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

[ZaZooM]

NHL - history - players
Where are Gretzky, Lemieux and others?

[mgershon02]

There are some really weird PA numbers. A lot of the 2019 draft class is below 130, Jack Hughes and Kappo Kakko were 130. Also Cale Makar is 146. Might be worth looking into

[xECK29x]

xECK29x, where can I find version 4.5.1? steam page said rosters were updated 13 oct at 5.08pm but cap is still 91.5/70.2. or should I just use TBL 12.0.1 instead? (or change it manually)

are you planing to adjust (update) players CA/PA, according to players performances during the season?

also Lias Anderson from NYR listed as a LW for some reason, he's playing center.

and please rename Ukrainian Hockey League.
https://www.eliteprospects.com/league/ukraine

4.5 is the latest version, I pushed some minor things but not enough for me to say it's 4.5.1. The cap I purposely raised as most people end up raising it for long term sims anyway, that has always been the case with my DB. If there is enough people that want this changed back to real-life cap.

Yes updates will be made throughout the season, this is not a locked DB and will have rolling updates.

Will fix Anderson

That is the proper localized name for the UHL, I like to use the localized names instead of the English translated names as it makes the DB feel more authentic.

Believe me it's not. word "hockey" is pretty much universal across languages, with "c" in front it sound as weird as "National Chockey League".

PS: ver 4.5.1 was announced on the front page, that's why I thought it's going to appear in steam. but you're right, since with proper cap virtual GMs are making strange moves right out the gate maybe with 10mil cushion they will look more adequate.

[kev26]

do you think you will add at any point affiliation teams for CHL teams. I made some quick search but I don't find official affiliation team. But it can be really helpful when you play with junior team

Noted, and will change, I know I have had some back and forth on the proper name of this league in the past.

Canadian Junior League teams I assume? I just updated a bunch of OHL affiliations for the next update, if you have any others that need to be changed let me know.

Can you give an example? I'd only like to include official affiliations

Hey there ! Some little changes needed in the Q since the start of the season and my game I started last night :

Hendrix Lapierre, Théo Rochette and Alexis Shank of the Saguennéens de Chicoutimi should've be bump up, Lapierre should be at least 1st round potential in the draft (3-4 round in my save) and Rochette at least 2nd round (3-4 round in my game) Shank the goalie should be bette also. Currently in my game Saguenéens are dead last in their division and they're ranked 2nd in the CHL real life power rankings. Dman Louis Crevier has 6 goals in 15 games in real life, his Slapshot should be raised.

In Rimouski, Cedric Pare is goal per game player and a 2 point per game since the IRL season start, in my game 14 goals in the season... Maybe he should get a Wristshot raise to be more realistic.

Btw really good DB as always, I suscribed since the beginning.

Little issue I have managing the Senators, when I click the Transactions tab sometimes but not all the times, instead seeing my transactions the game freezes for a bit and I see what it looks like Worldwide (? Not sure) Staff transactions. The first name on the list is Pierre Dorion, but I don't recognize the other names as NHL players/staff...

[clamel]

Got some small changes from a smaller nation.
Emil Svartbro (Estonia) should have Sweden as 2nd Nat, plays in US for Las Vegas Thunderbirds
Fabian Hast, born in Landskrona, should have Estonia 2nd Nat (played in their National U20 team) and plays today for Tornsberg in Norway.
Perhaps creation of goalie Oliver Soovik (2000) , Sweden/Estonia. Today in El Paso Rhinos

[archibalduk]

It looks like Cape Breton Tradesmen are now called Sydney Mitsubishi Rush (or Sydney Rush) https://www.eliteprospects.com/team/714 ... -tradesmen

Noted, several of these players have potentials that should bring them into that range but we will do more work on the 2020 class later in the year. I did make some changes though.

Just noticed that there are no British teams in either European competition. Is there a fix?

[Hockeyiow86]

British teams are missing from both European competitions. Is there a fix for this?

[xECK29x]

Just noticed that there are no British teams in either European competition. Is there a fix?

Looks like Belfast and Cardiff had their licenses removed on accident, I patched it in, you should have seen an update to the Workshop item and they should appear in a new game.

[Hockeyiow86]

Is there a fix for crash on Friday 25th Jan?

[xECK29x]

s there a fix for crash on Friday 25th Jan?

Working on it, what leagues do you have selected? If you say "all of them" that is the issue.

[xECK29x]

v4.7 Uploaded

**KNOWN ISSUES**:
*** Potential Crash Situations ***: Late January and late June. If this happens please take screen shots of the crash and your selected leagues. Please also upload and share your save game with us here: https://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/v ... 59&t=20353
- HockeyEttan issues: We are going to keep this as a playable league structure but we HIGHLY recommend not using it if possible. There are a lot of known issues with it and it's going to require extensive time to fix.
- Pooling of prospects on Maine High School hockey clubs, who end up staying there until turning pro. This appears to be a game bug, really weird issue.
- US NTDP clubs signing Canadian players, this appears to be due to game logic considering Canada as a "domestic" nation for United States leagues. This appears to be a game limitation, still investigating.

General Updates:
- Updated some notable prospects for the 2020 and 2021 NHL Entry Drafts
- Belarus Extraliga & Extraliga B removed from human playability due to crashing. This was identified to be the possible cause of the crash in late January, removing while we work on a fix -- thanks Hockeyiow86 for the tip!!
- Prospect generator updated to v7.2 -- thanks IAmActuallyAnOtter!!
-- Changelist v6.2 to v 7.0: - Complete re-work of player height distribution - Complete re-work of acceleration, pace, balance and strength generation for prospects, now based solely on player height and role type. - More CA/PA generation changes for balancing - Changed nationality generation so that any top 9 or above NHL player can only generate from one of the top 16 world nations
-- Changelist v7.0 to v7.1: - Further balancing of CA/PA generation - Added in one low CA higher PA per year per position (LD, RD, LW, C, RW) prospect to improve picking outside the 1st round.
- Removed GM/Head Coach roles from staff on several human playable leagues due to a game bug causing crashes

Great work as always mate. One thing I noticed from the Sharks is Radim Simek is a righty, he's actually a lefty

Stumbled into Austin Bruins in NAHL and missed the goalie Brett Miller. Don't ask me why
You got him in Waterloo. He left some years ago and Austin do need a real goalie.
https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/2 ... ett-miller

Checking around NAHL I found Wilmer Skoog also in Waterloo, which he isn't. He is in Maryland Black Bears
https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/3 ... lmer-skoog

Goalie Zach Stejkal isn't in Youngstown but in Wilkes-Barre in NAHL
https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/4 ... h-stejskal

Goalie Arttu Routsalainen (2000) is not in Lincoln (USHL) but in NAHL too for either Bismarck Bobcats or later in Northeast Generals
https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/3 ... otsalainen

This will be lowend edits for sure. But then who knows.

[clamel]

Bigger concern is National Coach for Sweden isn't Rikard Grönborg anymore. He is in ZCS Lions only.
New GM/Coach is Johan Garpenlöv, the former Ass. Coach

[xECK29x]

Thanks, will implement. I don't think we have updated NAHL/USHL yet to be honest.
