I’ve been playing these games since HLM20 and every year gets better. The addition of making your own leagues is plain awesome, and the quality of the day just keeps getting better. Just had a couple of thoughts on how to improve the game.
1. Adding hits could be cool (could be influenced by an aggressiveness trait) but might not be feasible.
2. For some reason a 99 offense mcdavid or Makar do not dominate the league, so could be patched to make more realistic.
3. Not quite sure why I need 14 F and 7 D per league level to send players down a league. I play with the NHL, AHL, and ECHL, and can’t always move players down to the most appropriate league because of this issue.
4. Maybe addresses the above, but have a custom setting (maybe for the pro version) to increase the number of contract spots? Especially if I use several minor leagues associated with the NHL, this could help me fill out my team and for every other team to not be over the contract limit with my custom roster.
5. Shorthanded points would be cool.
6. Increased power play points to make more realistic.
7. To help with the above, penalty minute more reflective of discipline. Players with lower penalty minutes should easily be getting 100+ pims. Maybe make discipline a colored stat (blue, green, yellow, light red, dark red) like the motivation colors.
Those are all the suggestions I have for now. I truly love this game and you’ve done an amazing job. Looking forward to HLM 24 already!
