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.

Similarly, Puck Handling is tangible. It's known as the Shot Blocking Attribute. It isn't a takeaway attribute, it's literally in the manual as: Higher chance of blocking a shot, and less chance to lose the puck when hit. It's not a takeaway attribute.


4) We had a Bojo stat thing for seeing how the hits mattered and all, it really just showed that the index was kind of right, the guy who hits people more is often the one with the most takeaways pretty much. So yes, hits matter more than we think, especially with the percentages these people play.

Overall, a lot of this seems like you just didn't do the right digging or didn't talk to the right people to actually get a full grasp of what the sim is outputting. It does give a good bit, it's just not a highly in depth simulation. That's just the compromise we've made. I'm sorry to see you leaving, as I do have great respect for you and I think you're a fun person to have around. But I understand the frustration and wish you the best.

Your last point is wrong about me not digging. I never cared what made a good player look at my guys ) my point was we have no stats for half the attributes. Even if PH is a shot blocking stat... forwards pretty much never shot block. Plus that makes Defense less relevant if sb is primarily PH. Me getting strength/skating mixed up for best stat is irrelevant to the fact neither are specifically visible in the sim.

Remember I was the one who put out all the shit on possession numbers so yes i dug through the sim index itself for stats

Though I'll edit op and say sim info is off.
