So what stats should I change? Please be more specific than just "This player is too good/bad"

Staff fixed.
This some, what me and my friend think...

Too good players in this roster(2.0): (only little chances, 1-3 rate):
Petri Kokko (positioning, passing, slapshot, wristshot, checking)

Ari Ahonen (maybe every technical -1)
Jussi Timonen (passing, off the puck)

-------------------------------------

Some transfers:
Teemu Elomo --> Herning
Ilkka Vaarasuo --> Jukurit
Jari-Pekka Pajula --> available
Vladimir Ryzhkov --> available
Boris Gazur --> K-Laser

Lukko has changed arena name from DNA Areena to Äijänsuo-Areena.


Farm teams:
JYP --> D-team
Ilves --> LeKi
Tappara --> LeKi
Pelicans --> HeKi
Kärpät --> Hokki
SaiPa --> Jukurit
HPK --> SaPKo
TPS --> TuTo
Lukko --> FPS
I worked on the players, but since some of them have randomized values, I dont know what values you have seen on the players, and thus I cannot know what value to set. Maybe you could check the values in the editor instead.

As for the farm teams - are they really farm teams, or teams that they usually loan their teams to? There are similar relationships in Sweden too, but I didnt set them as farms.

Frank Doyle => Charlotte Checkers (seen today on eliteprospects)
Todd Warriner=> Free Agent
Stephane Julien is missing (was only loaned to RB Salzburg last year)
Kevin Hecquefeuille should be C
Martin Bartek (RW) is missing
Dusan Frosch should be RW/LW
Daniel Rudslätt should be LW/C
Gerrit Fauser should be LW/C
Goalie Maximilian Englbrecht is missing (loaned to Duisburg)
Christopher Mauch is not under contract anymore

Wages are perhaps not very accurate. E. g. Weibel should be much higher (about 120.000), Rudslätt should be lower (about 95.000).

Some other DEL stuff i noticed:
Mannheim:
Colin Beardsmore has German Citizenship, Chris Schmidt is missing, Dan McGillis is Free Agent, Justin Papineau is missing
DEL havent been properly researched yet, and thus the rosters aren't complete. I've added your changes though, but I havent created Englebrecht, but I will when DEL has been researched.

As for wages, I have wages for all leagues except for NHL randomized (based on reputation), so there is nothing I can do there unless you want me to change their abilites.

I know, they are not playable in this game, but perhaps you wanna include these changes nonetheless.

Players completely missing:
G Dennis Korff (http://www.hannover-indians.de/index.ph ... &Itemid=67)
D Nick Martens (http://www.hannover-indians.de/index.ph ... &Itemid=67)

D Jan Philipp Priebsch (http://www.hannover-indians.de/index.ph ... &Itemid=67)
F Bryan Phillips (http://www.hannover-indians.de/index.ph ... &Itemid=67)


Players already in the database but missing for Hannover:
G Benjamin Voigt (Free Agent)
LW Daniel Huhn (EV Landsberg 2000, he also has German nationality)
RW Torben Saggau (Hamburg Freezers)
LW Josh Olson (Hannover Scorpions, was probably placed to the wrong team)
C/RW Kyle Doyle (Free Agent)

Players who have left Hannover:
G Lukas Smolka (probably Free Agent)
LD/RD Trevor Wright (Don`t even know who he is :D )
LW Adam Dewan (probably retired, I read that he will be a part-time coach for a canadian junior team)
C Daniel Del Monte (has been released a few days ago)
RW/C Devin Rask (probably retired)

Additional information:
G Thomas Ower belongs to Frankfurt Lions (DEL), but has been loan to Hannover to gain playing experience ("Förderlizenz")
RW Torben Saggau belongs to Hannover but has a "Förderlizenz" for Hamburg Freezers (DEL) to get playing time at a higher level

I would love to add information for the missing players in order to help out with the attributes, but I only get to see the team play a few times a year, so I wouldn't be anywhere near accurate.

Thanks for the great updates, Lidas!
I dont want to add just a few players to a single team, but if all of 2.Bundesliga gets researched, I'll add the players. Fixed your transfers though :thup:

You just got unlucky with the PA of the prospects. The top prospects have the potential (-9) to be stars, but in a worst-case scenario, they can become career third-liners as well. I would probably rate Taylor Hall's determination and work rate slightly higher though... that guy's got s stellar work ethic already.
Thats fair enough, but perhaps a slight tweaking of the their CA's and a few stats like skating. Seguin is an excellent skater same with Hall, I find a lot of the top picks are not very good compared to the regens that come up. In reality a top pick in the NHL usually gets 50-60 points but most end up 4th liners in EHM once they get drafted.

Anyways that is the only thing I found a bit off about the update everything else looks great Lidas, thanks again for doing this makes us all excited to play more.

djskek wanted to take over after timmi611, but he wants to update the database directly, whereas Id like him to send me excel sheets. If he doesnt change his mind, I need to look for another researcher.

I think that these teams are really farm teams:(I got a few team out)

Ilves --> LeKi
Tappara --> LeKi
Pelicans --> HeKi
Kärpät --> Hokki

Lukko --> FPS

Some are, some are not. I will probably take a closer look while researching them. Just keep Finnish Mestis and Suomi Division suggestions coming if you have some. :idea:

Oh, and also Kim Nabb (Lukko Sm-League) needs slight buff, maybe around 70 CA, and add +1 to some workhorse attris. like checking, workrate, strength.

Samuli Kivimäki (Lukko) needs to be buffed to around 70 CA too and PA should also be higher (probably around 100 or -5 should do it) as he has some future potential in him. He has pretty bad technical attris atm so some need to be buffed. For example +3 Flair, +1 Passing, +3 Slapshot. +2 Stickhandling, +1 Wristshot, Deking +1.

Kurtis McLean (Lukko) is one of the top players in SM-League atm so he needs to be better. Unfortunately most of his attris are random so ill make something out of my head: Stickhandling 11, Passing 13, Slapshot 10, Wristshot 12, Movement 11, Pace 12, Acceleration 11, Vision 13, Pass Tend 12, Faceoffs 13, Hitting 8, Checking 12, Agility 11, Dirtyness 7. Current Ability 105, Potential 110.

Petri Vehanen (Lukko) buff CA to atleast 115 and PA to 122, raise one-on-ones, rebounds and glove by +1.

Eero Kilpeläinen (Ässät) also needs little buff. He is good goalie in bad team. CA 103, PA 114. Add +2 to Rebounds and Glove.

Suggestions were made looking at 2.0 Database.

Cogliano has been moved to the wing by the organization as well (due to the faceoff issues :-) ) he should be LW/C. He should also shoot more than pass, The guy always tries to score (2 seasons at 18 goals means he can do it as well).

You are right, these rosters are for everyone, that is why everyone has a vested interest. The problem is, even if you believe that this player is the real deal, the rest of us will need some actual proof other than the self-serving opinion of the scout that drafted him. The problem here is that the ranking of a player is a matter of opinion, since lidas is trying to build the database for everyone, he keeps the ratings in line with our collective opinions. Obviously some of us think better of some players than others. However, we are all hesitant to give a 7th round pick such a large boost (the -15 potential means he could be the next Nik Lidstrom), because if any other team thought he could be the next Nik Lidstrom, he would have been picked long before the 7th round.
Not to continue on with an argument, but did you ever think Almqvist wasn't as highly scouted as the other swedish players coming out of the draft. One of the reasons Almqvist fell in the draft was his size, he was 5'10" 160lbs on draft day. Players slip all the time for one or two reasons and that is one of the reasons why he could have been dropped to the 7th round rather than the 3rd or 4th.

He has 29 points in 13 games in Sweden's top junior league. That leads the league. 8-)

I took a look at the Oilers in the DB now that I have time, here's some observations

-Taylor Chorney should be faster.
-Comrie is playing LW/C this year
-Eberle should have better abilities all around, He would have stuck in the NHL this year in the Oil didn't already have too many forwards. in Regina this year, he has 2 points per game.
-Brule could also get a small boost in his offensive attributes, he has 10 points in 16 games (5G, 5A)
-I don't know if there is a stat for that, but Grebeshkov has a really bad habit of giving the puck to the opposite team (somone already asked to have his defensive abilities lowered I believe).
-Jacques should have a little better hitting, its pretty much what he does :-), higher injury proneness though, every time he gets called up he injures something.
-Steve Macintyre was claimed by the Panthers on Waivers
-Reddox's shooting and passing attributes should be lower, he is truely useless for anything but banging bodies.
-Nilsson's teamwork, work rate, consistancy, and positioning should be less.
-O'Sullivan is RW/LW/C this year, He shoots a lot as well (56 so far), I'm not sure how the pass shoot tendancy works in the editor, but he should be closer to the shoot end.
-Penner is an interesting problem. He's in the top 5 in scoring this year. But in the past has been somewhat streaky. If you think its right to increase some attributes now, or wait until later in the season and see if he keeps this up. Personnally I'm ready to say to Burke: "So 4.5 million, way to much for that player eh." Always said they would be overpaying for him for the first couple years. Hope he keeps up this pace, it would be great for the Oil to finally have that type of player again.
-Pisani's injury proneness should be up, they guy can't play a week without injuring himself.
-Stortini should have higher bravery, he led the league in fighting majors last year


Hope this helps, If you all don't agree with my ideas here, its ok, I realize I may have my Homer Glasses on.

I do think that Shawn Matthias is a bit better than he comes out in this ;)

I find the same thing. The regen drafts are filled with talent to the point that I can pick up great players regularly at the end of the draft and 2nd round, and NHLers with at least half my picks. The regen drafts are probably too good, but I doubt there's much we can do about that. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing us rate junior players a bit better, I've found that players don't tend to turn out unless their starting stats are decent.

I don't think I've ever seen Taylor Hall score more than 60 points in any career I've played since EHM07 came out.

-Taylor Chorney should be faster.
-Comrie is playing LW/C this year
-Eberle should have better abilities all around, He would have stuck in the NHL this year in the Oil didn't already have too many forwards. in Regina this year, he has 2 points per game.
-Brule could also get a small boost in his offensive attributes, he has 10 points in 16 games (5G, 5A)
-I don't know if there is a stat for that, but Grebeshkov has a really bad habit of giving the puck to the opposite team (somone already asked to have his defensive abilities lowered I believe).
-Jacques should have a little better hitting, its pretty much what he does :-), higher injury proneness though, every time he gets called up he injures something.
-Steve Macintyre was claimed by the Panthers on Waivers
-Reddox's shooting and passing attributes should be lower, he is truely useless for anything but banging bodies.
-Nilsson's teamwork, work rate, consistancy, and positioning should be less.
-O'Sullivan is RW/LW/C this year, He shoots a lot as well (56 so far), I'm not sure how the pass shoot tendancy works in the editor, but he should be closer to the shoot end.
-Penner is an interesting problem. He's in the top 5 in scoring this year. But in the past has been somewhat streaky. If you think its right to increase some attributes now, or wait until later in the season and see if he keeps this up. Personnally I'm ready to say to Burke: "So 4.5 million, way to much for that player eh." Always said they would be overpaying for him for the first couple years. Hope he keeps up this pace, it would be great for the Oil to finally have that type of player again.
-Pisani's injury proneness should be up, they guy can't play a week without injuring himself.
-Stortini should have higher bravery, he led the league in fighting majors last year


Hope this helps, If you all don't agree with my ideas here, its ok, I realize I may have my Homer Glasses on.
I agree with all of your suggestions.
-Nilsson should have a consistency rating of 5-7, he got the potential to be a 1st liner but can never come out of the the habit of three brutal periods for each great one.
-Penner should be stronger than in the database no-matter of what season you base the stats on. His effort and stats have been questioned earlier, but he always had top strength.
-Deslauriers hasn't been tested that much but he really is a hard worker, great teamplayer and consistent in all his apperences. He has always worked hard dispite his lack of play time for two seasons and been able to come ready for each game. Therefore he have justified a boost in all connected mental stats like prof. amb. etc. His stickhandling could be one point lower just like his passing, he sometimes really mess things up when handling the puck after a save. His pace should also be under 10.
-Khabibulin should have a mental profile to reflect his morphine-calm apperence. He's the calmest goaltender I ever seen.
-Ethan Moreau is way overrated in his technical attributes. He is hard working and ambitious but his lack of skill makes him a 3-4:th liner.
-Staios should be slower, his age has got to him and he's more of a pylon than a racingcar (7-9). He is undersized and suffers from being a bit low in the strength area nowaday(11-12). His age hasn't touched his work ethic so he should be one of the hardest working (teamwork 18-19) players in the league. He has to be one of the most frequent shootblockers leaguewide and throws himself on the ground, his head to the shoot, if it prevents his goal but sometimes he does this too much (bravery 18-19, decisions 7-8).

Well, that is all I got for the moment!
