Asunto: Questions & Answers

think more like dice combos. (such as in craps) you are least likely to roll snake eyes or 12, and most likely to roll a 7.

I think "random results" are mainly caused by different attribute balances between teams.

Main attribute monsters (e.g. 2-1-1) vs. good secondary attributes+good shooting creates confusion for the game engine and that makes results "random".

Ahh, gotcha, I've never played craps but I can see what you mean in that only 1 combination makes 2 or 12 whereas what 3 make a 7. Probability.

Well anyway, I wont be bandying the random word as often. It still might be random when it blurts out... oh darn darn darn darn darn.

I agree. Thats why the stars and pucks, while a good guide, are not the be all, end all

ironically, I use the word all the time in real life. I had an ex that used it a lot and I picked it up from her. Of course its in a completely different context.

To get technical, computers can't do true random, they use a function/algorithim that takes a variable input, like a date or the time and use it to create a randomly generated number. However there is no true Random in computers

Currently the Technique attribute has a very small influence on the outcome of the faceoff. The reason for that is to avoid a team with strong tech winning 50 out of 60 faceoffs which doesnt happen in real hockey. However, we admit that this influence is too small as it is right now and this is planned to be adjusted in the future along with some other improvements of the game engine.

that's the informatie we needed

i knew i'd read something like that somewhere and that someone much smarter than me would bring it up

exactly

thx Vlady

Random implies it's literally just an absolute luck type situation. I don't believe the system to be setup that way.

While things may appear random, i do believe that that "random" is always based on certain situations or scenarios created by the 2 teams playing at the time.

For that reason, it stops being pure randomness and becomes a case of scenario based probabilities, which I believe every game has in place.

The probability factor of your team beating a strong team might be higher than my team beating an equally stronger team because of events on your team, such as your chemistry, player skills, etc.

So in summary.. no, i believe random is the wrong word to use in this case. Probability factor is more accurate in my opinion.

Thanks for the info Vlady, I suspected that that might be the case.

is there anymore news about when soccer starts???

news will follow when vlady gets all the details

nice.. hope it be soon... 2 wonderful games in one.. if I use 10h of my wake time to play Ishockey I will play PPM 15h a day when it comes.. so excited!!!
