Simple Request to NHL EA Developpers for NHL25
Hi,
This is a request from a league owner and developper.
A lot of leagues out there are evolving and represent a lot of members of the community.
As we try to provide better leagues that directly reflect on players interest in EA NHL and making the community comitted year after year in purchasing a new copy of the game to actively participate in these organized leagues, I have a developper request that could help a lot the owner managing leagues.
During a season a team will not face the same team twice on a game day. So, it makes it very easy to import the game data and match the league/players statistics with the game results even if games often are multi-parts because they are sometimes restarted for multiple reasons like disconnections of players or other kind of inconveniences...
In a tournament it's different. A team during the night may face the same opponent twice. The same applies when it's playoff time in a league. In playoff, the same 2 teams may face each other up to 7 times on a 4/7 series.
When the games are multi-parts for the reason explain earlier, it becomes hard to automate the game import. We have to rely on human intervention to make sure possible multiple entries for a single game belong together to represent all the data for that specific game.
A simple way to fix that and avoid relying on human interaction was if you could include the game code (pin) used to start the prive game in the game data. It would make it very easy to match the games with the same game code (pin) together to compile the game/players statistics as each tournament or playoff games use a different code. I think it would be very easy for you guys to add a simple fields that would contain the game code (pin) in the game data.
Please let me know if this is feasable and hope this request will find a comprehensive ear.
Thanks a lot
