NHL 15 Support

The structure of NHL 15 roster files for PS3 and XBox 360 is 100% the same as that of NHL 14. It appears that this year’s game received no active development and EA is concentrated on PS4 and XBox One for which the editor will not come any time soon. While I prepare the official release of NHLView NG supporting NHL 15, you can use the following walkaround to open the rosters in the current version. Add the lines below at the end of games.conf file located in NHLView NG folder:

TDBAccess 3.0

  • While the new version of NHLView NG is in the works, I’m making available a new version of TDBAccess Library which will allow you make your own applications that read and write all TDB database from previous PC and the current PS3 and XBox 360 NHL games. The added functions to handle console games still require external programs (pfdtool for PS3 and Horizon or similar for XBox 360). The library comes with two example projects, one in Delphi another in Visual Basic .NET. The new version 3.0 is not backward compatible with previous version 2.7. While all the old functions kept their parameters intact, all the strings are now 2-byte Unicode instead of 1-byte ANSI. Download the new version if you are interested in Developer Tools section.
  • I know a lot of you are waiting for the next version of NHLView NG. Let me assure you, it’s in the works and coming in not too distant future.

NHLView NG First Release

  • After several long years of development, NHLView NG is finally available for download. Please grab it in the newly created NHLView NG section of the website. I would like to thank everybody for all the patience you exhibited in the past month as I prepared this release. I received a lot of positive feedback and great comments from a lot of people. I’m also extremely grateful to all the people who helped me test the program. Without you, this release would not have been possible.
  • While I may reply to email questions, I encourage you to post bug reports and questions in the NHLView NG forum. Not only you might have a chance at a faster response from another user, but it also keeps a better history of bugs and allows me to properly assemble the tasks when times comes to fix them.

NHLView NG Imminent Release

As I’m readying the initial release of NHLView NG, I invite those who plan on downloading and using the program to register or recover the password for your forum account. As was the case previously with NHLView PC, I’m planning to mostly use the forums for receiving bug reports and offering support for problems you may be experiencing and questions you may have. Due to problems with spam, I’m forced to manually approve all registrations. There is a field in the registration form that is designed to distinguish real users from bots. Please make sure to fill it in such a way that I’m able to know you are not a bot. Also, please be patient with account activation, it may take me a few hours to activate it. If you do not receive an activation within a day, please contact me by email. Thanks.
