Sim engine…
Is it me or is the simming engine not even in the realm of realistic? Ive yet to have more than one goal, but the opponent consistently gets 4 or 6 goals. Every…single…time

The sim engine is terrible. I have a team where the lowest overall is 88, and the team didn't even have 40 wins and no one cracked 60 points
@johum2886 Check their poise stat
- @SilentAssassn25 all above 83 with the exception of one 78, most around 86/87
- @johum2886 Yeah I don’t think poise would be that big an issue.. the sim engine is definitely broken.. you get middle six NHL players putting up massive points and then your superstar players are so hit and miss.. sometimes play to their potential sometimes only put up 50pts
The whole sim engine just isn’t good.. you get bottom dwelling teams putting up huge win streaks at he end of season and sweeping #1 teams more often than not.. just not good- @heavydutyrammer fully agree. I did a test where MacKinnon played in the AHL for a year with competent linemates and had less points than the previous year when he played in the NHL, almost makes no sense
So, I know @SilentAssassn25 you push poise, so I decided to put that to the test. I went into the Bios and changed the Kraken to all have 100 poise. I turned off injuries and ran six seasons, never made the playoffs once.
I found that 50/50 ratio is 100% correct. I've sold off assets to have teams with nothing higher then a 80 on any line and I've made the play offs. I also made a custom Team, with only Frnachise players on all 4 lines, that got knocked out of the play offs by the Sabers, who didn't have a single elite player on the team.
Everything is a complete crap shoot. The only thing that seems to make any difference is the Head Coaches Teaching and Influence score and that's only for younger players living to their potential.
I even did a play run, of having every line chemistry a -2, both offense and defenses, and my goalie was an 83 overall. Did I make the playoffs? I won the Stanley Cup...
- @IrishOwl This is just ridiculous.. and I hope it gets some attention.. can it happen in real life? Yeah sure.. but the odds are astronomically low.. unlike the EA sim engine you’ve got a 50% chance of beating a top tier team with a group of 70ovr minor leaguers..
The really sad that @heavydutyrammer it won't. Let me point this out. I love all the changes they've made. I think coaches are awesome, I love the new scouting, the trade deadline mini game, and the new line chemistry, but if it doesn't work.... What is the point?
