Hi Simon,SimonT wrote:Players make decision on what to do with punk regarding a formula. As you can guest easily, SK is an important part of Skating Decision, PA is an important part of the Passing Decision and SC is an important part of Shooting Decision.
For a player with 99 SK, 99 PA, 99 SC, players have 33% chance of shooting (99 / (99+99+99) = 33%)
For a player with 99 SK, 99 PA, 60 SC, the players had 27% chance of shooting (60 / (99+99+60) = 23%)
For a player with 60 SK, 99 PA, 60 SC, the players had 27% chance of shooting (60 / (99+60+60) = 27%)
For a player with 60 SK, 60 PA, 60 SC, the players had 45% chance of shooting (60 / (60+60+60) = 33%)
P.S. It's NOT the formula but I'm simplifying so it’s easier to understand.
I saw this and I wanted to follow up. I know this isn't the exact formula, but does the SC and PA ratings not have anything to do with actual ability in those 2 areas? For PA, the ability to get a pass through traffic or to have better ice vision in order to even attempt a pass? For SC, an ability to score on a high% of their shots?
For example, if there are 2 players who both take 200 shots. One player's SC rating is 50 and the other is 90, would the player with 90 SC score on a much higher % of his shots? Or does SC simply work combined with PA and SK to determine whether or not he even shoots?
If it is indeed the latter, than would a pure playmaker simply need his SK pushed much lower than his PA in order to ensure he passes vs. skating with the puck. And likewise for a sniper? Much lower SK vs. SC to ensure he shoots more than he skates with it?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
