Passing kinda sucks, the better focus is defense/scoring as primaries and then puck handling/skating as secondaries, and then like strength/passing/checking (if you really want it) as third options

It depends on what kind of player Mr. Appleweed is. If he's focused on scoring goals and getting points, I would say Scoring then Skating/Puck Handling should be your highest stats. If you're wanting more of a power forward, you could put a little more of a focus on Strength and Checking.

 

Overall, Scoring and Skating is always a safe combo. I wouldn't entirely neglect Passing or Defence in any of these scenarios either though.

 

Also, I've been gone for three years and I don't even have a player yet, so take this all with a grain of salt!

In the intervening 3 years we have mostly learned that passing should stay a good bit behind scoring in most cases and, more importantly, Defense is SUPER important, even for a forward.

I know at least on the theoretical/mechanical side of things, Passing and Defence contribute to the “pass, shoot, or carry” logic of each player, with Defence being the secondary contributor.

 

So I can see how boosting Defence, and getting a more minor bump to the pass logic while still reaping whatever technical benefits one gets from Defence would be quite helpful.

Do whatever you want my guy.

 

Even if you follow these dudes meta builds, the player might suck ass and than you'll be even more frustrated if the results ain't good. It only works for them.

 

Just have fun and god bless your journey
