Linus Zetterstrom Season Recap

[Ledge 1,131]

                                Linus Zetterstrom was drafted in the 4th round, 39th overall, by the Las Vegas Aces in the S74 VHLM Dispersal Draft. Since then, he’s been consistently earning TPE and writing a butt ton of media spots for some reason, probably because he doesn’t like making graphics. Zetterstrom is now 140 TPE and is a top prospect for the upcoming VHL Entry Draft. Today I will look at his attributes, like what he’s going goof at and what he’s not. Here we go:

 

Checking: 42 TPE

I don’t know why I wasted two TPE on checking. Not that it’s unimportant, just that checking isn’t a huge part of Z’s game and and I wasn’t going to keep upgrading it. I guess you live and you learn

 

Fighting: 40 TPE

Fighting is useless. It just gets you penalties and keeps you off the ice. I saw and still see no point in upgrading it.

 

Discipline: 45 TPE

I basically upgraded this because at the start of the season, Z was getting a butt ton of penalties. Jiggs pointed this out, so I upgraded discipline and now Z is fine. Newbies should always upgrade discipline to 45 if they don’t want a bunch of penalty minutes.

 

Skating: 65 TPE

Very important skill, especially as you’re starting out. Z has always had sublime skating, and it’s a massive asset in this league. It has so much to do with the the game, and if you have good skating, you will be a good player.

 

Strength: 41 TPE

One of the things Z has to work on. He is as strong as a wet noodle. And even though strength isn’t one of the more important aspects of your game, you should still upgrade it. I’m starting to now

 

Puck handling: 57 TPE

Puck handling is stick-handling, and it’s decently important. Z has pretty good puck handling, so that helps him make more passes Andy take the puck off guys. A good skill to upgrade, but shouldn’t be the focus

 

Face offs: 40 TPE

Z is a defenceman. He doesn't take face offs. Centers should have this at 70, and wingers should have it at 60. Defenceman don’t need it

 

Passing: 70 TPE

So there I was, happily upgrading defense and skating, when I look at my stats and see some zeros. This is early in the season. So, I figured, why not upgrade passing A LOT so that I get some assists and power play time? So I did. And here I am

 

Scoring: 45 TPE

I started upgrading scoring around the same time I started upgrading passing. I wanted points. So I gave scoring 5, which wasn’t a terrible idea. Z finished the season with an astronomical 2 goals. Whoopee. Passing is more important for a pass-first defenceman

 

Defense: 80 TPE

Z’s bread and butter. Now I actually have to save up TPE to upgrade defense now. It is a huge part of the game, for forwards and defenceman. Everyone should upgrade it like crazy

 

Penalty shot: 40 TPE

Another useless attribute that developers put in to troll newbies. DON”T UPGRADE PENALTY SHOT unless you’e the best player on your team and the GM puts you in the shootouts. Then give it 5. But no more than that

 

EX: 40 TPE

This shows up on my player page but not my player management page. I hope it’s useless because I can’t upgrade it. I also don’t know what the hell it is

 

Leadership: 40 TPE

An important real-life attribute that is useless in the sim engine. Why bother when you can upgrade defense.

 

Wow that was longer than I expected it to be. That’s great. Hopefully it’s over 1000 words so I can claim it again. See ya

 

 

 

Only 624 words. I overestimated myself

Review: This is almost more of a TPE guide than a season recap, and a good one at that. Nice short paragraphs and easy to read. Good job holding titles too
