It's an interesting concept worthy of a test, and HUT already has challenges/tournaments that follow a similar setup with salary and OVR so its feasible to shoehorn in to other modes.
That said, I'm not sure there is longevity in forcing players to use teams they don't want to - For example, I see so many people use thr same meta team over and over because the game favours certain players, and I personally don't like teams with too many right handed shots so I might have to take a bigger hit to OVR to play.
Timed seasons in EASHL are especially frustrating for teams like mine who don't get to play much and right when we are about to break into Elite or even get Elite 1, it all resets -- with everyone then unranked, you could still go 7-0 and only get ranked Gold.
Seasonal stats would help the lesser skilled teams and might show a wider pool of players that top the boards which is a bonus though

Why isn't the mode set to Simulation?

I don't have any details on that. We have to consider that not everyone is a fan of sim. It makes sense in HUT with the higher level plays as well as the hardcore competitive playerbase. It could make it's way to other modes at some point though.

Sim play would be great in verses, can't see why it can't be added to it

Hey guys, I have made a thread about how a "Simulation" environment would be awesome when playing ONLINE… Everyone that likes the game of hockey that loves to play like the real thing, make your voices heard, like I said in that thread, lol !

I've hinted this a couple of times in different threads, but it never seems to catch on here 😧 I know SIM gameplay people are out there 😀

Hardcore Sim gameplay settings in online versus would disrupt the kiddos who just want to wheel-snipe-celly. EA would be flooded with complaints from the vocal majority that the game 'sucks' and to 'revert back to normal settings' after they begin getting destroyed by a META that rewards skill versus abuse.
- 3 years ago@RatedxPGxEnigma If you do, your skill level will show a lot, the other team won't even be able to touch the puck if your skill level is too high compare to theirs. Arcade levels the plain field, and destroy the gameplay.
