I still have 11 teams left to go, but I was wondering if any of the experts, as well as the other sim commissioners, wouldn't mind taking a look and letting me know what they think of the players.
I will say off the top - I have never been a fan of extravagent OV. So, the highest rated player in our sim (Alex Ovechkin) is a 76 OV'er. You can mess with the sim sliders, I suppose, if you wanted it to be higher. I also did this so that you wouldn't have the absolute slew of 54 OV'ers and lower that seem to plague a lot of ratings packs. Those guys are pure useless, and let's face it - if you're playing pro hockey in the NHL (in particular) or the AHL, you shouldn't have players rated that low. Our lowest rated player is Ian McKenzie at 55 OV, and we only have three currently rated lower than 56 OV. In my opinion, this gives your GM's a lot more options to manage his team, just like a real GM would. It also puts the onus on the GM to make sure he's paying attention and developing his team. We will have in-season rerating (+/- 1 on pro team per attribute, +/- 2 per attribute for farm players) on and also will have offseason rerates (+/- 3 OV) - so nearly every player in our sim could be of some use.
Oh, and finally - ignore the player named "Aaaaabigail Aaaassshat" - I just wanted to have something at the top to denote what a player would look like with all 99 ratings in our setup.
