You should have never changed your format. You were Metallica and you sold out to be like all the others. Still I hope for the best in the new format. LOL...when you get ripped apart and gutted in your 2nd year, it takes a lot of the passion you have to dedicate that kind of time to something like ...

Any sim engine which results in the player with the 2nd best overall rating in the league not being able to crack 75 pts in any season is not realistic. That's what we dealt with in our league. Some surprises, sure... but when more star players produce like 4th liners than not every single year, th...

Howdy folks. Thomas Gidlow here from BEARD Hockey. As we've transitioned from a sim-based rerate league to an NHL rerate league, we're going to be offering up our yearly ratings packs to the STHS Community as yet another entry into a seemingly, all-of-a-sudden busy space. We're thrilled for this opp...

It would be nice but hella crazy for most leagues to implement - unless the ratings pack guys start pulling that data too.

I also find it a little annoying there's no delineation, as it's a real thing now whereas in the past, it wasn't really.

Oh believe you me, the battle between websites of name spellings is one I've waged many times before haha. It's an unending battle. :P LOL...we've created ours from scratch and are happy to show the work once we get there. The formulas have been in process for years - we got to a point recently of w...

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 However, I found a decent amount of misspelled names, some incorrect or out-of-date vitals, and a good amount of duplicate players (easy enough to fix, though).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 co...

^^ That's not what I said lol. I said it has an element of randomness, not that it's "unbelievably random". If all players want is straight fantasy hockey, then sure, maybe 2.0 won't be your bag. But if you want something somewhat realistic to what NHL play is like, while maintaining a sim...

2.0, to me, is the best engine of this simulator. It gets a somewhat bad rap due to some "randomness", but I find it's the most realistic engine to real-life of the engines available. 1.5 wasn't bad, but 2.0 is better. 2.1 seems to be too geared toward the best teams and best players alway...

Thanks!

Another digging up of an old thread, but I also have a general question on this. All of these settings ONLY pertain to OV, correct? Adjusting these settings would have no bearing on a player's ability to score, defend, hit, etc...right?

^^ That's what we do now. Was just wondering if we could perhaps have an option built in to process deals during this time.

As it does happen occassionally in the NHL and we allow it in limited circumstances in our league, is it possible to allow an option to open up trading during the playoffs?

Thanks!

Intentional tanking should be grounds for dismissal. But if you don't have that codified in your rules, loss of pick(s) might be the way to go too. Le tanking intentionnel devrait être un motif de licenciement. Mais si vous n’avez pas cela codifié dans vos règles, la perte de choix pourrait être la ...
