Is there a cap on attributes like there is in STHS (with strength and weaknesses)? One thought I had would be perhaps to limit people to 18 unless their archetype unlocked that attribute as a capstone. To find out which stat that would be, just hover over the role in the Role ratings window. For example, the following are given as 'key' skills for their roles, denoted by a green text color:

Playmaking Defenseman: Passing
Rushing Defenseman: Speed
Quarterback: Offensive Read
Point Shooter: Shooting Range
Two-Way Defenseman: Positioning
Mobile Defenseman: Acceleration
Stay-at-Home Defenseman: Positioning
Crease-Clearing Defenseman: Strength
Punishing Defenseman: Hitting
Old-School Defenseman: Positioning

For right now we are working without any caps in the builds(Testing Team). Obviously HO will get to make the final decision but a point that was often brought up in the past was that we lacked build creativity and that archetypes with caps kind of limited that.

This will require further testing to see if the game autoretires old players even with the aging slider set to the no aging setting. If the game won't autoretire people or you can bring back autoretired people easily age will be a thing , if the game won't make it as easy we will just have a default age for everyone.

Sadly due to languages having an impact in the sim for now everyone will be created as a US born player and then get their nationality switched so they don't have a disadvantage in the sim. We asked the devs to make languages editable but they responded negatively.. who knows tho they might still implement it.
