  1. TSN should be just as up to date as all other sites. The main reason for my suggestion is that you'll never have to worry about spelling/transposition errors for names and #'s because it's a simple cut and paste (unless you have to add additional players manually of course) and it should save a lot time as well. I do have access to a crawler (for the time being) and I ran a test using TSN. This forum won't let me upload the results to show you but the data extracted quite nicely. For example:

    Name No SH

    T.Rask, G 40 L

    D.Krejci, C 46 R

    With a little formatting I turned the above into:

    Name NO SH POS

    T Rask 40 L G

    D Krejci 46 R C

    It would probably take me 1-2 hours to get all the player names and #'s into the editor.

    To be honest, I consider myself an occasional player (once every week or two) but I REALLY like the concept of the updated rosters and the modifications you have made. The game is great, I only play as Florida and have only played it a few times (vs Carolina and Tampa Bay I think). Sorry, I know you put a lot of effort into ratings etc but I don't pay much attention to them.

    What are your thoughts on doing a roster update for the start of next season?

  2. Wow, clearly a lot goes into this but obviously worth it cause it's a classic.

    So now that I know the resources you're using to update the rosters, I may have an idea for your next update that could save time.

    TSN.ca's team/roster page is set up very nicely where it has the player name, jersey #, weight and stick hand all on 1 page so you don't have to click on the player to see further details. A web crawling program can be set up to scan each of the teams and export the rosters to excel. From there, the names and #'s can be formatted accordingly and then copied and pasted into the editor as I noticed the cut/paste works within it.

    Just an idea that came to mind unless you're comfortable with your current approach.

  3. my bad, not Gibson but Andersen.

    To be completely honest, this didn't take much of my time. As for the project, i'm not looking for any recognition but i'd be happy to help where I can (time permitting of course). I can't imagine how many hours you have put into this thing.

    I will let you know if anything comes to mind

  4. the editor is a really neat tool. Here is what I found:

  5. that's quite the decision you made but yeah, obviously easier to set up the 1 playoff tree.

    it's a lot of fun on the phone (great for a slow day at the office).

    I don't think there is anything I would replace but to throw out some ideas...

    1) Create a 2nd random playoff tree (for the non-playoff/bad teams) and just sub out one team 12 times so you can access a playoff mode with any team

    2) A quick glance at the NHL IR list to make sure studs are in the game? (Letang, Weber, E.Kane, E.Johnson, Franzen and of course Bjugstad : ) lol

    Previously you mentioned people complain about the player possession/icons. I don't think it's an essential feature of the game but just curious to hear why you removed it?

  6. makes sense now as Bjugstad was on the IR at the end of the season.

    No need to apologize and I completely understandable that expanding rosters is not a priority. Wish I could help out but I have no knowledge on this stuff.

    replace silly thing with awesome thing... it's really neat to play this game with current rosters.

    I also noticed that I can't access the cup tournament or begin playoffs modes (the game freezes when I try to enter these modes). I primarily use the game on an android phone so is this most likely an issue with emulator I am using?
