English Revisit our classics (Part 2)
As announced recently in the French version of the PPM Magazine, I plan to validate which strategy matchup is profitable in the long run in hockey. Of course, we are all aware that some strategies are better than other against a particular style of play. You can find a lot of info on this topic in the PPM Magazine itself. You can learn even more from a simple search on Google. But, are these conclusions valid since PPM offers the option of changing the style of play on a per period basis? That's the main question behind this second article. Read the article


English Factors that Lead to Wins in Hockey.
My goal in PPM sports is to ONE DAY have a JUGGERNAUT team. A team that is virtually unbeatable (at least in USA). However, so far in my PPM career, I’m far from a JUGGERNAUT. I do continue to grow, day-by-day, season-by-season. With my current teams, I can expect wins against many teams, unfortunately for me, I am still destined to humiliating losses when playing the likes of the Psychos, Razorback Thugs and other elite USA teams. For today’s article, I will examine factors that could lead to a team’s chances at winning a game. I plan to examine the effect of team strength, overall team rating (OTR), game importance settings, and home ice advantage. Anyone who has played PPM for even a few weeks ponders questions relating to success. Can I expect to be competitive with teams who have higher team strength that mine? Does home ice advantage help me win? Is my high OTR why I am winning? Hopefully, I can provide some statistics to consider about these questions. Read the article
