My personal feedback on the new attributes on Liiga:
Eetu Laurikainen - overrated, he had a great season but looking back that he was playing in the WHL for 2012-2014 and that he's such a young goalie I don't see him that good, if he was that good he would've played for Finland internationally
Jan Latvala - a bit overrated, I personally wouldn't rate a 42-year-old defenseman a top player in a national league
Jussi Markkanen - a bit overrated, would give him CA between 105 and 110
Brian Salcido - isn't such a great passer or a shooter, he tends to hold on the puck for too long and he also shoots a lot (often directly at the goalie), his passes never start a breakaway and are often plain simple, only in the offensive zone does he sometimes manage to surprise, his offensive zone positioning is his best asset, sometimes takes stupid penalties and joins small fights so his aggression could be higher
Lasse Lappalainen - no way is he that good of a shooter, more like average for Liiga at max
Johan Larsson - overrated, neither does he possess a good slapshot but rather a quick and a sharp wristshot, isn't so great defensively and sometimes passes the puck terrifyingly on the defensive zone (notorious for scoring in his own net the past two seasons)
Joni Suutari - underrated, hasn't played so often due to big injuries and is more a defensive than an offensive forward
David McIntyre - isn't such a big hitter
Jesse Mankinen - doesn't possess such a good wristshot despite scoring some numbers every season, isn't a cowardly player: blocks a bunch of shots and plays penalty kill all the time, thus should have better bravery
Juuso Riksman - overrated, only had a great spring this season and isn't one of the top goalies in Liiga anymore, I'd say his CA is 105 at max, he could even retire now
Teemu Aalto - overrated, his main asset is his slapshot but otherwise he isn't that good, his age should be considered
Teemu Lassila - a bit underrated, is still one of the top goalies in the league but played behind poor defense this season, is inconsistent though and loses his temper after letting in a couple of goals in a row: this shows as giving up his game
Matt Generous - overrated, simply isn't that good
Overall I see that the attributes are pretty much set for the player role each player has. But I don't understand why many of the players' attributes are so overstated. For instance, Valtteri Virkkunen has 16 in Pokecheck, 15 in Positioning and 14 in Checking. I agree that he's really a defensive forward, but is he really that good at that role? And are such great attributes even needed for a player whose CA is 88? Even the game itself modifies the players to fit the player roles so Virkkunen loses his offensive abilities even more while starting the game, thus making him nothing but a checking forward.
The problem here is that not every defensive forward is bad at attacking, they just won't go for it so often or play in a defensive role in their current team. Now the game pretty much sorts every player to fit their player role and all-around players are close to non-existent (excluding the NHL). I don't know if this is ''an issue'' within the game or the rating but nevertheless I wouldn't want to view players so strictly graded, every player is an individual.
Nevertheless thanks for the hard work!
Is that bug?
Same goes for Cardiff - we set them up last summer following the disagreement with the Devils. The names need to be changed back to the Devils following the collapse of the Fire (both the NIHL-1 and -2).
