@Dil / @Josh PO and PC are appearing in goalie updating which should be hidden as it was before. Although we have to test how much PC can do that can come later. For now anyone with a goalie please do not touch these categories.

Forgot we made that change haha. Yeah we thought it might be a tad confusing to have them be the same abbreviation.

Meant to mention this before it went live but that’s okay. You may notice that your build differs slightly from what you tested with originally. Based on feedback we made a couple of changes to the attributes and ratios between the original announcement and now. First, the passing attribute was weighted too high and made it very out of line with the others cost wise so it’s ratio has been reduced slightly. Second, fighting was inadvertently capped very low so anyone looking to make a meme fighting build was stuck. We have rectified this by adding a solo fighting attribute in addition to it being present in grit. Third, speaking of grit, we have kept fighting as part of the attribute because we do feel like anyone looking to get huge amounts of hitting would ultimately drop the gloves now and then but we did hear the complaints about it being weighted too heavily so we have reduced fighting’s effect in grit. Overall the changes end up as: Hybrid Passing: Passing 0.38 -> 0.32 Hybrid Grit: Fighting 0.3 -> 0.24 Hybrid Fighting: Fighting 0.3

Ouch

I mean you could have pressed the button yourself before the bot did it

Best goalies in the league right here.

Draft date for the VHL is set!

Gonna miss you @Frank and @Mr_Hatter

Those aren’t really copypasta’s though. It definitely has to be the @Tate fuck off one right?

Can on plagiarism oneself? If not then no, that’s not what happened.

Tbh that describes the whole series. You could argue the meta beat us in 80 and 81 even but Sales beat us in 82. You can’t win if you can’t score and ultimately the guy put up a .947 S% in the finals.

How much do we have to pay you to make it go away? I mean corruption? Who said anything about corruption? No corruption here.

Team World apparently didn’t get the memo since they picked their roster first meaning they don’t know who the leftovers are.

There was a time where it was seasonal but it became clear that people didn’t care about it (no one ever looked at them, GM’s didn’t send lines, etc) so it kinda became “why waste the time”

I’m aware this is extremely spread out and we will condense things if everything is going well and we are able. I also encourage all members to have stream or game nights or such to pass the time as they are able and if they would like them added to the official schedule just message me and I will add them.

I have a couple of quick notes to put here before we get into it. I know it’s weird but indulge me. First off, we are aware this is a week longer than usual, as I mentioned previously this is to give as much time as possible for the hybrid attribute transition. Secondly, we have intentionally placed the WJC in week , the WC in week 2, and the awards and such in week 3. This is to ideally spread things out as much as possible so that we don’t have a super exciting week and then 2 weeks of nothing. Thirdly, The cut off dates and depreciation are super early this season intentionally because of the need for GM’s to know in advance if any of their players are moving between leagues before the attributes get changed. I know this is especially annoying for the depreciation fighter cut-off but we need depreciation things handled before any re-rolls can be done. Lastly, Pre-season is going to actually be real this season, not just a re-create date. It’ll likely be 3 days but could be more. This is to allow us to account for any slider changes that may be required from the attributes changing so that we aren’t doing it mid-season. We therefore implore all GM’s to treat it like it’s the real season. I think that’s everything. I know this one is gonna be a lot, I get it. We please ask that you try to make this transition as smooth as possible and respect that it will take a bit of time. Because there is so much to do and still a relatively short amount of time to do it the “subject to change” line is EXTREMELY subject to change this season. Things will get shifted as needed.

1. 99 scoring is not possible anymore no. This was intentionally done both as a balancing factor and as a method to avoid breaking STHS too hard. 2. As we have explained to many people already: the key is that everyone is affected the same way. It seems problematic for you because you know what it was but would a new member know any different? Not at all. Yes, we have lowered the “value” of a single TPE but because we have done it across the board you aren’t hurt any more than anyone else so it’s still balanced. Ultimately being able to have max in all the main stats by season 3 was completely game breaking so this should help alleviate that. At the end of the day it’s just the numbers that change, the actual performance should stay relative. Also of note that’s a SUPER inefficient way to build. You can put things up above 90 but I wouldn’t suggest it because with the values tuned low and the update scale still being in play hitting those super high numbers is really bad on the “bang for your buck” level. You end up using a ton of TPE for minimal gain. In general it’s not going to be a good idea to try and operate hybrid attributes as if they work the same as the old attributes because they don’t.
