Berocka 2,263 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Dumb ideas to make the league worse. 1. Injuries One of the big things that my NHL team the St Louis Blues have suffered through this season is the number of injuries. Having big names miss games has made it a lot harder for the team to perform to expectations. If we implemented this into the VHL this would make it extremely more interesting. What if your star goalie gets an upper body injury and is out for 15 games could you still make playoffs? If your only good scorer is out for the playoffs how quickly will you get swept. Doesn’t this sound like it would add so much fun to the sim. Like if you can’t play for two weeks and you don’t even bother logging in. 2. Endurance This is an attribute that you can upgrade in STHS however we have it capped at 99 so this is not an issue. But imagine if this started at 40 and you could only play a maximum of like 6 minutes a game so in the M everyone gets on and off the ice immediately as they have no stamina left. Imagine everyone having to pump TPE into one stat and making the already standard build that we already have. 3. Performance based TPE We always say that there is TPE creep and that is an issue. So, lets remove the capped weekly TPE completely. You must actually earn your TPE. Each time you score a goal or stop a goal you get 1 TPE. The rich get richer and the weak are stuck in the dungeon of the VHLM. Also this completely removes people trying to play down longer in the VHLM as if they score a point they will need to be called up the next season. 4. Relegation The lowest two teams of the VHL and the top two teams in the VHLM will swap. This means that the two VHL teams now participate in the VHLM, and they can’t apply any TPE over 250, but they get to keep the amounts they have already spent. They now participate in the VHLM draft. The VHLM team now participates in the VHL draft and they still lose any player eligible for the VHL or VHLM draft meaning they will get destroyed in the first season. This means you would see the same four teams yo-yoing each season and doesn’t that just sound wonderful if you get stuck on one of those teams. 5. Integration with a golf simulator So, everyone knows that all hockey players pick up the golf clubs in the off season. So, with the lack of things to do in the off season, we need to link up with a golfing sim so our players can do that when eliminated from the VHL. You would also need to spend any offseason TPE on golfing skills if they would like to participate. You would need to upgrade skills such as, Driving, Chipping, Slicing, Hooking, Accuracy, Putting, Strength. You can buy different clubs using your VHL money and this would help with the issues people have with the salary. @Seabass I hope this one meets your expectations...

We would have to super limit how long they could last so that people wouldn’t be out for more than a sim or two, I’m not sure if that’s possible or not but it would be the only way we could do it. Imagine if you got a season ending injury like 5 games in, how miserable that would be. Not only would you be waiting around 2 months to get sims but that entire season’s worth of stats would be a wash which could potentially kill HoF chances. It’s a miserable option for the sake of a tiny bit of “realism” mediocrepony 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/102924-dumb-ideas-to-make-the-league-worse/#findComment-845463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did skim through the manual for references to injuries. Didn’t see anything related to specifically locking off number of games. The durability stat affects how easy you are to injure and you can affect how fast people recover but it’s not direct numbers like “no longer than 5 games” it’s all just kinda sliders so we’d be somewhat guessing our way through. Could probably dial it in with enough testing but is it worth it? Probably not. mediocrepony 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/102924-dumb-ideas-to-make-the-league-worse/#findComment-845474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB123 728 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Review: Definitely aren’t all “dumb” ideas. Some great ones for sure. Injuries are bad for players, obviously, but would make things more realistic (not at a crazy rate though lol). Golfing in the offseason would be cool for sure. Very clean overall, bold titles for each section. 8/10 next time don’t say dumb Edited May 8, 2021 by JB123 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/102924-dumb-ideas-to-make-the-league-worse/#findComment-845580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
