Get the NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2005 demo off WP (25mb)
Demo notes :
- The database used in the Beta Demo is not the final database. We are still updating some leagues and teams and the final database revision is ongoing.
- The roster cutoff point was at the european transfer deadline, at the end of January and the game starts with the 2004/05 season.
- At this point, we would like the data feedback to focus on factual errors, such as missing or wrong birth dates, birthplaces, nationalities, player positions and player histories.
- There are no real college players in the game database because of licensing issues with college athletes.
- Some nations/leagues have all their rosters scrambled because of the on-going license negotiations
Amongst other things, Sports Interactive has been working to create a new and improved look and feel to the 2005 edition, bringing it into line with the rest of the Sports Interactive range. The database now boasts an incredible 32,000 players and staff - all listed in incredible detail with over 50 attributes each.
Players will find a revamped scouting method at their disposal, which offers exceptional detail on potential acquisitions – including player comparisons, talent reports and points projections. Users can take advantage of the new 2D snapshot view, which reveals player positioning second-by-second to make the most of their tactical genius.
