Same as a pennant in soccer. Just something to collect and give to your opponents.

When a team folds... does the players on that team leaves? Because the powerhouse that was suppose to win it all this year before me folded and his OTR is now in the low 20s (except shooting) but that team still has it's 500 OR players.

It used to depend on their OR if they hit the market. Chances are they are just being played in the wrong position. Check his game summaries to see

Actually, his lineup is the same. I haven't checked every line though, but his 1st line are all players above 500 or near. Only 21 puck in offense and defense. I remember that he had more than 40 since he came from 3.2.

Is it normal because it's now (or will be) a no-name team? I don't mind, because he was the only reason I couldn't move up this year.

It would be an auto lineup meaning top OFF is LW. 2nd OFF is C. 3rd OFF is RW 4th OFF is LW2 etc. Which would destroy his pucks if his Cs played W and W played C. I'd imagine his ratings would be higher so maybe the effective ability of the players is changed. No clue.

I'm not sure if there was already a discussion on this somewhere but i haven't been able to find it but I'm not sure that my assumptions about which special teams to use are correct. I've got:
Diamond beats Umbrella
Passive box beats Point Shots
Active Box beats Overload
Point Shots beats Active Box
Umbrella beats Passive Box
Overload beats Diamond

is that about right it your opinion or am I all off here?

We need more stats to figure it out exactly. Until then it's only speculation at this point. All we have is what logically makes sense. Not sure if what you have there makes the most sense but you have a generally good idea.

I hope the stats will be available soon cause my special units really sucks this season and have already cost me many points. Especially my PK at 61.76%, worst of active teams in II.4

I have really no idea why I suck so much. I have started to increase defense for fwds and passing for wingers. I also work on offense for defs in order to improve PP, although it's not as bad as PK.

Are there other teams experiencing big decrease in PP or PK effectiveness? Any clues?

The data is available for those who want to gather it all. Just randomly gather tons of data from different games.

I'd hope someone with programming skills would write some code to grab these automatically, which would be much more efficient... I have seen already some stats compiled by someone and shared on a French forum, but nothing really conclusive. I can't find it again and I don't remember what the sample size was...

Anyways, I'm under the impression that tactics might only be a part of my PK problem, since no tactic seems to work. I suspect something related to the lack of defense from my fwds or something like that.

Well, I have no clue after all .

Are all your PK guys well experienced players?

lol

How about actually putting input into the discussion? clearly you find something amusing, if you know the answer to alex's issue, speak up and get involved.

Just teasing you a bit. ^^

My question is:

when you scout a player his attributes (AQ or the lower left number) decreased but it is possible that they increase ?
