As great as this sounds, waiting until August is difficult for some leagues to operate. I'm currently 'shopping' for a new ratings provider and don't mind paying but typically in my league, we like having the new ratings prior to free agency which we aim for mid-July. Waiting additional weeks for t...

I have a problem in my league, Players finish with like 96 goals and 150 points, but offensive defenseman don't have any impact. For example, Drew Doughty finished with 28 points. My ratings are normal and I'm using engine 2.1. Anyone has any idea what I can do to fix that? Thanks a lot. There's yo...

Note: this post is best read in the voice of Kenny Powers. This post is intended to inform the community that my NHL ratings for the 2.1 engine will be released around the beginning of August as per usual. Introduction These are the only ratings available that are specifically designed for use with...

Since you go through compiling stats, having your panel of hockey insiders provide input on thousands of players (not to mention sorting and quantifying all that data), generating the ratings, and testing them thoroughly, for three Sim engines, in about a week's time, I'm assuming it's all formulas ...

Even if the scoring is high on 2.1 ... With ratings designed for 2.1 scoring is not high. ... 2.1 gives the feeling you are able to play the game! I despise ratings that seem to allow autoline teams to be successful just because they have a collection of good players. Sure you can have some success...

I agree with mpclardy in the sense that it would have been excellent to see the FG-rating split into two values: willingness and ability. A player like Chara very rarely fights, but when he does he destroys anyone. It may not be "fun" to have predictable outcomes, but while fighting is sti...

I don't think there is a 3.0, but you should definitely move to 2.1.

Going by the IIHF World Rankings you're missing four nations from the Top 30: South Korea (23rd), Croatia (26th), Netherlands (27th) and Romania (29th). Just outside the Top 30 are Serbia (31st) and Belgium (32nd). You can find lots of names based on country of origin here: https://www.familyeducati...

My French isn't perfect so I may have missed something. But one possible quick fix would be that the fields in the csv-file are spearated by a ; instead of a comma which is what my Excel always does. Open the csv-file in the text editor to confirm it has the proper structure. You should also open th...

So true. I've provided some more insights to you in a pm, but you're absolutely right. The overwhelming majority of available ratings are for the other engines.

The 1.5 is the most commonly used engine. It's basic and most people seem to like it. The 2.0 is buggy and imo worse than the 1.5 The 2.1 is excellent and offers by far the most realistic simulation when done properly. It offers many more features to tweak the simulation and the gameplay. Simply put...

Not sure if this has been suggested before (my French is sketchy at best), but would it be possible to have an option to pick in advance which goalie you want in net for the shootout? We know that sometimes NHL teams put the backup in goal for the shootout, so perhaps that option could be included h...

Jim is correct

Few thoughts on this topic. I'll start with saying that back in the day when I was playing in a league we didn't use the "official" boxscores at all. We'd grab all the data and run our own scripts for star selections, fight outcomes and stuff like that, to get closer to what we felt was a ...
