NHL 2k22 - x360

[rangers9911]

NHL2k22 is built off of my previous "Clean Slate" Roster file. This year, I will be including the AHL rosters as well. Well over 1,600 players have been created and rated across the NHL and AHL. Please see the updates below to see the current status of the file.

Current Status of roster:
1. v1 released (attached below; release notes can be found here)
2. December '21 Update (attached below; release notes can be found here)
3. Trade Deadline Update (attached below; release notes can be found here)
**ROSTER UPDATES FOR the 21-22 SEASON HAS CONCLUDED.**


Goals:
1. Update NHL rosters as necessary - Completed for 2021-22 Season
2. Review rosters/ratings as necessary or when time allows - NHL Complete, AHL: select players done.
3. Add as accurate as possible AHL players - DONE. AHL squads were updated for initial release. LTIR/IR players and some rookies that have played in the NHL this season, can be found there.
How do I get this on my xbox?

Re: NHL 2k22 - x360

Just some information on how the incorporating the AHL will be managed:

Minor League (ML)
- Currently using capfriendly and adding initial roster players.
- How many players per team? 12-13F, 7-8D, 2-3 goalies. I'll accommodate teams as necessary but I don't want to hit the roster glitch.

Criteria?
Players must be on entry-level, 2wy, and/or AHL contract and assigned to AHL for this coming season. Some teams have more prospects than others so, some teams may not have everyone listed on their AHL rosters. If that is the case, players may be added at a later date.

How Am I Working on Ratings?
See sources listed below. This file will more than likely not be for the "hardcore ratings" crowd. It will be playable and always editable.
a. What makes me say "playable and editable"
- All players were created and rated by overwriting players already in the game. Ratings may be +/-/ and/or = to what you feel may be appropriate. Feel free to edit this file to fit your desires.
- For initial release(s), some players may have a 20 in all categories as a placeholder ratings. I will definitely edit those that may have all 20's but, I may not have a second shot at re-rating some players given the sheer amount of time needed to go back through all players.
- No roster glitch on this file. That doesn't mean you don't need to be careful with roster moves or adding your own players (this has to do with having more than 25 players on a team) and has plagued older files.

b. Minor teams for WPG, VGK, SEA? Nope. Players will be created if they happen to fall on their NHL roster during this or a previous update for this file. If I create them, and you do a season mode, other teams will sign any player in the FA pool. E.g.: Cole Perfetti played on WPG minor team. He is in the file as an FA. I may examine putting WPG players on ATL but that's another time.

c. Will I Complete the Entire AHL? Minus those 3 squads listed above, that's my plan. AHL is currently complete as of 9/29/21. Once the season gets under way, we'll see how that changes what the AHL teams look like.

What sources do I use for my rosters:
- NHL/AHL official team rosters
- NHL Hut Builder
- capfriendly
- dobberprospects
- sportsforecaster
- various scouting resources
- dailyfaceoff/leftwinglock
- EA PC/Console roster updates. Shoutout to all of you still going strong on the PC side!
- Discord roster editing server discussions

Re: NHL 2k22 - x360

Well, I've completed adding the AHL squads per capfriendly. The minors, are obviously something I'll need to keep an eye on once the season rosters are settled. Some ratings are supped up (e.g.: mostly defensemen- not hardcore ratings friendly), so if I have a chance to revisit those I may. I'm pretty excited I was able to get the minors done up to this point. I hope you guys will enjoy it as well when this is released.

Re: NHL 2k22 - x360

As I have stated before, having the minors updated is huge because it means you can play deeper into Franchise mode when your old players retire or leave. This makes the mode worth investing into long-term.

Re: NHL 2k22 - x360

Absolutely, it is a nice thing to have. I'm glad to provide that added depth and that I had the time to do it (for now). I'm adding about 12-25 more anticipated AHLers and then I'm going to wrap up that side of player creation until after rosters are set.

Franchise is absolutely playable, I just don't know how much after a season
to be honest. Without a fully functional editor, there will be some obstacles with franchise just as an FYI to all.
a. Birthdates (you’ll see a lot of rookies, etc retire)
b. Contract types
C. Salaries

These are defined as "obstacles" as they cannot be edited with the editor. So, I know for certain that the salary cap has to be turned off - this sometimes makes the AI do some interesting player management.

It was possible to edit all this in 2K11. I don't know where my edits broke the 2K10 support sadly.


If anyone with programming skills would like to join up with me and snowdrift and fix the 2K10 support please say so...

Re: NHL 2k22 - x360

Been a long while since I've posted so, I figured I'd provide an update. I usually update the OP here as I complete large chunks of work. Currently, I have the NHL all up to date per eliteprospects. Based on initial looks, the AHL isn't in bad shape- just a wait and see for everything and still going strong. I'm excited for you guys to get your hands on this.

Re: NHL 2k22 - x360

Awesome man!! I Will release my PS3 rosters more basics only NHL, because i don't use The editor. I'll expect to release in a few weeks.
Your rosters seem The real and oficial update for this year. I can't wait for your release ;-)

Re: NHL 2k22 - x360

Working on stage 2 of the AHL rosters - figuring out who stays from my initial creation and who is going to get overwritten and made another player. I have finished Anaheim-Dallas minor squads. A lot of players to sort through and make judgement calls. So far, so good. Minors will keep me busy but I'm picking up prospects that have a chance of being an NHL player or at least a top prospect in their system.
