Honestly, this doesn't change my build much at all. Darrow remains defensively stout as heck with 81s in checking, positioning, stickchecking, and defensive read, while having solid offensive game with 71 or 81s in Getting Open, Passing, Puckhandling, and Offensive Read. If this change had been flipping 20s for 5s, 7s for 18s, etc, that would change my build dramatically. This however really doesn't change a ton. That being said, my shooting accuracy is now very bad compared to everything else (a testament to SHL defensemen being capped at 12). This change also makes Darrow's slowed skating more pronounced, though he's as solid in his own end as he's ever been. I think Darrow would still be a solid contributor with this build, maybe scoring fewer goals and picking up some additional penalties (both things I'm not fond of).

This experiment really incentivized min-maxing as many stats to 19s as possible and then move everything else you can to 9s, so it flip flops into everyone being 90-91s like this is NHL 2k6 or some silliness like that! With our current update scale, it only takes 1909 TPE to get 10 stats to 19s and all the rest to 9s. Interesting.
