More Attributes (Shot Accuracy, Shot Power, etc.)

Feature Request

For HLM 27 there should be more attributes for players.

I reckon you could send suggestions of attributes in here too

Perhaps the developer will read them, so that he knows what attributes we’re talking about

I posted one on Reddit:

For skaters theres only 6 attributes and for goaltenders theres only one. I feel like skaters should have the attributes: shooting (power, accuracy, etc), passing, skating (speed acceleration, etc), physicality (hitting, fighting skill, strength, etc), puck skills (deking, handling, etc), offensive and defensive awareness, shot blocking, and stick checking. And goalies don’t need too specific of attributes but I feel they should have the attributes: glove, stick, pads, and maybe even poise. Maybe could even add some more player specialties. Hopefully some of this gets added into HLM27 or maybe just an update to HLM26 and make the new attributes
toggle-able in settings.

The problem i have with having so many attributes is that for a game like this, where there isn’t gameplay like in EA NHL, what do those stats do? It’s not like you can actually see how powerful or accurate the shot is, and stick checking, well you would never see your player stick check. It would make it harder for roster creators to maintain and update their rosters

I agree with this. Though you could argue stick checking is already kind of covered by Defensive Awareness, and Speed by Offensive Awareness. Even if they became their own separate ratings, it would just be splitting awareness into two pieces. The total sim impact stays the same.

They don’t really do much in the sim besides affecting a player’s overall. The real challenge is finding the right balance between attributes that actually matter in the sim and not adding so many that editing rosters becomes a nightmare.
