So far in our league that uses the 2.0 engine (please spare me the rant that 2.1 is much better, we have tried a ton of tests and are never happy with the results):
19 games decided in OT
15 games decided in the shootout
Our teams are scoring 3.28 goals per game on average. Yet in 3 on 3 OT, that doesn't translate.
NHL so far this year:
25 games decided in OT
9 games decided in the shootout
Historically, games end in OT around 66% of the time in real life.
Is there any solution here we can implement on the fly? It makes no sense to me that the sim sends so many games to a shootout.

Re: Too many games going to a shootout
Update:
In my league:
33 games decided in OT
27 games decided in the shootout
So 55% of games decided in OT
Meanwhile in the NHL:
41 games decided in OT
19 games decided in the shootout
So 68% of games decided in OT
I am going to suggest that the fact we have to list 9 forwards and 5 defencemen minimum for overtime is not helping matters.
I would suspect most NHL teams use 6 forwards and 3 defencemen in OT.

Re: Too many games going to a shootout
The last 5 games in my league to go to OT have gone to shootouts. This is really becoming stupid.
The crazy thing I've noticed is in most of these 5 minute 3 on 3 OT's...there is often zero shots for either team. Or 1 or 2 total. How is that possible?
An average of 3.16 goals per game per team yet on 3 on 3, teams can't score or get shots on net...

30 games decided in shootout

With version 2.0, that all you'll get I think.
