I'll take a crack at some of this.

1) Skating is not the most important attribute, in fact it can be a bit more damaging than some other very important attributes. It's that people in SHL have said skating was so important for so long, no one ever actually checked and realized that the simmers always used Strength as the most important, because it is. And that's what I've always told people and is the reason I've helped a lot of people be successful.

Wow wow wow, timeout here. Strength is the most important? What does strength affect then? Skating, shooting, body checks, puck posession, etc? What's the point of being a role player if you still need to sink a crapload of TPE into strength? I was going to build a more defensive minded player from now on (since my scoring is already at 60, I figure that's enough) but if I don't sink points into strength, nothing else matters?

I mean it seems like there are some fundamental flaws in this system and I have to agree with a lot of the points OP makes because while hits do tell some things, I'd still love to have more corsi because its sometimes really hard to figure out what the hell is that isn't working. <a href='index.php?showuser=2273' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>bk1689</a> was a -22 on the season and he had more TPE in his build than me, so technically he should have been better but he just got absolutely punished in the sims when it came to that stuff.

I heard Tanner talking about how goalies don't really get good until around 700-800 TPE but with all of this info, I can't decide what stats I should focus on because I'm getting a mixed message from every single source I'm looking at.
