If that's the case, why the hell does the "Behind The Build" in the Militia locker room say

Code:

"Strength - The higher the stat, less chance to get successfully hit. Limited effect on faceoff. (Affect by Coach)"

"Puck Handling - The higher the stat, less chance to get successfully hit / less chance to lost control of puck / better chance in shot block or shot deflection. Part of decision making formula*."

This is exactly why it should only be up to certain people to put this information out. This is exactly why this stuff needs to be streamlined. Heck, Tanner said that the rules to the league were spread across the entire damn league before he went through it all and compiled them all into one place. I hate how this guide here says that puck handling affects so much then you basically say the opposite. What am I supposed to do in that situation? If I hadn't come here because of the clickbait headline, I probably would have never paid enough attention to strength because this guide says that it definitely doesn't affect everything.

Not everyone has the time or the patience to shift throug the STHS forums to figure out the sim (even if its just a bit) so that they can understand just what the hell each stat does in the sim.

It's not up to just certain people to put information out because in all honesty nobody has any fucking idea outside of what the manual says, and there have been several several times the general consensus of what "should" be a great build has been proven entirely wrong. People can say they know based on what the manual says but that doesn't factor in the randomness of the sim. I've built my player according to what all these knowledgable sim guys have said and see little to no improvement over what I normally build. Don't read too much into what the manual says because I guarantee you, if you do you're going to end up frustrated. The most important attribute in STHS is one we can't update, it's randomness. It's why the number one seed is CONSTANTLY getting knocked out by number 4 seed, mediocre teams are the ones always winning the cups and very few players are consistently at the top of the leaderboards and the others are a revolving door of ransoms. No matter what you do to your build its a crap shoot.

My rookie season I scored 40 points despite only having like 500 TPE. I didn't hit 40 points again for like 7 seasons despite more than doubling my TPE for instance
