Too much bread, not enough butter.
While I, and I'm sure the majority of FHM players, unabashedly appreciate all the work you volunteer researchers contribute and understand what a massive task it is, it's not really our responsibility as paying customers to help fix this issue. Particularly when, as G-Nuke points out, we don't even have access to proper out-of-game editing tools. Solid research should be part of the development plan and part of the budget, for them to rely on volunteer researchers to handle such a large part of the game is akin to any other buggy/broken game release rushed out the door where the developer essentially "waits for modders to fix it", and I'm sure we have all had at least one instance of begrudging a developer for selling us a game in that condition.

The things you mention with the leagues would have to be solved even if only NHL was playable. The other leagues would have to exist as unplayable and all the things you mention would have to be solved. I suppose you want to have player development and players coming from various nations and leagues at least.
I'm not saying it's your responsibility, I'm mentioning the option. Join the research team and you will get editing tool and options.
I would prefer to have an editor for everyone too but do you want the developers to spend more time with the editor and less time with the game?
