trying to be better by actively making your player worse to exploit the sim engine

I don't blame anyone on Hamilton for trying to figure out a creative build that helps them win, but this is a crystal clear case of exploiting the engine

What would happen if every team in the league had 40 passing? The rest of us would have copped on eventually and wouldn't this have balanced out?

I support the decision, it's clearly an exploit and not a way to "be better," just curious.

This is such a bad take.  This isn't about being better - there is no scenario where logic would say that tanking passing stats is a good thing.  It's a loophole at best.

dont look for advantages. got ya

Completely missed the spirit of the comment though. Is it a sim bug? Hell yeah. Does that mean it's cool to exploit it? Hell no.

not putting points into checking makes your player better

Everyone cops on, 40 passing becomes the new meta, and the Passing attribute is added to the garbage heap alongside Discipline and Penalty shot, as well as Checking, Strength, and Faceoffs to a degree.

Moving forward with this meta would further restrict build creativity and go against any remaining realism that this league has.

Remember that team thats spent the last few seasons exploiting loopholes in the rules that just won the CC?

Well that's just false. There are certainly things wrong with the checking formula in the sim engine but throwing hits doesn't make your player worse.

i dont know how we can continue to use this version knowing this passing loophole. that attribute is at the heart of most builds... restrictions on passing goes against the spirit of what were doing here. i think we have to explore another version and run tests on that and see if the same thing happens.
