Subject: Questions & Answers

I made a statement a couple of pages back. While there is some truth in his words, it is not as simple as he makes it. The game engine is the most complex part of this game.

Thank you...

So goalies will be a bit less important than they are now ?

TS indicator I think

Why team indicators will be adjusted ?
('only goaltending, which is the one that seems to be skyrocketing up under the current formula')

Just wanted to go back to this, you mentioned 9 (free agents) is implemented

Are there just no players old enough to qualify yet? And where will the Free Agent Market be, will they just show up in the player market or will there be a dedicated FA section?

Day is very long...

Can anyone answer to my question please.

This is hockey topic !

eldorado asked: 'will there be changed formula how is shooting calculated in overall strength of team? As it will become more important... '

Vlady answered: ' team strength indicators will be adjusted. But probably not shooting, only goaltending, which is the one that seems to be skyrocketing up under the current formula. '

Now, my question is: why will be an adjustment on goalkeeper indicator if same formula is applied for all teams, but more important, if goalkeeper indicator has no influence on game engine ? Vlady stated some time ago that every play is calculated individually, based on players' attributes involved in that specific play (and not on some team indicators).
This change occurs due to the fact that some teams have a high number of stars on goalkeeper indicator and there is no more space to add more stars ?

I hope you understand my issue now...

Heh, sorry i thaught i saw soccer
Thae can change only goaltending indicator, but that doesnt mean that it will have an impact on the game. Maybe now the formula to show goalie strenght is devidet with lets say 3, on the next calculation it will be devidet with 4.

yes, it's only going to be an optical change. the reason is that the goaltending indicator is the highest one for most teams and not proportionate to the shooting attribute. We will make it a little more balanced, nothing more.

I got that but ... why ?
I work as a tester and I know that when somethings works ok...there is no need for a change !


Edit: Got it now. Thanks Vlady.

that's right. player must be 26 to reach FA status. No players like that yet, but they will soon be there. The players will be listed in the regular Market page, but they will be marked of course.

don't recall stating at all that i didn't believe you. i was just noting your lack of data to support your statements. while vlady can confirm some of what your talking about, having no specifics and offering huge changes isn't quite conducive to getting people to back you up.
