Changes/Fixes/Additions:

As noted last time, the main change in this version is the new player generation system. A new class of 14-year-olds will now appear every July 1 in each country that's currently (or recently) active in IIHF competitions. These players should progress upwards upwards through various levels of play and eventually provide a replacement pool for the pro leagues. At this stage, it's going to require some trial and error to get the starting ratings and development fine-tuned, so expect to see some odd results from these young players after a few seasons (from what I can see right now, the new players may be a little too weak, particularly in the major hockey countries, and there are some long-term issues with excessive development of physical attributes.) There may also be transaction issues related to getting these new players to move to playable teams, particularly from places other than the usual junior and college routes to the pros - the contract and rights systems still need work (and will be getting it.)

Now that that's done, we have the foundation in place to start dealing more aggressively with the roster management problems, since the pool of available players should finally have a realistic shape. Additionally, the work we've done in the last two updates on missing/new player generation will be applicable to generating fictional leagues.

Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to get the league-specific goals per game and other similar settings working this week. It'll be at the top of the priority list for the next update.


*** 0.9.34 (28 May 2013) ***

Bug fixes:

Player contentment will no longer remain at "happy" when sent to a farm team.
Good young players more likely to get key player/top prospect designation.
AI roster management should now make more logical decisions re: goalies.
Players in historical mode should no longer appear without names.
Nonplayable transactions should no longer cause most youth-aged players to retire after one season.
Nonplayable transactions to multinational junior leagues no longer restricted to teams of same nationality as player.
Players with missing positions in database should no longer receive odd multiple-position combinations.

Changes:

New player generation system completely replaced.
National player generation quality settings adjusted.
System for determining player college/junior choices adjusted.
French Ligue Magnus now playable.

Database Changes:

Players with NHL debuts in 1996-97 now included in historical database.
Leagues/countries with significant amounts of updated data: NHL, AHL, NCAA, OHL, KHL, France, UK.

almost every league that is in EHM. They are now making France and many more countries playable. Game comes out in September fully, they will have lots of time to tweak rosters and add even more leagues etc.

Can you edit rosters like in EHM?

If anyone wants the logo packs for the game to get real logos, here you go

Literally all of them.



Off the top of my head, if you choose 'Canada' as the country, it has leagues down to SJHL & AJHL (Saskatchewan & Alberta Junior Hockey League) and ofcourse it's got the bigger Canadian leagues like OHL, QMJHL, WHL.



As far as other countries, I know Sweden/Finland have like 5 leagues each. USA has NCCA Div 1, along with AHL + CHL + like 6 other leagues.



I literally think any hockey league that feeds into a 'professional' league, is in the game.

no, not at this moment. They will however add fantasy leagues etc. Should be fun.

yepp, even the Great North Midget League which has less than 5% of their players go on to the NHL is in the game.
