Hurst,
Did you include the "DEBUG_MODE" line? |

So does the "don't know" thing do anything other than fix the non-licensed names?

If there is, I haven't found it. Anyhow, I'm waiting for any 'other' additions we don't know about, not to mention another patch as I've had another crash - and a few cleanup issues. I'm also hoping a roster update comes down the pipe in the future. Plus, there's so much I still need to learn about the game. The good thing is, a dynasty is easy to write up/transfer into a forum message. Todd |

Time to say the official line ....

Any changes made to the game by such alterations are not officially part of the game as supplied and as such will not be supported by SI.

AFAIK, from the CM series, there is no way to do it without starting a new career. I think it causes it to load the data when the game starts for the first time, it can't change that info when a game has already been created. |

That pisses me off more then anything....It's a great little secret to have, but I wish I knew it before I started to enjoy my game......
As for the editing thing, I hope someone figures out some way to edit once the game has started...I'd like to put in my players pictures, as well as at least editing the arenas.....

I've got a simple question. Haven't started playing quite yet, but I will have some time this weekend. Been debating starting NHL:EHM or going back to my CM 03/04 career (Euro 2004 fever an all). The question is:
Is the game playable as is? Should I wait for another patch before I start? |

The game is playable, and appears to be more stable than any new game from SI I have ever played. And I have played them all. I would probably wait until the next patch before starting a serious game as it looks like it is due within the next week or two. |

the manual is pretty thorough as far as initial settings go. I am of course talking about the manual for the purchased download (which I think would be the one you are playing). I would certainly start with a team and league you are familiar with. I haven't gone into the manual deep enough to tell you anything else from the setup, forward.

Has anyone found a way to call up a unsigned prospect that you have drafted the rights to for the preseason??? Isn't this allowed in the NHL... I remember the Hurricanes having a few guys that they owned the rights to but that were unsigned in camp the last few years that returned to play juniors during the reg season or went back to play in their native country until they were ready...

Can anyone comment on how fun the draft and free agency is? Is the inability to trade picks once the draft starts a killer?
Right now, I'm strongly leaning towards not buying the game for a few reasons. I spent 10 hours with the demo and I like it a lot. However... 1. I'd like to see some of the known bugs fixed. Like college teams not getting players. Scoring issues in the minor leagues. Trade counteroffer problems (being rejected by the team that proposes the offer). And a few others. 2. Softwrap. I'm just not crazy about spending $40 for DL software. I think I'd rather have the disk and manual. But I don't want to spend $50+ (US) having it shipped from overseas. If I could order it from Amazon UK, I'd get the Football Manager/EHM combo pack. But they don't seem to ship to the US on that one. (shit) The one thing I haven't really experienced is the draft - and it may be the thing that pushes me over the edge. I always loved drafting in FOF and was wondering how good the implementation is. |

Blackie: In case it helps, GoGamer is a US company that occasionally picks up imports before their US release. They have the game. $6 shipping gets it to you in two days: GoGamer Link I've used them a couple of dozen times in the past four years or so and only had one problem with them in that time. Otherwise, they've been very good. |

Dola...
Am thinking of buying, but a couple of quick questions. I was wondering how the speed of the game is if you have all the leagues running. Anyone comment on the game's speed when running all the leagues on a fast computer system? Also, is it possible to start out as a manager in some low-level British team and gradually work your way over to manage in the NHL? Is the job market for managers well done? |

1) I believe Sab is running all leagues on enhanced and said sim speed is pretty good.
2) I really can't comment because I've played 1 season so far. But if the job market system is the same as CM, then yes, its very well done.

GB,
You are able to apply for any job that is avaliable in any league you are simming. I haven't had much to worry about since I started with the NHL, but the manual has a nice section on it. Quote:

As for the speed, someone posted on the SI board about having all league running and the sims taking 7 to 10 seconds per day and was wondering if it were normally that long!!
On my PII 300, it takes about 5 minutes to get through a day. |

I have a reasonably good system with half the leagues running in standard mode. One day takes about 10 seconds to sim. Not great, since it's enough to pull you out of the game, but still pretty darn quick considering everything that's going on.

Also want to make mention of a user-created pundit file available which will enable real media names appear in the game. It was available yesterday on the SI boards. I'm not sure if this is something that should be linked to.
I think you have to create a /media directory in the data directory for it to function. I downloaded the softwrap version (just 6 month trial) and didn't see a media directory there. Of course, again, a new career is required to see any effects. |

Okay, here's an odd question. I download the game fromteh link and run the install. It unzips the install and then I get my usual scanning file by Nortons on the data file. At that point I gdet a download manager prompt that seems to be downloading NIS2004.exe with multiple scans start coming up for file NIS2004.exe.xdb
This has happened with two different versions of the download, one from over the weekend and one from just last night. The download for that last file is at like 2Kps. I have never had this dowload manager come up before, even with recently downloaded installs like OOTP. Has anyone seen this? What screen does everyone else get after the install extracts itself? |

I don't know if there's a problem or not but...
I tried to get as many European prospects a trial during exhibition. I first scouted them to see if they were worthy and then offered them a trial. I managed to get 4 over but then the ability to offer a trial disappeared. I'm not sure why. Is 4 a maximum? I had 29 players on my roster. Also, for some strange reason, John Slaney kept getting called up even though I already had 8 defensemen on my roster. I simmed and found out somehow he was in the lineup even though I never called him up. I've since demoted him (had to place him on waivers first) and I haven't noticed this happening again. Strange... |

I have an AMD 1800+ and 786 RAM with all leagues on Enhanced. It takes anywhere between 2 seconds and 10 seconds to sim a day, depending on what the AI needs to do and how many games are being played that day.

Can someone please post links to the media files and config files, or to EHM fan sites? I can't find anything over at SIGames, and my search is not being helped by the fact that it takes about 20 seconds to load a page since they upgraded the board software. (And I have a broadband connection)

This is the best pundit file I've found...includes more WHL and Finnish media sources...
http://nwps.ws/~koli/EHM/pafiledb/pa...ion=file&id=20 Here is a link to the only commentary add-on I've found... http://www.geocities.com/smetana6666/download.html As for the config files, that breaks the EULA so there won't be a link but if you look on page 5 of this thread, all the information is there. ~~~~~ pundit.cfg goes into /data/media --> You'll have to create this directory if you have the downloaded version of the game. I just learned you DON'T have to start a new career to get the media effects. events_eng.cfg replaces the same file in /data/match events --> Make a backup of the original. extra_config.cfg in /data/database is the config file in question. ~~~~~ That's the most up to date information I have. |

I should also mention another "hidden" feature. Apparently you can trade during the draft although there are no AI-AI or AI-initiated trades.
Matt from Sega: "...select a team, offer a trade, and click "continue game". The draft doesn't advance, but you get an instant response - exactly as you would if you were in the draft scenario." |
