BvH Roster for NHL09 Version 17

Here is watis' BvH Roster Version 17 for NHL 09:

- all trades are done as of 03.06.2009 so each European team has 2009/10 rosters
- updated contract lengths for European teams players
- updated a lot of players' ratings for all leagues
- updated jersey numbers and captaincies for all leagues
- updated European teams names
- updated NHL, AHL and European teams lines
- created more new players overwritting wrong and old ones

It's a preliminary roster of course because a lot of teams didn't update their official sites but I think it's a good beginning. Some teams have only 1 goaltender, some teams have only 16-17 active players but I'll upload the next version with new transactions soon! I left Duisburg die Fuchse, HC Znojemsti Orli, Khimik Voskresensk because I have to discuss with watis what to do with these teams (maybe we will overwrite them, we'll see).

Here is the list of not fully completed teams:

SEL:
Rogle BK - official site didn't updated
MODO Hockey - 17 active forwards
Timra IK - 15 active forwards

SM-Liiga:
Blues Espoo
JYP Jyvaskyla
Karpat Oulu
Pelicans Lahti - official sites didn't updated
TPS Turku - missed 1st goaltender

DEL:
Augsburg Panther
DEG Metro Stars - official sites didn't updated - missed 1 forward
Frankfurt Lions
EV Duisburg die Fuchse - official sites didn't updated
Hamburg Freezers - missed 2 forwards and 3 defensemen
Hannover Scorpions - official site didn't updated - missed 1st goaltender
Iserlohn Roosters - missed 2 defensemen and 2 forwards
Krefeld Pinguine
Adler Mannheim
Nurnberg Sinupret Ice Tigers - official sites didn't updated - missed one forward
Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg - official site didn't updated

Czech Extraliga:
HC GEUS OKNA Kladno
HC Chemopetrol Litvinov
HC Slavia Prague
HC Vitkovice Steel
PSG Zlin - official sites didn't updated
HC Znojemsti Orli - jersey # didn't updated

KHL:
only few teams have updated their official sites but I done all transactions because I have a lot of sources!

Custom teams:
HC Slovan Bratislava - official site didn't updated
HK Aquacity SKP Poprad - official site didn't updated

and of course I don't know now about real lines and captainices but hope you will like it!

I put the most of AHL players who are on a try-out basis to their teams additional rosters because I reached the maximum of allowed regular players.
Also I didn't scratch few AHL players who are playing in NHL now because they will return to the AHL soon.

You can download real torfs, logos and ices on http://www.hockeydownloads.com/ for all KHL teams compatible with this roster including my favourite Dinamo Riga of course!

Stay toon for the next update! Good luck!

This may have been covered in an earlier post, but I didn't see it. My problem is that after downloading and following the directions as they are written, my game will no longer start. I've narrowed down the problem to the new db.viv file. NHL 09 will not even load, it just spits me back out with an error message. If I put the original db.viv file back in it's spot, the game loads again. What have I done wrong or what else do I need to do to install the roster update? Thanks for you help!

no problems for me.

did you put it in the correct folder?

Zipdryve · 06-18-2009, 04:37 PM

Yes, I put everything where it was supposed to go. I'm a bit frustrated that it will not work for me.

DSgamby · 06-18-2009, 04:49 PM

post pic of every step you did to install the rosters

Zipdryve · 06-18-2009, 05:26 PM

This is what I did:

How to install it:

1. Copy db.viv to C:\Program Files\EA Sports\NHL09\db XP

2. copy exhibition.exh and exhibition.exha.tdb to My Documents\NHL09

3. copy BHImport08.bat to C:\Program Files\EA Sports\NHL09 XP

4. copy genbhnhl, gfxpak and ImpBIG to your NHL09 main folder

5. run BHImport08.bat

DSgamby · 06-18-2009, 05:36 PM

please take pics of the locations of the files and post those pics

Never mind, I went through and reinstalled the game, then followed the instructions more carefully. I made sure to do it in the exact order the instructions said (which I didn't do the first time) & now everything is working. Thanks anyway for trying to help me. I really appreciate it! To ZOSiS, I send a heartful thank you for the hard work you have put into bringing us these updates! You rock!

I currently have a fresh copy of nhl09 and I ran into several problem when trying to update this can anyone help? i'm currently running vista x64

How to install it:

1. Copy db.viv to C:\Program Files\EA Sports\NHL09\db XP
or C: \My Documents\NHL09\db Vista

2. copy exhibition.exh and exhibition.exha.tdb to My Documents\NHL09

1. There is no folder in my NHL09 called "db" the only files i have are user.txt and exhibition.exh.
However i did find db folder containing a db.viv and it's located in C:\Program Files(x86)\EA Sports\NHL09\db

2. There is no exhibition.exha.tdb to be replaced

Attemps (already did the BHImport installed)

I tried replacing the exhibition.exh and started the game but the roster became default roster

Attemp 2

I pasted db.viv, exhibition.exh, exhibition.exha.tdb in C: \My Documents\NHL09\
In addition I replaced the db.viv in C:\Program Files(x86)\EA Sports\NHL09\db with the one provided.
I managed to start the game but it immediately crashed after first loading screen (before the EA Sports logo animation).

Thanks in advance

Okay, I reinstalled and followed what u wrote. Still doesn't work Is there something I missed?

DSgamby · 07-01-2009, 07:51 PM

did you restart your PC after you turned off UAC?

stillwind · 07-01-2009, 10:44 PM

yes to both. i don't understand where exhibition.exha.tdb and the db folder in My Documents\NHL09 is suppose to come from. R u suppose to automatically get them after installer the "NHL08 tools".

DSgamby · 07-01-2009, 10:53 PM

no, and PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING, the exhibition.exha.tdb along with the exhibition.exh goes in the Documents\NHL09 folder and the db.viv goes in the C:\Program Files\EA Sports\NHL 09\db folder.

stillwind · 07-01-2009, 11:26 PM

oooooooo okay thank you for clearing that up!!!! Now i just have to solve the crashing issue.

DSgamby · 07-01-2009, 11:44 PM

did you run the game after you installed the roster this last time?

stillwind · 07-02-2009, 12:09 AM

Yes, Same crashing problem...=\

EDIT: NVM IT WORKS NOW!!!!!!!!!!! Many thanks for your support!!!!!!! Although I still see Sundin and Antropov in Toronto, I can see some changes r made to the player's contract and salary
