EHM The Blue Line

This is a 2015/16 roster update for Eastside Hockey Manager 1 (formerly known as EHM Early Access). This is the third version to be released this season. This is a START OF SEASON roster which means that roster transactions have been frozen as of 6 October 2015. This season we are trialling using a start of season roster update as there seems to be a high demand for this and it will allow us to get more work done on the database rather than simply continuing to update the same teams rosters throughout the season.

When importing the database into EHM 1, please make sure that you tick the "Recalculate Runtime Data" box to ensure that player stats are correctly recalculated. The Importing function moves some teams to other leagues as part of the importing process and so the runtime data needs to be recalculated at the same time.



PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS VERSION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EHM 2007. Unfortunately we do not have the resources to support both versions of EHM. Although this database is in EHM 2007 format, it can only be used with EHM: Early Access (by using the Import Database function). Instructions on how to install and import the database into EHM: Early Access can be found in the Readme.pdf included in the download below.

• Competition histories updated for all playable leagues (except for certain World Championship histories owing to limitations with the EHM 2007 database). Note that the NLA, NLB and some World Championships histories require further work owing to legacy EHM 2007 database issues.

There are a couple of known data issues which we are still working on:

1. Competition history for the World Championships need some further work as Div 1A/1B and 2A/2B histories are currently all rolled into 1A and 2A histories. This is something that has carried over from EHM 2007 where the A/B histories were rolled into the A histories. This will take a little time to split up.

2. We have removed the old NLA/NLB competition histories as they were incorrect in the database. It seems this was an issue with the default EHM 2007 rosters which shipped with EHM 2007. We are working back though the histories to correct these and it is an ongoing project.

3. Some retired numbers are not appearing in game. We think we know the cause and hope to fix this for version 8.2.

4. We have not yet added player awards history since 2011/12. This previously caused an issue with the Pre-Game Editor but I think I've fixed this now. I don't want to rush these into the released DB yet because I want to test them out first.

New version uploaded with the Champions Hockey League added to the import_config.cfg file (see download link in the first post). Re-import this database via EHM for the CHL to appear in game.

No other changes have been made.
