Which sim engine do you find produces the best results? Currently using 2.0 but we are seeing subpar teams winning and good to elite teams struggling to make the playoffs. I heard there is just to much randomness involved.

I forget which engine we used prior to 2.0 but the scores were insanely high even with the offensive ratings set as long as possible.

So what sim engine do you prefer?

1.5 is the best, by far. I've simmed THOUSANDS of seasons testing our ratings out.

2.1 is extreme, and unless ratings are tweaked to the extreme, and sim settings tweaked to the extreme, the results are also EXTREME.
2.0 is very randomized, both with players and teams that succeed, there's little to no skill in winning
1.5 is the most stable, still a bit heavy on the odd unbeatable goalie, but overall, by far the best option.
