  14. So for this week's' topic of discussion, I wanna talk about something related to player builds. It's something I've been thinking about for a while now. As someone who chose to go slightly different from the meta, my player build currently prioritizes the passing stat over scoring. As you can see from my current build here, I have 90 passing and 77 scoring. Now because my passing is pretty high, you may think that I must be getting a lot of assists right? Well if you look at my stats, it kinda shows the opposite. What's even more damning is that assist leaders tend to have the scoring stat over passing stat as well. So what the deal with that? Is passing really not worth it? Lemme discuss a few factors that may or may not play a factor in whether or not passing first builds work or not. The first factor I would consider is how much ice time you're getting. You get more opportunities to make plays and get assists the more ice-time you get. And to be honest, this doesn't play much into how well a passing build does at all. Considering I play roughly 29 minutes a game during sims, my current 0.5 point per game pace isn't much and I should be putting up more points if that's the case. So that leaves with the only other factor I can think of. The second and other factor I can think of is whether or not your teammates, or to an extent your team can score. The passing stat basically makes your player pass more, and if you've got teammates that can put up the points, you are bound to contribute on assists more often than not. With that in mind and how LA has been for the past few seasons, you can tell that the team doesn't score too often. At that may be the factor for my case as to why my passing build may not be working. There have been successful pass first defenseman before, but it's a rarity. I don't want to think that your player can't produce offensively without a scoring build, but at this point, the only way these types of builds can work is if they're on a good, high scoring team. Passing really is dependent on the rest of your team as a whole, and I'm starting to lose hope on my 90 passing as well. So next season, I may be changing things up in terms of player build, but for now, we shall see if this will still work out or not. Players should have the choice to put their TPE to any stat they want, and I don't like telling them what to do. Of course I would tell them to avoid penalty shot or leadership, but how people make their builds is entirely up to them. This is just a sort of discussion just to see if passing is really worth it or not, and for me right now, it sorta is. The only thing is that it's highly dependent on how well your team is doing as well. If you have any thoughts, feel free to talk about it down below!
  15. I dare you guys to type s nubbed without the space between the s and n
  16. Las Vegas Aces Press Conference 11/23 - 11/29 Answer these questions for 2 Capped TPE 1) The season has begun! We have a pretty good start so far with a 7-1-2 record. What do you think of the start so far? 2) Do you think that we'll be able to maintain the pace we are currently at until the end of the season? 3) Do you feel like you're doing as well as you think you are doing? What can you improve? 4) What do you think is the biggest flaw in this team? 5) What was your favourite toy growing up? 6) What did you originally think of FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY when you first saw/heard it?
  17. Review: For a first article of sorts, it's pretty well made! I like the perspective you bring with this article and I also love the inclusion of your teammates which always adds more. The addition of junior stats is also interesting as I don't really see much of that apart from the Junior Reviews. My main issue is the formatting as separation between paragraphs helps make things easier to read. I also often suggest adding a bit of colour or maybe bolding/italizing your text. Overall, pretty good article and I hope to read the next one! 8.5/10
  18. Review: I've always enjoyed SITR. The formatting is great, albeit lacking on colour and not so dark mode friendly. The questions and responses are also very well thought out. You could tell that both the interviewer and interviewee took a considerable amount of time asking and answering well thought out questions. Overall a 9.5/10 (Didn't give you full 10/10 since it's not too dark mode friendly but still a wonderful read nonetheless)
  19. To all of those poor unfortunate souls who are signing up for a job opportunity at the VSN, I wish you all the best of luck and hope you don't get sacrificed in the future.
