Hahaha, just looked. I had a quick game with the Oilers and Bruins in my stadium. Only one slight hitch with the name is the typo. "TinPanAlley" rather than Tinpin, but whatever.


Rosters looking great. Can't wait til the Leafs are done

That will be fixed in the next update, I must've been thinking of the Stevie Ray Vaughn song.

There's also arenas featuring shoutouts to molifox and snowdrift.

I made a few skaters for Montreal before getting distracted by other games, I chose a good time to do so because a storm of trades are coming soon. once it all settles down and transactions are made I'll resume.

Yes, exactly. It is "Tin Pan Alley". The song was written in reference to the place that my username comes from. It's also the name of my Production Company (Tin Pan Alley Pictures).

I noticed. Very cool of you to do that. Considering I've done nothing but support you guys.

Habs!

This one took longer than expected because of the insane amounts of transactions in the NHL right now.

The aforementioned skaters I had to make to replace players who were traded were rated and given appropriate gear.

Some skaters were also made prepping for future teams (Tavares for TOR, Tarasenko for STL)

[WWEDX2007]

I contacted Steve_OS (administrator here) to change the topic of the thread to reflect the change in year for the season of the rosters. He approved it.

Expect Nashville real soon.

[WWEDX2007]

We're goin' to Smashville.

The roster file's name changed to "Roster19", I'm not sure if the folder info is different or not. so you guys may need to re-copy.

It probably goes without saying but don't try to use Franchise or Season yet, because some teams have broken lines. it crashes. I actually got terrified at this thinking it was the dreaded created skater franchise crash that would deal a death blow to this project. but it turns out the game just cannot function without every team having full lines.

Thanks for the heads up and your continued effort. Though, I doubt I'd have bothered starting a season or franchise personally with the teams not done yet. Rosters in progress tend to be minefields of incomplete lines, etc, that don't play nice with anything but exhibition mode.
