He didn’t get a copy of the file as far as I know

[I wanna be like Miikka]

I’m in the same league and while I haven’t seen the file I’ll avoid trading until Grant figures out the sim stuff.

Guys I hacked Jiri's mainframe and saw all the new rates. You won't believe it! Granlund is an 80! I totally shouldn't but I might move him for a 1st. It's got to be in the next few days though. K Bye!

Bad news. I can't figure out how to load it into the sim.

I will put myself under self imposed trade freeze until i figure that out.

That's too bad. I was going to trade you Bedard!

[Knut]

For full disclosure:

The rerates are coming from a couple members of the other league. I was not privy to these until they were released yesterday. I simply asked if the CPHL could use them when they were completed. They said yes.

Now that I have access to the ratings I will be in a trade freeze as well. I might have discussions in a general sense but wont pull any triggers until they are officially out.

[MJK]

Can’t the ratings be released to everyone then in the meantime until we figure out how to load the sim?

Or is it if we can’t figure that out we go with something else?

[Jiri Hrdina]

The final ratings and OVR can change when you load in the sim based on the settings our league uses, so releasing it before I upload into the sim would be misleading. I need to load in the sim, and then output the ratings as they show up for us.
The file I have also has no OVR, just the individual attributes.

[agulati]

When do we think the ratings would be available?

[Jiri Hrdina]

Not sure. Waiting to see if the other league is willing to actually share the proper ratings file with me or not. If not, we will likely have to pivot to a different package.

Keep in mind last year it was late June.

[Jiri Hrdina]

OK well sounds like they won't share the file, so that's that.
There is a package coming out this week that sounds promising that I will check out when it's released.
Thanks for trying Knut.

[MJK]

Uhhhhh really?!??

Several current CPHL GMs are in that league and some I know about to join. Lame for them to do that.

[TheScorpion]

Yeah, I've been in that league. Very disappointing. Guess I know I won't go back.

[Swayze11]

Super weird

It shouldn’t have to come to this. Several current CPHL GMs are a part of that league. We are a full league with no vacancies, but they need GMs

Share the files and maybe current CPHL GMs wanna have another league to play in. But instead deny file sharing because of what? Competition?

Lame.

Do the right thing FHL.

[SportsJunky]

Yeah I remember waiting well into the offseason for ratings in past years. If we have to wait another week for this other package, so be it.

[BagoPucks]

It's okay their ratings is garbage anyway.

[Jiri Hrdina]

I just want to be clear on things, as the last thing I want to do is start a beef with another league. The guy that Knut hooked me up with provided me with the excel file and has been trying to tell me what to do with the file. I've also tried to follow the instructions by the provider of the sim.
Basically it has to match a certain format exactly or it won't load. Moreover, the excel file doesn't contain player information such as age, positions, etc. So I would need to get that elsewhere and that merge the two files together into the correct format.

It's simply beyond my skills.
The ratings file itself would bypass all that. When you buy a package that's what you get. I've offered to pay for the file, but it's their file and their call. They put in the work to create it and if they want to keep it private it's up to them.
