It makes sense that its also about lines but then at the same time, if you're building a role player (say a shutdown center who passes a lot but doesn't shoot at all) then you really need to be paired with a pure sniper but then the other guy might not care about that and he also focuses on defense way too much when he should be a role player to fill out the line. There are so many variables to these things.

And is it really worth responding to people who think they're just right and that's it?

That's up to the GM to address that, understand the way these players work and move them around. But usually people see being on the third line as a major step down, when it could be a huge boost for them. Most of the past few seasons, Mark Longford was our third line scorer in Edmonton and dominating because he played weaker competition. People get annoyed with their place though.

It sometimes can, but it isn't often easy to. Usually I do just ignore it, sometimes I say sorry I can't help how the sim works and can sometimes be inconsistent. If you look at it, I run tests for consistency of over 500 games per team so I know what is consistent. But in a 50 game season, literally anything can happen. People expect it to always be consistently similar, but it's never that way even in real life and that's where most people's primary frustration stems from.
