@bobbyMaldini - He may need a player roll change from All-Around to something else, you are welcome to provide feedback here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iB5yCI91uPiiEAxrSlS1Vs_ZcQHujndLw4piEmP3WLg/edit?usp=sharing

is it normal that almost everyone is 20 offensive role, and 4-5 defencive role, like Jakes Evans who was 20 and 4 lol

You can create players, but you need an external editor. You can find editors at ehmtheblueline.com

does the ECHL need to be selected to send players down from NHL/AHL?
xECK29x  [author] Jul 12 @ 2:06pm 
Looks like the ECHL schedule has an issue, if you enabled the ECHL your game will crash at some point in year two, working on a fix. Sorry about that :(
xECK29x  [author] Jul 12 @ 2:06pm 
@Mike - One of those is for the fake (generated) players, the other is for coverage of real players. You may be getting that mixed up.

Also I have not heard or seen anything of a Marittimes Junior Hockey League (MJAHL) and QMJHL merger, the QMJHL did change their name from Quebec Major Junior Hockey League to Quebec Maritimes junior Hockey League last season.

it appears there are two generated facepacks for the prospect generator(both have similar 25-26 titles) and im not sure which one is the one that is the right one. im glad the leagues were cleaned up, is there still a maritimes league for instance now that the QMJHL merged with them?

When is the next update?
xECK29x  [author] Jul 10 @ 3:36am 
@nfumass66 - This was due to an issue with the Deutschland Cup, which we have since removed, while we figure out what the issue is. Unfortunately there is no way to fix that save.
nfumass66 Jul 9 @ 9:21pm 
anyone else get an error on nov 10th of year 1, its a fatal errror, v1.5.0b1669120 ingame_db_setup.cpp 2484. any work arounds?
xECK29x  [author] Jul 7 @ 3:14pm 
@Hunzber - the regular database, you do not need to make any changes if you want them included.
Hunzber Jul 6 @ 10:09pm 
A question. Which of the databases had the better prospects version? The regular or the no-prospects one?
xECK29x  [author] Jul 6 @ 2:45am 
@Hoang's Plan - leave that enabled, only disable starting wages if you care about NHL salary accuracy, you can probably disable that one if you are GMing in Europe and the NHL doesn't matter as much.
Hoang's Plan Jul 5 @ 8:21pm 
Should we also Disable Starting Financial Adjustments or leave that setting on?
xECK29x  [author] Jul 5 @ 5:18pm 
Database update with NHL transactions from the week. Please see change notes.
xECK29x  [author] Jul 5 @ 4:48pm 
@10 - good catch, will be fixed.

@Рудольф Шнапс - thanks for the report, will update.
boty Jul 5 @ 3:01pm 
Will be some patches coming, found some issues. Don't get too attached to your saves yet.

@xECK29x patches coming in the following days or more mid late july? Thanks for all the hard work
Рудольф Шнапс Jul 5 @ 4:19am 
Kunlun RS will play on SKA Arena next season.
SKA will play on LD St.Petersburg, then returns on SKA Arena.

In the Czech Maxa League there are only 13 league matches out of 52
xECK29x  [author] Jul 4 @ 3:56am 
@teemumenna - Usually that happens when you select too many leagues. I list a recommended settings in the description and have a screenshot of the options to use at start. IF you want you can friend request/DM me or reach me on Discord and I can take a look.
teemumenna Jul 3 @ 10:58pm 
I'm trying to build a career from the lowest leagues, tried with Switzerland and Czech. Game crashes after first season around mid-July. I see comments about using recommended settings but I can't find anything related to recommended settings?

Not sure if this has been noted before, but was scrolling through the WHL drafts, and it looks like last years prospect rights aren't held by their teams. Not sure if this is the case for all of the CHL or if it's something that can't be fixed, but figured I'd let you know just in case.
xECK29x  [author] Jul 1 @ 7:06pm 
There is also zero reason to enable all leagues, its only going to be unbelievably slow sim to sim, the leagues sim just fine and players and staff still grow without them selected.
lubosrachov Jul 1 @ 6:58pm 
@SmellyWrestlingGeek Yeah I know man, without this issue EHM (with this mod) could be on Mt. Rushmore of sports management games alongside with OOTP, Football Manager and Total Extreme Wrestling.
SmellyWrestlingGeek Jul 1 @ 6:36pm 
@lubosrachov Everyone knows, but you can either except the game's limitations or move on.
lubosrachov Jul 1 @ 6:31pm 
@Seanie, Beneficiary of Crota Look, I didn´t mean any disrespect to the modders, they´re doing wonderful job. I only want to point out the sadness of not being able to use this mod to the full extent.
xECK29x  [author] Jul 1 @ 3:22pm 
@joel_wennberg - seems like you aren't updated, try unsub/resub.
xECK29x  [author] Jul 1 @ 3:22pm

joel_wennberg Jul 1 @ 2:46pm 
Great work but one thing Kreider is still a new york rangers player
Aaron (RageKillia) Jul 1 @ 11:35am 
@Seanie, Beneficiary of Crota SI doesn't support this game any longer
@lubosrachov play the game without any custom databases then or takeit up with Sports Interactive.
xECK29x  [author] Jul 1 @ 9:51am 
Free Agent Frenzy release posted! please see change notes, entire re-write of the database!

@lubosrachov - please use the recommended settings, I state do not select more then 20 leagues, leagues do not need to be selected in the game!
lubosrachov Jun 29 @ 7:17am 
Game is unplayable if you can´t select all leagues without crashing.
Duck569 Jun 28 @ 7:15pm 
@jp_arel You subscribe to it. But make sure like he says in the description you opted into the beta branch of the EHM game.
Duck569 Jun 28 @ 7:11pm 
@joel_wennberg If he's feeling really nice he will sometimes release a after draft update with the pending FA so you can do what you wish, and then once everything is said and done after most of the big FA have signed he will do another and then another before the season starts.
jp_arel Jun 24 @ 6:17am 
how do I download it ? thanks
SmellyWrestlingGeek Jun 22 @ 9:25pm 
@joel_wennberg If I were a betting man, I'd say closer to the beginning of the regular season.
joel_wennberg Jun 22 @ 2:08am 
when do you release 25-26 update?
xECK29x  [author] May 19 @ 12:19pm 
@nearrevan and @WM_darkhelmet - its going to be best to friend request and DM me directly for help or join the EHM Community discord and reach me there or post into the ehm-help channel.
nearrevan May 15 @ 9:22pm 
I'm very new to this game, about 30 hours, and I'm a Mac user (bought a windows laptop just for this game). I'm grateful for this update coz I love realism in my sports sims, however I'm running into some issues and wondered if you could help.

- After exiting fantasy draft, I receive the message "SHORT_DATE::SHORT_DATE() day of month passed is not valid"
- I saw your note to remove some things from the config if doing fantasy, but I can't find it, usually I manual download rather than Steam add on so not sure how I would do this.
- Carried on playing, saved a lot, when I tried to load the game the next day, the game crashed.
- According to the save details, zero mins had been played, no leagues were loaded, and it had last been saved in 1970 lmao. So the whole game file was corrupted and I had to delete

Really just wanna play this game, I have a few questions about the game in general too if anyone can help with that too I'd appreciate it. Go Kings
AWM_darkhelmet May 1 @ 9:51pm 
I have tried a few different ways to make it work on the beta, any time I click continue it gets stuck saying the date and evening, any ideas?
naterego93 Apr 18 @ 8:05am 
Discord is pretty much the only place for the most up to date info on EHM
xECK29x  [author] Apr 18 @ 4:20am 
@wingsfan710 - Probably best ti ask those questions on the EHM Community Discord, its a great place for new players and you can ask all the questions you want.
wingsfan710 Apr 13 @ 12:55pm 
So I gave a couple of questions. First of all where can I get the facepack that goes with this roster (database)?

And secondly, if I turn newgens off if I play without generated future prospects I will have players for a few drafts I suppose, but what when all the players in the database are older than the age limit?

Sorry if I ask stupid questions, I downloaded the game for the first time... I'm learning how to play...

P.S. One more question, when I try and sign a free agent player (for example Pavelski or Giordano) when I select one option (for example regular player) before offering that option gets stuck and I can not change it. So if somebody says that they don't want to negotiate being promised to be a regular player, I can not change it and for example offer a core player or something... So is it a bug or is there a workaround?

Sorry for asking lots of questions I just want to get to the game and enjoy as soon as possible. Thanks for replying in advance.
