You aren’t gonna be pleased with the most recent sim...

Welcome to the VHL, dylanlib! We're happy to have you. You should have received a PM with some more detailed information, but to get started quickly you will want to head over to the "How to Create a Player" topic. That topic will offer you detailed information about how to use the VHL Portal to create your player and get you started. We also highly recommend joining the VHL Discord where there is a channel dedicated to helping new members with any questions that they may have about the league or improving their player. Once your player is made VHLM General Managers will be in touch with you about joining their teams. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you have here or in your create-a-player thread. We're happy to have you in the community and we hope you stick around!

How heavily are you over? I know last season they let @DollarAndADream drop a few TPE off his WJC player to get under 350 and compete since he was close.

Honestly I find mobile better on the site than Discord... There’s not honestly much we can do about the mobile site short of switching platforms again. We’re at the will of IPB

It’s not like I’m opposed to Discord. I just don’t like it replacing the forum for the sake of discussion. It’s my main problem with chat boxes in general, everything is in the moment. So if anything important is in there it’s VERY easy to miss.

Chat boxes kill league activity and we never should have one! /s I’m obviously joking. I’m also one of few who have been around long enough to remember when that argument was actually raging in the community. Though I will say as convenient as Discord is I still don’t love that it takes away from board discussion. However our discussions has been waivering for a few years now so it moving to Discord could be worse.

It’s not so much that it’s unreasonable per say, it’s that the suggestions forum on his official forums specify “don’t suggest things specifically for your league” so he does t sound like the kind of guy who loves doing custom work. For the right price though, who knows. Would depend how extreme the re-writes would have to be. I’m not opposed to trying, Im just not getting my hopes up that he’ll be willing to do anything major for us.

I’ll take a look. If he was there last season he should be there now. I haven’t released anyone from the roster but maybe something glitched him out when @Will set the rosters initially.

When was he added? I might have just missed slapping him into the roster.

I mean that’s the official story haha

If you want to try then have at it.

I mean you can go to the Simon forums and suggest it. I can’t imagine he’ll be too interested in making a whole version for 1 league but who knows. It also won’t change the randomness of STHS much, might just make our attributes work better with the new stats.

Man, you would have liked the olden days. We used to sim on EA NHL games haha. Ultimately it’s not worth the effort though. You can’t have daily sims without way too much effort, and even then it’s usually only 1 game. Plus making and updating the players is a major pain. Think how how annoying the ASGwas for you. Now times that by over 200 games per season and add in updates... As for making our own, more money and expertise than we have by far. And there’s no guarantee it wouldn’t be buggy either. Honestly STHS isn’t perfect but it has been solid for us for over 11 years. It can do some wonky things in the playoffs but more often than not the better team does win. You do want shut of randomness, as annoying as it can be. Otherwise it would be really boring knowing from the off-season who’s gonna win the cup.

At this rate all your career firsts are gonna happen against Seattle haha

After 62 seasons changing engine really isn’t feasible at all I will say. Plus, for what it’s worth, STHS is relatively consistent but the playoffs are... something else. I don’t know what kind of randomness gets turned to 11 in the playoffs but it likes causing upsets. Been doing that literally since S1 when Calgary lost only 3 games in the regular season but lost the cup. What I will say is the VHLM upset makes a lot more sense. Halifax dominated the league early because they got strong players early butthe VHLM cap means other teams caught up with them in TPE by the time the playoffs came around. Also no, multiple weeks of VHL.com in one go isn’t allowed.

Literally everyone has an update log... how do you think we check what you’ve claimed?

@Will left his computer to download the old indexes and didn't notice it wasn't plugged in / STHS was still open. Computer died and thus never saved after the last sim. Situations like this is where it would be nice if Simon added an option to manually set winners (even if player stats would still change). Maybe just have it show on the output page that the winner was manually set (so that its clear there's no cheating going on for non-re-sims). Wouldn't be used during like Line mixups in the playoffs and such but with situations like this it would come in handy to not change the standings.

@VHLM GM I just updated the rosters without a sim; will be simming in a little bit but likely within a few hours. If you have made any signings or want to change your lines in any way with new players please send them along ASAP.

So that’s where my points went I went from 4 goals in 2 games to 1.

Unforunately the last sim had to be re-done yeah.

How do you think I feel, I lost 3 goals Will’s computer crashed while STHS was open so it didn’t save the results of the last sim unfortunately.

We suffered a loss to Quebec that we had previously won and I lost 3 goals in the process
