Points too low over 16 years of play

Post by mpronger »

Here are the past 16 Art Ross winners, I realized we may not get 130-150 points, but only once hitting the 100 points (and he was the only one that season to do so) in 16 years I'm sure will not happen in real life NHL. I know SI toned it down a little in relation to the beta and the old version, but this is a little too much and I'm more surprised that nobody ever talks about this. A few of the years nobody even hit 90. That's..... sad :(

It's probably a tad low for less than 1% of the players (not sure if that's a database issue and/or a game issue that needs to be addressed).....it's also true that IRL the last 3 Art Ross winners combine for an average of 99 points per season, and Jamie Benn only had 87 points in 2014-15.....it's probably not talked about a lot as it only affects a handful of players (and as 2014-15 showed the lower numbers are not necessarily unrealistic), and if you look at the last NHL Challenge multiple participants had players top 100 points (including a 156 point season)

I'd say the main reason here is that the Goalies are currently too good (not in CA). There's a lot of goalies with .930 SV% etc. If they'd be more realistic. Players would score more.

I have the same problem, my top scorers have all been below 100.

For context, IRL this past year in the NHL one player broke 100 points and no one else broke 90 points, the year before no one broke 90 points, the year before that one player broke 100 and no one else broke 90 points - so IRL over the past three NHL seasons only twice has someone broke 90 points

Yes, I think that Nino is correct, those numbers don't seem low at all to me. They seem pretty much spot on.

Over the last 10 full NHL seasons only once did no-one reach 100 points. In the 16 seasons played in the game only once did someone reach 100 points. If that sounds right to some then :dunno:

OBS: In the lockout season St Louis had 60 points in 48, which would average to 102.5 over an 82 game season.

Hello,
I can somehow do that in matches fell more goals? So players to be more productive and achieve the best of more than 100 points in a season. For example, using EHM database editor?
Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you.
