Asunto: Questions & Answers

Last season I was on first place in my league on power play goals, with 26.35%. Now, I have only 4.55%.
Is anything changed in GE?

Ask again when you have played all teams one time. It's way to early to compare from last season.

My numbers so far:
Last season PP% 29.21, PK% 90.57
This season PP% 53.57, PK% 71.43

nothing has changed in this regard.

Thanks.

I have sell few players 112 day ago. Question is: How many days i must wait, that my taxes going down? 7-8 day? They goes down when it reads 112 days, or day later "113"?

you can sell them after 112 days has passed, so on the 113th day.

really liking this new engine where playing of vlow means that your team struggles to win against weaker opponents!

I may need to start thinking about my tactics again rather than just playing vlow the whole regular season and vhigh during the playoffs.

I'm in the same boat. Much love for the increased influence on importance. I've found low and normal to be adequate. If someone wants to burn energy playing VH go nuts. I'll hand you the points on a silver platter.

Is this new this season?
I've been playing V.Low and not blowing out teams like I should.

Yes they changed it for this season, It has been said in the news several times. Nobody just did not know how much it will effect. after two weeks it can still be random , but some effect it surely has

Well if they implemented separated NT energy, this game importance tweak is quite logical step.

I don't like the different energy for NT.
It takes away an important and realistic aspect.

I may have to be more careful with my energy settings if my V.Low hurts me that much.

I haven't seen much reality in last WCC, so what should I say why it happened ? Energy ? Bad day(s) ? Little green men ? If you chase reality, you're getting nowhere.
Exhausted players (in this game) should perform the same as those players who are fit, if they are on the same levels of strength in that moment, not by skills, but by the strength calculation of course. Or at least not to underperform big time.
There will always be 10 fit players and 10 exhausted, and rest of 30 always have acceptable energy for WCC. So where is the difference between now and then ?
Special energy helps us with 2 things - not having so much cheating in games, and that both NT managers and club managers can relax a bit in one season minding NT.

Dude... you make no sense.
How does two levels of energy reduce cheating?

Also, the goal of playing sim games like this is to imitate reality and make a functional game.

In real hockey, the energy is a major factor. The NHL doesn't want their players going to the Olympics for that reason.

Before people tend to play more Vlow because of NT. Now we don't have to do that. NT managers don't have to encourage people to play lower than they would usually play. I'm not mentioning cheating in transfers, but playing games in strange fashion.
Also, You can't mimic reality 100%. You can't make transfers behind closed doors, can't lure a player to sign because you are managing more popular club or your club is from more attractive country or league, there are no cash injections from the wealthy owner, your tickets shouldn't be more expensive than mine, food, beverage, fan shop items, loaning skyboxes should be the same, more popular clubs shouldn't have best staff (everyone should have the opportunity to have them if they have enough cash), and so on.
You can't also compare NHL with any PPM league. It's not realistic.
Huge disparity like between NHL and SLO hockey league shouldn't exist in PPM at all. Differences between I leagues in PPM should be smaller of course, therefore we can't draw parallels between reality and PPM.
The only question is what's more appropriate for most of users here, to have special energy or not ? I think it's nice to have it, if it turns out as a bad idea then they should change it to old, or find other solution. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the way I see it.
