Nice to pick up a couple of points and a win, feels more like how it should be.

I managed to score and @Sonnet managed to play like himself. What is this madness?!?

It’s really not been hard lately.

We don’t make rules for every little thing that could possibly come up. However humans do decide these awards so common sense can be used. If his defensive numbers obviously drop off the face of the earth after switching, even if they total decently well, obviously it’s a sign that his time on D gave him an unfair advantage. Stats are the most important thing for the Committee obviously but context is looked at.

Switching over to forward halfway through the season should 100% disqualify Kovalchuk from Boulet contention IMO.

*sigh*

We continue to be terrible for no logical reason. I guess STHS has decided I’ve done well enough in my career, time to try and ruin HoF chances.

12 fucking power plays and we get shut out? How in the hell?

Man the sim gods hate us lately

Done

Honestly the first games were posted July 12th, not even 3 weeks ago, and we’re basically halfway through the season. That definitely doesn’t feel insanely rushed to me, seems pretty on par for a decent time frame. Everyone loves to say that they want to rush through everything but they never like what comes after so why bother rushing? “The regular season is boring, let’s get to the playoffs” followed by “half the teams aren’t even playing, let’s get to the off-season” followed by “this is taking too long, where are the sims? Let’s get to the Season”. Speeding things up won’t change how things work. ~6 weeks/ regular season isn’t bad at all IMO. Cutting 2 weeks out per season means cutting out ~4.5 months over a full career; just seems like a good way to rush through careers to me and it means GM’s have less opportunity to make any kind of adjustments which is even more important for the VHLM GM’s who’s rosters are changing on a basically daily basis. I’m sure everyone will just scream “old guard” at me but honestly I think this is one of those “if it ain’t broke” kinda moments. There’s no logical reasoning aside from a minor amount of reduction in inflation which would be countered anyway.

It makes the next engine up go berserk but there isn’t much proof, if any, that it has negative effects on the current engine.

On occasion we do that, just depends how many games per day STHS wants to spit out. If I have back to back days with like 2 games I’ll throw a third one in.

Up 3-0 and then allow 5 goals in the third? Are you fucking serious right now? God damn, I knew the STHS gods shined on us last year but didn’t think they’d curse us this badly because of it.

Personally I don’t think there’s reason to offer incentive to join via a specific member instead of something like a reddit drive. You’d have that exact scenario if we had recruits gain TPE just for joining and putting a member name, doesn’t really seem fair.

Ah, you meant an entire phone, did not read that right. Yeah no. Even if I was in charge of the finances I wouldn’t approve that
