OMG will somebody please ban the word "random" from ever being used on this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. I understand people don't like the fact that not every single part of the game can be quantified and measured, but that's part of what makes the game fun.

Exactly. In life, "random" happens.. it's called human nature, bad luck, the gods smiling down... name it what you will, it's part of life and sports.

Remember that major error by Patric Stefan a few years back when he deked and missed an empty net, and the oilers then scored to tie the game? An NHL player making that blunder.. never! It was simply bad luck.

How about when Vesa Toskala missed a 200 foot goal? Something no goalie at ANY level should miss, but he did. It was again, simply bad luck.

The guys here at PPM strive to make this game as close to real as possible, but it's a game.. so the only way to take into account that human nature or bad luck is to allow a certain amount chance.

So those who complain about Random as if it's a bad thing need to realise that "random", or chance as it is more accurately termed is actually vital to the game in order to make it a BETTER game.

Agreed. I think they also don't realize the events that shape the game they call "random" are event by event items factored by skill, confidence, energy, etc so the events can be shaped by our decisions. So we can shape the "random" even if we can't control it.

better 100% pp.

oke alot of normal goals but had 3pp and 3 goals!

more like gauss. and we have reduced the fluctuation so you should consider that good news for you.

Did player salaries formula change today?
If yes, why there was no announcement?
If no, then there is a bug in salaries calculation.

Why changed ?
I have today and yestarday the same player salaries.

Only calculation for new/estimated contract has changed. Signed salaries are the same.

Bigger salaries from now on ?

Yes, if it's not a bug. I have noticed increases from 17% to 21%.

same here, player went up compared to yesterday's calculation (6.6 => 7.6) (he trained shooting, so no primary)

I would like to consider that "good news" for me, but there are still to much game results which shows that the random still have to much influence on the calculation. There is no CLEAR difference between "random" and "luck" in real life and i dont think that an online game engine can make a CLEAR distinction. I am not against this random/luck factor, but the influence shoud be decreased. If i see a world class team playing against a village team and has big problems to win, so its clear that something is wrong. You try to make a more realistic game. In reality the result would be 30:1, not 3:2 or 2:1 the faceoff statistic 52:3 not 30:25.

you are exaggerating now. either way, more updates are coming for season 8.
