Why do I suck so bad?

[Tate 450]

Mad Villain’s offensive struggles this season have been a head scratcher, especially given his talent and past performance. With only 4 goals, 13 assists, and 17 points in 38 games, it’s clear he’s having a tough time putting up numbers for the Las Vegas Aces. A lot of factors could be at play here, but one potential reason could be the increased presence of higher TPE players in the VHLM this season. With a surge of top end talent across the league, Mad Villain might be facing stiffer competition, making it harder for him to dominate as he has in the past.

 

It’s not uncommon for young players to have to adjust to a stronger, faster league filled with highly skilled players. On the other hand, it’s worth questioning whether the build could be part of the problem. I’ve never built a center before, so there’s a learning curve here, and maybe I’ve misallocated points or prioritized the wrong skills. Centers have to be versatile, covering faceoffs, playmaking, and defensive responsibilities, and balancing these traits could be where I’m missing the mark. Flying somewhat blind with this build, it’s possible Mad Villain lacks a focus that fits the team's style or his own strengths. I may need to recalibrate his attributes, focusing more on his scoring or playmaking, to get his offensive game back on track. Either way, some adjustments are definitely needed if we want to see Mad Villain lighting up the scoreboard again.
