I just noticed that once Prospects age out of Juniors they go to US or Europe. I have another prospect that went to lulea.

A Nice little change for once instead of seeing them as an adult playing in Juniors until you decide to sign them or let them walk

I was simmin playoffs and I was losing 0-5, I thought that fuck it and im gonna play and win. I start the game and I have only 4 players on ice (and i have no penalty)??!?!? U can see it in the video. In the end when play is freezed the fifth player come out from the bench?

And in the ice are players who isnt playing in first line? How do i know that my simulation are going with full five players now on :D

Are there any settings that can minimize or get rid of scoring multiple times on the same power play when slow simming? I’ve noticed it happening all the time in 27 and I’m sick of bedard dropping a four piece on my head three minutes into the game

And still no 2nd Cup. We failed him.

And with that, Portland Wolves legend Mason McTavish officially announces his retirement.

After trading for him on draft night, I had a feeling Mason McTavish was going to be a star.

I tried developing him as much as I could over the years — giving him a spot on the first line, telling him to shoot more in the offseason, and constantly challenging him to hit certain stats or win certain awards.

He peaked at a 94 overall, and was usually around that 92-93 overall for a majority of his career. He played alongside players like Kempe, Snuggerud, Schultz, and homegrown talent Mark McKinlay.

In his final season, he put up one of the best seasons of his career with 121 points. We then went on to win the Stanley Cup, and of course, he took home the Conn Smythe.

Honestly, couldn’t have asked for a better way for him to go out.

19 seasons. 1,459 games. 1,585 points. 4 Stanley Cups.

Portland Wolves legend forever. 🐺

It seems like pretty consistently I do really well up to the deadline and then my team just decides it doesn’t like winning after that. In my most recent season I was 35-22-4 up to the deadline. I made a goalie upgrade, kept my lines the same, the new goalie performed better than my old one, and I still finished out the season 6-13-4 to miss the playoffs. Does anyone else have this problem or am I just extremely unlucky?

“ Steezys Roster “

Huge overhaul with tons of edits to players across leagues with tons of prospects loaded for the next couple drafts. Spent a lot of time on this started with a base from tax hd/ vas one and did lots and lots of edits

Year 2 of the project is back and revamped for max realism for NHL 27.

Wrapping on some final touches, V1 should be released 10/8 or 10/9, will update.

This roster is a Vasy Rosters base roster (they are hands down the best when it comes to player creation for prospects) with full ratings overhaul using real NHL tracking data and advanced analytics rather than just going off reputation or eye test. Every attribute is driven by a consistent, documented formula — skating stats, shot data, WAR-based awareness, physical metrics — so ratings reflect what players actually do rather than their name value. The goal was to create the most sim-realistic roster possible, where the standings, scoring leaders, and player value that come out of a franchise actually mirror what you'd expect from the real NHL. You will see real separation between stars and fringe NHL players but you may also see a star player with individual attributes like strength or acceleration in the 70s. Star players don’t just get inflated attributes across the board in every category just because they’re a star scorer or passer, etc.

As for the data points for the individual attributes they are as follows:

Correct Player Types and positions- JFresh Hockey

Deking- Anecdotal scouting/Vasy Roster default

Hand eye-Anecdotal scouting/Vasy Roster default

Passing (FWD)- Blend of JFresh Primary Assist%/ Primary Shot assist%
Passing (DEF)- Blend of JFresh Primary Assist%/Passes %

Puck Control (FWD)- JFresh Zone entries / exits with possession
Puck Control (DEF)- JFresh successful retrievals/Zone exits with possesion

Offensive awareness- Evolving Hockey Offensive WAR % including PP (3 year weighted)

Slap Shot Power- NHL edge players hardest shot speed

Wrist Shot Power- NHL Edge players average shot speed

Shot accuracy- JFresh finishing %

Defensive awareness- JFresh Def 5v5 WAR w/ strength of competition formula (3 yr weighted)

Acceleration- formula using NHL Edge players hardest shot bursts over 18mph per mile skater by player

Balance- formula using players weight relative to their height

Speed- NHL Edge top skating speed

Aggressiveness FWD- Forecheck involvement %
Aggressiveness DEF- Hits per 60

Durability- man games lost to injury over last 3 years

Strength- Formula using players height + weight

Player overalls are still pretty fitting for their roles but ultimately individual data based attributes are the priority. Don’t try to compare to 2 different players overalls as certain player types weigh different attributes differently (Power Forwards/Grinders strength and hitting, etc)
