Two small suggestions

Post by Owen »

Well I'm happy to see that OT points and SO points have split, so I don't even need to ask for that. I do have two other small suggestions to mention.

I'd like to see two-letter team abbreviations be allowed. STHS currently requires teams to have three letters. Many teams in both the NHL and AHL only have two (SJ, NJ, LA, CT, etc.). It doesn't seem to be too big of an issue since you can just add a space after it and it will count. Nonetheless, it would be a nice feature.

Another suggestion I have is to allow teams to have either a captain and two alternates, or no captain and three alternates.


Thanks for reading!

1- look on NHL.com, all teams have 3 letter abbreviations.
SJS, NJD, LAK, TBL,

2- is it really that important to have 3 Assistants vs 2 + 1 capt ?
seriously, what difference does it make ?

Hmm I thought the whole point of a "suggestions" forum is to make suggestions, no? Perhaps you'd like to provide a better definition of the word. God forbid people would want to have added options in a simulator they've spent money on.

As far as abbreviations go, so what if NHL.com has three-letter abbreviations? When on TV have you ever seen teams like those use a three-letter abbreviation? I don't think any other media source even does. TSN uses two letters. So does RDS. So does ESPN. And print media? Yep, that too.

For Abbreviation, it could mess up the outputing. For the Captain / Assistant, it'll required too much change for the value it's bring.
