Bar Down 2015-2016 Ratings Package (Free)

Post by JoeBrosky »

I am very proud to present to the STHS community the very first edition of the Bar Down Ratings Package! I have been a long time simulator and user of STHS and fell in love with the SIMHL ratings but always felt they were a little off in some categories and were not always based purely on statistics, but rather weighted onto reputation in some cases. This is where I decided to step in and create my own ratings package that is very similar to SIMHL, but much more logically based as it is solely on statistics and advanced statistics such as corsi% and zone efficiency.

I own two simulation leagues

BarDownSimulation.proboards.com - Which is a keeper league!
OGSHL.poboards.com - Which is a salary based league using real NHL contracts!

Google Doc To The Ratings
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... y0/pubhtml

As you can see there is a comparison chart which shows the differences between the 2013-2014 SIMHL package to the 2014-2015 Bar Down Ratings Package which I believe is a great way to show how similar the packages are, yet how they are different at the same time!

Bar Down Rating Highlights
- All players who have played 10 games in the AHL or NHL have been created!
- Ratings are purely based on statistics and advanced statistics
- All player stats are 100% based on the 2014-2015 season except for PS, DU, EX, LD (which are based on the past 2 seasons
- I used a full scale of ratings starting with a possible 99 in a certain category (unlike SIMHL)
- Tested for version 1.5 but I expect very similar results in 2.0 and 2.1 if you adjust the sliders accordingly.
- Each test I ran, typically only 3-5 forwards got over 100 points
- Each test I ran, typically only 5-7 defenseman got over 70 points
- I ran these tests with 30 scoring, 70 shots, 20 penalties, and 30 injuries.
- I recommend staying in the ranges of 25-30 scoring, 65-75 shots, 20-30 penalties, and 25-35 injuries.
- Top players put up more points when lined together
- There may be an occasional lone outlier of a player reaching over 110 points (usually if they are on a stacked line) but this only occurred once every couple of test runs!
- Ratings file is 100% FREE and can be located in the downloads section on the STHS website!

For an example of how a category such as SC (Scoring) was done, I broke it down into specific statistical categories. A good example would be any player who scored 20-25 goals was put into a range of a SC rating between 75-80 depending on the amount of goals scored, shots, shooting %, etc. Obviously I started with Ovechkin with a 99 scoring rating and worked our way down from there to use the full spectrum of ratings unlike many packages.

A category such as DF was done by advanced stats such as corsi%, defensive zone efficiency, defensive zone starts, etc.

TEST RUN EXAMPLES
Here is an example of a test run I used with the rosters of a leagues that I manage. Keep in mind these leaders will obviously be different based on the teams in YOUR league, but I was very pleased with the results after a week of fine tuning!

Great job with the ratings.
always nice to have options.

only thing I don't like is where you say Simhl ratings were not always based purely on statistics.
I helped work on the simhl ratings and I base my own ratings off modified formulas from simhl
and I can assure you that ALL ratings are 100% stats

I want to thank everyone for being so supportive of our ratings! The amount of emails I have gotten are tremendous.

We have updated our ratings and have sent them to SimonT this morning. There were a few minor updates to some players.
