My Random VHL Thoughts - S76 - Part 2

[Fire Tortorella 2,653]

• Phantoms are doing pretty well so far and might be exceeding expectations. Currently 4th in the EU Conference, but I didn't look too closely at who we have and haven't played yet. Hopefully we can continue to keep it up the rest of the season.
• LeClair II has stepped it up recently - pretty close to a point per game and relatively even splits between goals and assists. 
• There's been some talk about the sim engine - I personally have always been very caution about changes to the engine. This is not an area where "change for the sake of change" is necessarily a good thing - see the SHL's switch to FHM. When scoring was lower, we looked into the different STHS options, and we couldn't get any of them quite right. Expansion has resulted in individual point levels increasing again, so the only reason to explore the different engines now are for more customizability with line strategies. To me..........I don't really care about them personally. It's also another thing which could be broken with "meta" strategies. If I'm completely honest, I think it's sometimes better to know less about the sim engine than more.

Yeah. SHL FHM is horrible. It ruined, IMO, a lot of things. Even their shit way to look at stats is just nasty. I’ve been on and off on that league since S22 or whatever there but that switch 100% killed me. If I ever went back to try and die, it would be because of nostalgia.
