2.1 testing...
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 2:39 pm
I am starting to REALLY hope that the 2.0.x engine will be around for a while to come
I've run about 30 test seasons with the 2.1 engine (simhl ratings, 30 nhl teams).
I want to run a run and gun type league (ala '80 Oilers).
I've got shots where I want them per game - goals is another story.
Yes, the 2.0.7 update has reduced 90+SC scoring a bit but it doesnt help. I've got scoring cranked back to 15 on the slider which gives every goalie at 2.5gaa or better and 930 save % or better and nobody scores except the 90+ SC guys and they are racking up points like crazy (Ovi 163G/344P as an example) and the leading score on the crap teams cap out at 50 points.....
With the 2.0 engine, the goal slider is linear and as you move it, team production seems to go up and down which is what I want in 2.1 the slider kills everyone except guys who can shoot (and their setup guys). As an example the Oilers have 8 players with 20 or more points (not goals, points) and the remaining 10 have less than 10 points.
Just running a normal NHL type league with out what I want to do with extra scoring, the 2.1 engine doesnt work... unless I manually start rerating players to reduce SC now to see if I can get that to work.... I think its much easier for me to go with the 2.0 engine.
