Lidas Rosters 2008/09 - Version 1.0 out now!
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2008 6:49 pm
*** DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.0 NOW ***
A lot of people have been waiting, and here it finally is. LidasDB 1.0. After spending a couple of hours every day since March 1st, I have finally decided to release a first version. There are still a lot of more changes I want to implement, but I’ll save them for later, as the hockey season is starting now, making the urge to start new games stronger.
The database is based on the TBN Updated Unfaking database, released March 1st 2008. This is just a first version, not yet thoroughly tested on all leagues. I will keep updating it, and keep releasing new versions on a regular basis.
So, what has been done? I have chosen not to keep detailed lists documenting all changes; I decided to spend more time on the actual updating process instead of documentation. I can however give you an overview of everything that I have updated:
- NHL rosters, contracts, staff, player rights, and attributes.
- Added rights to players drafted in the NHL 2007 and 2008 Entry drafts + edited their attributes.
- Swedish Elitserien promotions/relegations, rosters, contracts, staff, attributes, and team info.
- Swedish Allsvenskan promotions/relegations, rosters, contracts, staff, attributes, and team info.
- Swedish Junior rosters, staff, and attributes.
- Continental Hockey League (RUS) promotions/relegations, rosters and head coaches.
- Czech Extraliga promotions/relegations, rosters and staff.
- Finnish SM-Liiga rosters, contracts, and staff.
- Danish Oddset League rosters and head coaches.
- Norwegian UPC-League promotions/relegations, rosters, and head coaches.
- AHL league structure, rosters and staff.
- ECHL league structure, rosters and staff.
- NCAA rosters and current/potential abilities.
- Increased the age of ALL players and staff in the database by two years. (44000+)
- All transfers posted at Eurohockey.net since March 1st 2007. (10000+)
- Most changes suggested at the TBN board since March 1st 2008.
- NHL, AHL, and ECHL team affiliates.
- North American league structures.
- Traded future NHL and OHL draft picks.
- Unfaked a lot of Swiss players.
- Set thousands of birthdates, which were still randomized in the TBN database.
- Thousands of new staff and players have been created, mostly by overwriting retired/invalid players.
- Many other leagues are partly updated, and will be completely updated in future versions.
Due to hard coded league structures, some teams are not in the same leagues as they are in real life. Two AHL teams (Lake Erie Monsters and Rockford Icehogs) have been placed in ECHL, and UHL has received a WHL team (Edmonton Oil Kings) and three dormant ECHL teams (Toledo Walleye, Colombia Inferno, and Pensacola Ice Pilots). The KHL teams Barys Astana, Khimik Voskerensk, and Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod have been placed in Vysshaya league. Dinamo Riga and Dinamo Minsk remain in their national leagues. Danish Oddset League Totempo HVIK (Hvidovre) remains in the Danish First Division.
