Which engine are you using?

I am also struggling creating a forward with more than 60 assists. No matter if he has 19 Goals or 38 goals (and the coresponding SC). Playing around with SK didn't help either. We know it's not a simple inversion, as there seems to be a "sweet spot" for SK where the production is highest....

Hey there!

Can anyone tell me what "ProSARebound" is? It can be found in the v3 goalie csv files... Is it the total number of rebounds given up by the goalie?

Hey fellow 2.1 nerds. Before I write a longer post tomorrow about my research, I wanted to ask you about the following: Did you guys every check the Assists/Goals ratio in your 2.1 (test) leagues? Total Assists divided by Total goals? In the NHL the ratio is about 1.75 assists per goal. In STHS 2.1 ...

Some more findings: I picked an algorithm to reduce the spread between PA, SC and PH and wanted to check if that reduced the spread of the results. It almost had no effect. So I started to look into some of the most obvious overachievers. For example the curious case of the line of Blake Coleman, Na...

I am launching a fictional league tomorrow using this generator and will do 8+ seasons in a calendar year. If this launch is successful we will prolly see some interesting data start coming out of a human intervention league. :) Oh if you could give me the v3players csv files, I would love to run s...

Any old spare computer could do the job. I have a old PC in my living room that I leave crushing data all night long quite often. That may be true if you have access to the code and can write your own testing routines. I have to use the automatic test feature, and then parallel processing comes in ...

Thanks, 36Henry! You had emailed me a few weeks ago with your suspicion, that overachieving players have to do with them being the most talented on their team, but I don't think is is the case here. Tkachuk's best-season-team also has Mikko Rantanen, Jonathan Drouin and Ryan O'Reilly on the first li...

Mmmmh. It could be true for that real life example, I have no idea what settings they used, but for my tests morale was turned off. I did some more testing and using R I found that there is a certain correlation between the "range" of the results and the amount by how much SC is higher tha...

Hey guys! I am currently trying to create ratings for the 2.1 engine. I am aware of 36Henry's research, the "inverted" SK, tendency calculations etc. I am going a bit of a different route than most. While others tested their ratings only with one set of rosters (usually NHL rosters/lines),...

Just a quick question. In the Automatic Test report file there is a value for "Pro ShootOutPCT". Is that the percentage of games decided by shootout or is that he percentage of successful shootout attempts?

I noticed that in the window where we can change the OV formula, PA and SC are swapped. Setting PA to 99 and everything else to 0 give a OV of roughly the SC rating and vice versa. It seems that only the Offensive Defensemen are affected.

Thanks for sharing! Maybe the 2nd line center problem is related to ice time? I always take G or A per ice time as the benchmark.

I had some good results last year after making the goalies pretty strong, maybe you want to try and play around with that.

I really wonder if there is a way of creating 2.1 ratings without "sacrificing" the SK rating. Maybe if the SK, PA, SC trio is kept in a more neutral area (70 max) with PH being the decisive factor offering a bigger range of outcomes? Anyone ever tried this?
