Emnet: National team Q&A

mikpj, you may wanna strive for 150-75-75 more so than 150-50-100 if my findings are correct for goalies.

That was problaly Canada's best pull so far. There are alot of good goalies out there. Look at Slovenias team.... 54 goaltending I think that is amazing

Why would he want 75 in PA? I want him to stop the pucks.

Well if he has 150-75-75 he will play better than 150-50-100 ask anybody?

If it works anything like HA, the passing stat for goalies means less rebounds.

The going theory is that the secondaries inhibit the primary if they don't meet a certain ratio. Most believe this ratio is 2:1:1, hence 150:75:75 is ideal.

That is, if you believe that... Which I do.

From the guide:
"Passing: This attribute is important for all the players just like technique. For goalie, this attribute represents his ability to use his stick, not only to make passes, but also to eliminate scoring chances of the opponent."

Just FYI, on top of what Saints said

Why 150/100/50? That is 3:2:1... trying a new ratio?

Which one would you want 150-100-50 or 150-75-75?

I prefer 4:3:2 so 150/115/75 something like that.

4-3-2 is my philosophy too, has worked for me so far this season.

I do 100-1-1. Which is why I didn't make playoffs.

I like 150-115-75 GL-TC-PA.

Is this good for everyone?

Ratios

As I wrote recently in another thread Canucks and I experimented with goalie attys and ratio in season 2. We both built 4:3:2 with me moving my guys forward incrementally. Canucks built "wide" which is to say he'd raise his primary 5 or more on goal then raise secondaries. When prime was more than twice the lowest secondary atty stars stopped moving. When you raised pass, the 3rd atty, the stars grew. This never fails. The relationship between the 2 secondaries and prime creates atty "recognition" with regaurd to stars.

You can have a 1 atty junk player with 100:20:20 that is useless. The reason is this players primary is recognized as 40 by the game engine.

Watched a perfect example of this in a scouted player on another team. The tender was 10:5:3 then the 3rd atty began being raised. Stars shot up for goal as a result.

The other part of our little test was putting more than 50% in both secondaries and again stars stopped moving. This is not to say there could be benifits in the game calculation for the extra secondary atty that some of us build in a 4:3:2 build.

Train him as you wish. I'm simply stating what my ideal ratio is and what I train my players to. Deadrick uses the same ratio... but there are many guys who would prefer 150/75/75...
