PT 2 - Player Progression

So you're back again for more TPE, eh? What are you going to do with all those points once you've earned them?

Written option: Give us your projected build at 350 TPE. In at least 150 words, explain your reasoning however you want. (Hint: look at the sim and see what the players at the top of the leaderboards are doing and/or ask your GM for tips.)

Graphic option: Make a hockey card with the attributes you're aiming to have at 350 TPE. Must include a render.

Reward
4 TPE for doing the thing. (Just one of the options, not both.)

Only S52 SMJHL Rookies (S53 SHL Rookies) are eligible for this PT.

Do NOT claim TPE for this task until a post has been made in the claim thread.

Deadline Sunday 2/9 @ 10pm EST

End goal is something along the lines of being a big body/distributor so I looked at those with the highest assist totals. Noticed that for forwards (and I guess defensemen), puck handling being high was one of the common factors. Saw as well from one of the rookies posting trends in points in regards to stats that defense appeared to be positively correlated with scoring and in general, that does line up with the advice I've been given that decision making stats in this sim are particularly important.
So starting off, going to focus hard on both puck handling and defense so that my player's positioning in all areas improves, puck handling to be able to hold onto the puck and find those key opportunities. Passing should probably be higher in order to encourage my player to pass more as well as being able to complete those passes, but I didn't want to leave scoring in the ditch despite it being a weakness so that's something else to look forward to down the road.

I have heard that there is couple of different school of thoughts how you build your goalie. One is more "top heavy" build where you put almost all of your points towards primary abilities (reaction time, hand speed and style control). The other idea is more balanced build where your secondary abilities (size, agility and

skating) are more close to your primaries.

I'm going towards more balanced build where my primaries are hitting above 80 points and my secondaries at 75 points expect skating which is my weakness. I'm trying to hit skating at 70 so it won't fall behind too much. I also value rebound control so I don't give up, you know.. so many rebounds. Puck handling I give only some attention because I think it will be fine at 70. Penalty shot is also fine at 60 for now because not many players give it any attention.

Hottest setup for the all-star playmaker I am slowly becoming. All unnecessary points will be redistributed from checking, strength, and endurance to free up points to create the ultimate build. Obviously you need 80 in passing, defense, puck handling, and skating. These are all the major stats for a passer. Scoring will be left at 65 because if I am scoring then I am not getting assists. This is detrimental to my goal of becoming all time assists leader. The rest of the stats are for babies that are uninterested in becoming all time assist leader so they do not need any points. Why need penalty shot if you just win games in regulation? Face offs are for losers. You cant get an assist off a face off. Fighting? Useless time that could be spent passing. Endurance? Just grab 10 assists in the first period and chill for the rest of the game. Strength? My only strength should be passing.

I've tried to style my player as an offensive defenceman. One day I'm hoping he could be comparable to Erik Karlsson.

With this in mind I had to focus on two main areas: skating and passing. Therefore I added as much as I could to these two areas. Unfortunately it meant that I had to sacrifice a bit on puck handling, defence, and scoring. I'm hoping that adding to passing will help offset the sacrifice of puck handling, and I'm hoping the addition to skating will be able to make up for the lack of defence and scoring ability. My thinking is that typically the defence is the genesis of the offence, but not necessarily the finishing touch. This leads me to think that a solid ability to move the puck and get it to the right people will more than offset a lack in scoring ability. Once my player progresses even further then perhaps I will starting bringing up the scoring ability but for now that's not my focus.

When I am capped at 350 TPE, I will hope to continue to refine my game in the areas where I am already strong. Here’s a breakdown of my current attributes, and where they’re going to go –

CURRENT BUILD
SK = Skating: 55
DU = Durability: 50 (do not add TPE here, injuries are turned off)
EN = Endurance: 50
SZ = Size: 57
AG = Agility: 80
RB = Rebound Control: 80
SC = Style Control: 80
HS = Hand Speed: 81 3/5
RT = Reaction Time: 80
PH = Puck Handling: 54
PS = Penalty Shot: 50

FINISHED BUILD
SK = Skating: 55
DU = Durability: 50 (do not add TPE here, injuries are turned off)
EN = Endurance: 51
SZ = Size: 60
AG = Agility: 80
RB = Rebound Control: 85
SC = Style Control: 85
HS = Hand Speed: 85
RT = Reaction Time: 90
PH = Puck Handling: 54
PS = Penalty Shot: 50

As you can see, the reaction time attribute will see the most love, and I’ll round out my other core attributes to 85. I am eager to see how this sort of build will work with a strong Carolina team. I think these four to five attributes are the core attributes for a successful SHL goaltender in STHS. In the grand scheme of things however, I probably won't even see this build because of the likely move to FHM. I am excited to see the next PT where I build that maxed out build.
