Great job by everyone to make this happen! This is a great community, and I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who had a hand in making this possible, especially Manimal, Archi, and the rest of the crew (you know who you are)

Let's have some fun!!

Excuse my ignorance on this one, but is this our first roster update with full Custom Start Date integration?

It'd be exciting if it was; It's basically a full-fledged, true to life, roster update then!

[duff88]

Great job! To say I have been waiting for this update would be an understatement. Thank you very much for all the hard work.

[ryde93]

wow. fantastic job guys. you are heros.

With all of the missing Player History added as well, plus Records/League History/Date Joined Club (waiver issue fix) and more it's even more than just "rosters" that have been updated! Well done everyone! Congrats!

[Fakaza]

what a glorious day indeed , fantastic work everybody ( special thanks to archi and manimal )

Did you guys update the Canadain Juniors ? Cause the 2013 draft is horrid, and the 2012 one is pretty bad too, Jon Drouin and Anthony Duclair are top prospects, but in game they turn out to be AHLers if your lucky. Also have you guys added prospects to future drafts ? or is this solely a histories update ? If so, I glanced over and I noticed that Andreas Lindback's SEL history shows 0's as does Fowler, I know its a lower league, but Charles Guevremont Lac-St-Louis QMAAA actually plays for Magog in QMAAA if im correct. Also Anthony De Luca isn't in the game, hes a 2013 prospect. So I was just curious if the update is Canadian Juniors, cause I usually play that, however I must say, its nice to sees stats instead of a 5 year gap !!

Keep up the good work !

There are still some issues left to fix. The Player Info is what needs to be updated next. It will set waivers perfectly correct(in correlations with the 'Date joined club') It will also decide on rookie status and is used for records. Archi is looking into a tool to help us out because it will take a lot of time to do each player manually

We are not yet finished with Major Junior so don't expect QMAAA to be updated.
We have done work on the 2012 draft, not so much on the 2013 due to a lack of researchers for it
Drouin is -14 and Duclair -7 so they both have the possibility to become solid players
I see no problem with Lindbäck's history in the editor so I do not know what you are talking about
The next release will feature a complete overhaul on the WHL, which is already begun

[Loosie]

Sweet! I should have the TBL-Style Cards done for the OHL by the end of the weekend then, I only have Windsor left to do. Was there much change from the history testing db to 4.1? If not then there really won't be any extra changes left. Pretty much a final check to make sure I have as many pics in the current team as possible.

Does not show, could be an in game glitch.

As for Major Junior, I would be willing to assist with Updating the Q and QMAAA, Even Espoir too, seeing as how they are the feeder leagues to the Q. however I do not know which criteria you use for re-rating players.

Are -14 and -7 there old ratings ?

[Loosie]

The reason those are 0s is more than likely that the stats are just not available. I know when I was researching to OHL history Johan Mattsson's W-L-T record in the Swedish junior league were impossible to find.

o my bad just found it weird that he has a G.A.A and a SV% but no record.

Great stuff Manimal, Archi, and all of the researchers. We've got EHM 2011 here!

The only stats missing from that entry are the W-L-T stats. GAA and SV% are based upon the GP, Goals Agains and Saves stats (the Saves stats are not shown on that screen in game, but they are in the database).

If you know what the missing W-L-T stats are then please post them here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =45&t=9163

Outstanding work all you wonderful folks. Researchers, spreadsheet makers, utility makers (archi), inputters, and of course super manimal! Way to go.

There could be some created guys for the OHL. Not many, though

I would love to get some help with those leagues, starting with the QMJHL.
I will get back to you shortly on this

Now that I see the screenshot of Lindbäck above, shouldn't the 2008-09 season be vice versa?
I have also seen the same thing on other players that have changed team in the middle of a season.
It´s of course not important, just thought of it right now.
Last but not least, I just want to say thank you for a fantastic update.

Unfortunately we can't control what order the entries are listed.

I'm pretty sure that adding missing retired numbers to the extra_config-file is not that simple. This will rarely work. I have gotten it to work in the past though. My method is listed in some other thread. I'll look for it.

I have added dates to them. They will be retired on the same day and month as IRL but in 2011 or 2012. It works

I haven't checked them all, but after the first season #3 for Chicago was not retired.

I have investigated this and it is because of that the player(s) that get their numbers retired must be in the db
I found four numbers missing and I will of course fix this
