Hi Folks, As another regular NHL season wraps up, we come out of the work wood with new ratings packages. The ADS ratings package will be coming in its 4th iteration on June 1st. Last year I tried for May 15th and it was too tight, I didn't have enough testing by that date so extending the release b...

I'm more interested in getting a list of player names for database creation. Back in the days I used to add all players manually to my database creation. I want something easier this time. :P It looks like you can obtain this information by using the URL from the network console when viewing thesta...

I found another link that look at NHL API (https://github.com/Zmalski/NHL-API-Reference#league-schedule-information) but doesn't seem to allow to download the full year schedule either. Maybe the NHL stop allowing this. The best I can have right now is the schedule for 1 team. Simon, it appears the...

Well it looks like the NHL has finally made the EDGE data available to the public, this should really help out with creating Skating ratings... https://edge.nhl.com/en/home It'd be great if they build in an export tool or even have data in table format, otherwise having this information locked in w...

As mentioned in the original post, playability/simulation settings would be available June 1st. After over 60 seasons of SIMs to fine tune the settings, both 1.5 and 2.0 sliders are ready to ship. For those interested in the testing results, here is a Google Sheet that shows the results of 5 seasons...

FWIW I had also been thinking about zone entry stats for Skating. If there was a resource that show how many times each player skate the puck into/out of a zone vs passing it or dumping in. This is what I use for SK in my ratings package . Corey Sznajder tracks this. I use controlled zone entries/6...

Hi All, I'm happy to announce that the single and multi-season variants of the ADS Ratings package are now available. This is the third year the ratings package has been created and each year improvements are made to bring the most accurate package to the SIM world. For those new to ADS ratings. The...

Following in the footsteps of the impressive and perennial favourite BRHL ratings package, I thought it was just about time to include a PSA for my ratings package as a couple of customers from last year have inquired about the ETA for this year's release. The 3rd edition of the ADS Ratings package ...

What version of simulator are the rating for? This rating package is for v1.5 only currently, but hoping to expand to other versions in future years. Looking forward to someone focusing on the V2.1 sim engine :) I am currently road-mapping this project for next spring and can confirm there will be ...

Honest review of these ratings - they aren't bad. However, I found a decent amount of misspelled names, some incorrect or out-of-date vitals, and a good amount of duplicate players (easy enough to fix, though). And while I get these are built for 1.5, I think that's such a small subset of the sim c...

Any plan to make ratings based on 2 years ? Yes there are. I have created packages now for the 2019-2020, 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons so if required, I can create a blended package. If you are interested please send me a message with the weights you'd prefer to have on each season. Next season,...

After being involved in the SIM world for the past 5 years, I decided to help out the first league I join and attempted to created my first SIM ratings package last year. This packages was used in VHL, PHL and PFHL with great success. In my home league - VHL - input was taken from the league to the ...
