2023-2024 Season Update!

  • Rosters for 2023-2024
  • Updates to many player attributes
  • Headlines screen now has correct date for each news item
  • Updated injuries to start the 2023-2024 season
  • Fixed bug where teams won't always draft best player available
  • New line change model; changes average time on ice
  • Shifts are now tracked, although not yet shown on front end
  • Improvements to scoring play algorithm; snipers/scorers are more likely to score and playmakers more likely to assist
  • Concept of game exhaustion is removed from the UI, but still exists internally, based on number of shifts played
  • If an AI team is up 2+ goals, they will lean towards defensive lines
  • Core, Journeyman, and Minor Leaguers are now slightly stronger
  • Slight increase to player values in their early 20s-late 20s
  • Franchise and Generational players now only have one position. This keeps the algorithm from always putting Tavares on the top line with Matthews, for example.
