Guys I'm bambouzzled. In all my too many hours of playing this game, I had never seen this (Tony DeAngelo go figures haha):

1- Player gets treated for depression
2- I can give player a leave of absence (not IR, a LEAVE of absence)
3- Player requests move because he personally doesn't like me

I wonder if I trade for Bobby Brink if he'll want to stay haha

LOL I wanted to play nice so I put him on a leave of absence

And now I can put him on IR.

I wish I saw more of this with generated players - gives a lot of flavours to the game!

I just decided its time for me to start up a new file, downloaded (what I thought was) 7.7. Went into the editor, and was confused how Horvat was already on the islanders.

Nice work as always

I don't think I've ever seen this... four straight goals back-to-back-to-back-to-back off the opening faceoff. And funny enough, they were almost all the same. LD banks the puck off the boards to LW, who skates in. #1, LW shoots and scores. #2, LW centers to C who shoots and scores. #3, LW centers, C misses, RW picks it up, shoots and scores. #4, LW (on the second line now) centers to RW who shoots and scores. Their starter got pulled after the third goal and my own backup got pulled himself after allowing 3 goals on 4 shots.

Haven't picked this game up in a while due to time constraints, but thank goodness you guys are keeping it alive (in such a robust way it appears, wow)...nuNoob question - in all these updates, did USports become a playable league?
USports is playable, it’s accuratish and I haven’t really filled out the rosters and staff in a while. College leagues in general aren’t fully usable over a long time so I’d say treat it as a good starting point for your GM career, don’t expect to have a fun 10+ year sim in that or the NCAA.

Not that I expecting anything but do you know if it is on Riz’s radar at all to maybe look at the college mechanics in the game.

Specifically what would be glorious is the acknowledgment of the USHL and maybe the NAHL/NCDC and Canadian Jr A as intermediate steps (via drafts?) between youth/HS hockey and college. Some sort of mechanism that would cause NCAA schools to not commit to you until you are a certain CA maybe. That would prevent the current situation where future recruiting classes are all 17 and 18 year-olds when in fact that is very rare and most freshmen are 20 or 21.

Pie in the sky I know but always frustrating for us to spend all this time making these leagues realistic feeling for the first few years when we know they will eventually lose that. Granted, leagues that were never designed to be playable in the first place - so don’t take this as complaining.

So this is addressed in private beta with a new transfer rule for “minimum contract age”. The rest is definitely on his radar (the USHL draft is already partially coded in the game) the problem is just time for Riz to work on the game. That private beta has some major issues we discovered during testing, once fixed it should help.

Reposting for @KanerDev who I vouch for, looks like this post got deleted as he is a brand new user and it looks like spam:

Here it is!

I find that there is a missing feature in EHM that would allow us to keep track of the player's attributes throughout their careers.

So I decided to work on an application that lets us keep track of the progression (or regression) of players from year to year.

In the application, it is possible to make "snapshots" at different moments of your GM career to "save" the attributes of the players at this moment. You can then compare the current attributes of a player with the attributes he had at the time of your snapshots.

*Note that this application needs the EHMAssistant application, you cannot use the EHMTracker without the EHMAssistant for the moment.

*** USER GUIDE ***

First of all, it can look difficult at first because there are a few steps to do. However, once the steps are well understood, it becomes very simple.

--- Steps to do in the EHMAssistant ---
  1. Start your game and open the EHMAssistant and click on "Load Game".
  2. This step is very important, in the EHMAssistant app, go to the "Options" menu, under the PLAYERS tab, click on "Select All" to select all the fields to show in the PLAYERS tab. If you don't do that, the EHM Tracker won't work as it will be missing some fields.
  3. In the PLAYERS tab, click "Filter" and choose the settings you want. The players resulting from the filters are the ones that you will be able to track in the EHM Tracker.
  4. Once you are satisfied with the players returned by the filters (you can keep the filters empty to get all the players in the game), select the "CSV" button to export this list as a .csv file.
    You can then close the EHMAssistant, you won't need it for the next steps.
--- Steps to do in the EHM Tracker ---
  1. In the EHM Tracker, if you don't have a file imported in the application already, it will ask you to import one. Select the .csv file that you just exported from the EHMAssistant.
  2. Once the app has imported the file, you will see the list of players imported. You can filter by teams, leagues, and player names.
  3. In the Snapshots Management menu, you can add, edit or delete snapshots. A snapshot is a "picture" of the ratings of every player imported in the application at the moment you exported the .csv file from the EHMAssistant.
  4. In the players list from the main page, you can click on a player to see his current ratings and the ratings from a snapshot. On this page, you can select any snapshot that you have created and compare the ratings from that snapshot to the player's current ratings.
Here are some points that I would like to work on :
  • When filtering by teams, I would like to show the affiliated players (prospects and players on the farm teams). As of right now, I did not find any link between a team and a player (not currently on the team roster) that let me do that, but I will keep looking for it.
  • Improve the user interface (especially on the player details page). I might need some ideas for that part...UI isn't my biggest strength as you'll see
    ;)
  • Maybe I'd like to add player career stats on the player details page. But as this feature is already in the actual game, it is not a priority.
That's it! I hope you like it, have fun with it and feedback is very welcome.

I have never seen that, playing since EHM 05!

I have seen a player who I traded for, start to skip trainings (got emails about them being AWOL) and then eventually I got a message from the player saying something like 'I can't adjust to big city life and all the media attention and I won't be returning'

This was on EHM 07
