It's always exciting when you start building a player from the beginning. With a new sim engine, it opens up a ton of possibilities. From the looks of the screenshot, things could get very interesting. There are a ton of attributes that you can improve. It's a lot more in depth than STHS, that's for sure.

An example is the defensive side of the puck. Instead of just having a defense attribute, there's specifics that you would need to improve. Things like stick checking, shot blocking, and positioning are all included and those could play a big role in separating players in the SHL. Now there is more of a chance of having two way players rather than everyone being a two way player because they have so much TPE.

I think, if done right, moving to a new sim engine could bring that variety of players that we have been clamouring for here in the SHL. We just have to make sure that it's suitable for our league and we have to implement it properly from the beginning and not rush into such a big change. I'm hoping it works out because the variety is very appealing.
