Site update details:
Improved Virtual Player Evolution
Each attribute now has its own formula for improved realism. Investments in players development are now having their own negative-evolution if you do not invest to a minimum. The overall evolution expectancy now varies depending of a player age and player development investments.
Virtual Evolution for Cities (NEW) [also used by Real evolution leagues]
Each attribute has its own formula, but Popularity is the attribute that can vary the most. There are four main factors that influence the popularity of your team in your city: Performance of the team, players quality, individual trophies awards and the competition with other major sports. The sum of the four factors represents the evolution of the Popularity attribute.
Virtual Evolution for Coaches (NEW)
Coach attributes evolve according to their team performances on the ice, using team statistics such as Powerplay %, Penalty Kill %, Goals for, Goals against, position in the standings, etc.
New players retirement formula for Virtual evolution leagues
We added an additionnal field in the players page "Retirement %" that is calculated automatically after every player evolution, using two factors: Player age and Overall (OV) attribute. For each combination of those two factors, a percentage is determined and displayed at the player page. Players retire after the playoffs, once you get to the off-season step.
Added possibility to schedule 2 or 3 sims times a day, automatically. *BETA* (contact us if you want to try it for your league)
Our simulation engine can now be programmed to simulate 1, 2 or 3 automatic simulations per day. The commissioner sets up the sim times and bingo, all you have to do is logon and see the results of the simulation, no other action needed!
