Yikes all this negativity on @James Truong birthday. Instead of being so negative let's all take the time to wish the league's biggest flirt a happy birthday!

That’s literally how he acts all the time idk why you’re surprised. He’s one of the reasons i stepped down lmao

This gave me a good laugh. We shared like one season in GM chat and barely talked to each other. You called me out for tampering which was easily disproven and then you packed a sad.

Prompt 2

The Franchise Hockey Manager system does a pretty decent job of mimicking the game of hockey in a simulation format. At the very least, I can tell that the developers have actually seen a game of hockey before, unlike the developers of other sim engines used in sim leagues across the community (Wolverine Studios, ugh). My biggest issue with how the sim treats the game of hockey is in how it looks at goalies and goalie performance. Goalies obviously have attributes, same as skaters, but those attributes seem to have little impact in their actual performance in the game, at least in terms of current attribute limits used now. Goalies with near-max attribute struggle, while those with relatively low attributes can dominate as long as the team around them is strong. This of course does happen in real life, but not to this extent. Goalies then become little more than a barometer of the overall team strength, which isn't very compelling to the user base. There is also the way the system treats goals per game, where it tries to normalize the GAA averages across the league so they aren't too high, or too low. If you're on a bad team, your goalie could have a very high SV% because it faces a tremendous amount of shots, but also a very high GAA as well, given the amount of those shots. There has to be a better way to balance this and make it more true-to-life.

Thank you for your suggestion, we will do nothing. Please suck eggs.
