Prompt 1:

This HO parity decision transformed Nystrom from a scoring power forward into an absolute psychopath with no regard for his own physical well-being whatsoever. His two highest stats are now a whopping 90, the second-highest possible under the new system, in Shotblocking and Bravery. Nystrom will launch himself from redline to blueline with the explicit intent of taking a slapshot to the face, all so his goalie doesn't have to suffer the inconvenience of facing a low danger knucklepuck. It makes a certain amount of sense that his next-highest stat is aggression at 80, since you'd have to have a certain amount of pent-up negative emotions and some kind of traumatic backstory in tandem to justify that kind of decision making. Unfortunately, with a statline full of some of the lowest possible scores a player can have in this brave new world, Nystrom is hot dog doodoo on defense and whenever asked to pass a puck. Fortunately, his bread and butter scores of getting open and shooting the damn thing are still decent at 51. And, rationally, he clocks with a 50 in fighting. Given that this league is suddenly full of Mike Tyson wannabees with fighting scores in the 60s and 70s, this isn't necessarily a big deal, but given also that the game's intended maximum is 20, getting into a fight with some plebian AI player would still constitute an assault charge, if not a murder charge. GG HO. Nystrom went from a top two-way player in the junior league to a mediocre fighter and shot-blocker. Time to kiss my contract goodbye.
