If the VHL had EA Sports-like ratings..

[diacope 1,696]

As of right now updates are still going in and people are going to be earning more in the future but I wanted to take a look at the current scoring, defense and goaltending ratings in the VHL, they are the most important skills and dictate possible outcomes without even seeing a sim, going to fit the goaltenders in with it and see how it turns out. Hopefully I can elaborate to the best of my ability on what I mean by this and give you an EA-like hype for the new season! Alrighty.. To the numbers.

Well that's it, your S76 VHL team power ranking right now, sure stuff will change a lot during the season but it's interesting to see the teams broken down with the main attributes to see who really stands at the top of the leaderboard. Good luck this season everybody! Looks like we have a lot of teams very close so it could be anybody's championship. Thanks for tuning in all the way through or just checked out your teams standing.. Bye

 

698 words not counting this last sentence, this should be good for next week since I'm already claimed a free week, had the idea a few hours ago so I did some research and got this together quickly before player ratings change too much.

Yeah true, trust me I wanted to, at least for skating, puckhandling, checking, strength, passing and faceoffs but that's another thousand calculator clicks plus forum page loads. Went in knowing it was purely stats-based article and almost every player focuses on those two. Also I don't want anybody mad for posting a bunch of the same thing over and over again (reason why I don't mind claiming either an extra 200 words) but I thought it was very interesting as we start the new season.

 

I'm going to do another at the end of the season, maybe I could post another one with extra stats in the near future and rank the teams by that (not sure how'd that work) or add that into the next one if I'm feeling it. Guess I should have thought it out before writing because I could have included the variety of all the player builds but there isn't much time before players are updated and that's how I go into every article, usually end it whenever my fingers decide it's time to stop
