

I usually replace the team highest paid with team leaders - points, and team finances with league leader - points.

And in my 'career' saved game in the offseason if I feel like making a change I change one of those with 'Available Jobs'

Heh. Bush looks angry.

I tend to go for:
Schedule - Standings
League Points - League GAA
Team Goals - Team Assists.

And what DB are you using there Lazion?

What? I have the 79/80 rosters, I have the 91/92 rosters but I haven't heard about the 98/99 rosters, where can I get my hands on this?

Lazion, drop your balance to -$10,000,000,000,000 (yes, that's actually ten trillion) before you claim to be George Bush.

Anyway, here's my front office. It pretty much stays this way no matter where I'm managing:

Nowhere.. yet.
I like to say that maybe I release 98/99 rosters in ten year timeline.

Why is that?

There is so much work. Like I have to re-create all 99-> drafted players - about 1500 players.
Tons of researching - Affiliations and moves, jersey colours, Stadiums and moves, players (thousands of)
Player histories, infos and stuffs like that.
It is so hard to find info for that season..
I also have to do many test sims to check that everything is ok.. and so and so on
I have worked with that irregularly for six months.. I think.

I tend to switch in injuries and league point leaders, as I find them the most useful.
