Dual PT announcement: https://simulationhockey.com/showthread.php?tid=119074

Please pick ONE prompt to write about. Do not mix and match prompts. Identify the prompt you are using in your submission (free words!)

PROMPT 1- Pull up your player page, you're gonna need it. You wake up one SHL morning and something feels... off. As you do when something feels off, you immediately check your attributes and find something incredibly strange. All of the numbers for your skills have been flipped around! An advantage for some, a disadvantage for others, it has been confirmed by HO this is a bizarre experiment for parity and will be permanent.

Stat changes are as follows:

If you had a 5, it is now 50. (treating it like 05)
6->60
7->70
8->80
9->90
10->01
11->take a wild guess
12->21
13->31
14->41
15->51
16->61
17->71
18->81
19->91
And if you were unfortunate enough to have a 20 in any category, it is now 02.

Written Task: Explain how this changes your build and your new strengths and weaknesses. J players will likely be insanely OP so enjoy that. Does this change affect your scoring? Defense? Speed? Hitting? How do you think a season would go with these changes? Are you now a surefire Hall of Famer? (150+ words)

Graphic Task: Depict your player and another player on the ice reacting to these changes. Include 2 speech bubbles and 1 graphic edit to the image (doesn't matter what)

PROMPT 2- If you don't understand the previous prompt, don't feel like pulling up your player page, or that one doesn't sound fun to write about, try this prompt.

Written Task: Talk about the FHM attributes you value in your player. What are you looking to train over the season. Over your career? What kind of player do you want to ultimately build and how do you want your player to be remembered. If you are regressing, feel free to look ahead to a future player of yours or reflect on the player you once were.(150+ words)

Graphic Task: Create a sports channel-esque graphic depicting your player in an action shot and 3 strengths and 2 weaknesses for your current player, your player a few seasons down the line, or your player when they were in their prime.

You will receive 3 TPE for fulfilling all requirements.

All responses are due on Sunday, September 19st at 11:59 CST.

First of all, this just reaffirms my theory that getting a twenty in a stat is not worth it.

Thankfully, Roach only has one stat at 11 and none at 10 so he does not get screwed by these changes. The things he is already really good at, like getting open and reading the plays on both ends of the ice, he is suddenly god tier at doing those things. He also is suddenly an incredible skater, despite his general lack of skill in that department. One thing this does for sure is undoubtedly make Roach one of, if not the best two way forwards in the entire league. He is strong on his skates and has the ability to remove people from the puck either with his body or his stick, and is also an elite weapon in the offensive zone. This change would hopefully let Roach win a Dar but probably not since they don't give it out to players on good teams.

Prompt 2

When I created Miguel, I went with the idea that he would be a playmaker in the sense that he would be able to read the ice, especially on the offensive side, and put his teammates in the best position to score. I did not care if Miguel scored a goal or not, just that the team did. To that end, the most important FHM stats (to me at least) are passing, puckhandling, and offensive read. In fact they are currently the 3 highest stats for Miguel at 17. I also wanted Miguel's 'core' skills to be solid, so his physical ratings are all at least 15, with stamina being 17. It doesn't matter how good you are if you are too gassed to play! As a center, one would think that faceoffs are very important, but many of the best centers do not have a high faceoff stat so mine is still just 13. Since I'm playing wing this season, I've also boosted my shooting accuracy to 15, although I would have eventually even if I only played center. Hopefully, my build will allow Miguel to be remembered as the ultimate team player!
