- The new version of NHLView NG 2.2.12.25 is finally here, just in time for the holidays. Here are some highlights of the new release:
- Multi-threaded loading: database loading process now takes advantage of multi-core processors and hyper-threading to speed up roster opening.
- Official support of NHL 15 and NHL Legacy Edition.
- Bug fixes from the previous release.
- Drop-downs for player appearance now have values generated from default rosters.
- Refactored player appearance fields into a separate tab with graphical assets preview.
- It is now possible to create new players (use with care, very raw feature).
- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2016! Thank you for your patience and positive feedback.

Update on NHL Legacy Support
NHL Legacy has some structural changes to the database. NHLView NG will not be able to open the rosters without any modifications, like last year. I will release a version of NHLView NG and TDBView which supports the new db structure shortly.
Progress Update 2015/02
Recently, I received a bunch of encouragement and appreciation emails. I thank you all for taking time to express your gratitude. I have not posted many updates lately even though I have quite a few new features being worked on in parallel for the next version of NHLView NG. Most of this is due to this little person who takes surprisingly large amount of time.
I want to assure you that it is my absolute intention to release the next version of NHLView NG as soon as I get around to complete it. In the meantime, I thank you for your patience and offer you the following screenshots from the next version:
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:

A rather important bug with opening PS3 rosters coming from EU consoles forces me to release an updated version of NHLView NG. This version also fixes a couple of more minor bugs reported in the forums.
