At this point each team has played around 10 games. Since we now do our own ratings I wanted to do a comparison to see where we're at in some statistics in relation to last season at the same games played point. These are just the stats that we have control over based on sliders...
Goals Per Game: 2012-13 - 2.92 League Avg. 2013-14 - 3.13 League Avg.
Shots Per Game: 2012-13 - 27.47 League Avg. 2013-14 - 27.87 League Avg.
PIM Per Game: 2012-13 - 10.08 League Avg. 2013-14 - 9.13 League Avg.
Hits Per Game: 2012-13 - 21.92 League Avg. 2013-14 - 21.69 League Avg.
Goals are up slightly, but over an 82-game season it's only about 17 more goals per team, which really isn't much. Overall I think everything is pretty damn close, if not spot on! The one thing I did notice is that it does seem that D scoring is up a bit, but other than adjusting D ratings I don't see how that could be changed. As well we have to take into considertion the ratings being based not on a full NHL season, which could have something to do with it.
Just wanted to see how everyone was feeling about everything overall so far.....

I think it looks great. I actually like that scoring is up a bit. It's great to have control of our own ratings. It's going to make the off-season so much smoother going forward. Thanks, Jake.

Gotta agree with Joe here.
I am pretty happy with those stat lines.
IMO the goal (both in JGHL and NHL) should be to have around 3 gpg. We could see some regression here too.
For now id say steady as she goes, and awesome job Jake, Jon and Gavin (and others).

I did a quick check of the average goals per game in the NHL for 2011/12 and 12/13. They were both 2.65. So the raise in goals for per game this season could be due to the ratings, or to the small sample size. I'd like to see where it is in another 10 games.
Either way, I'm OK with the increase in scoring. We could always just reduce the goals slider.
It is a bit of a relief the ratings seem to be working well. Hopefully that means not many changes will need to be made next season!

The one thing I did notice is that it does seem that D scoring is up a bit Tell that to Shea Weber who got his first assist today and now has a whopping 3 points on the season. Seriously though, overall I think everything looks good!

Seriously though, overall I think everything looks good! Buff only has 6 assists as well, I'm expecting a hat trick to bring his numbers up to par any game now, lol.

Does anyone else think PIM to defensemen is down this year? I thought it was kind of crazy last year. You'd get 60-70 DI defenseman getting several times as many PIM as a sub-50 DI forward.

For example last year:
Chara - 64 DI - 177 PIM Seidenberg - 77 DI - 121 PIM Stuart - 81 DI - 119 PIM
Ott - 33 DI - 92 PIM Hartnell - 45 DI - 104 PIM Lucic - 45 DI - 90 PIM
I know differences in ice time in our league vs. the NHL would effect PIM quite a bit, but in the case of the players I listed above all were utilized similarly here as in the NHL.
This year, Chara only has 2 PIM in 10 games on my team. Didn't look at others, but wanted to know if anyone had noticed a difference. Chara's DI actually went down from 64 to 50 this season too.

That's definitely interesting. Obviously I have no answer why Chara only has 2PIM but it's harder to figure when you are just picking one player (kinda like why does Shea Weber only have one assist?), especially when you look and see that avg. PIMs per team/game is basically the same.
On the other side of it, if you look at the individual leaders, 11/15 for most PIMs are defensemen. And if I output even further, 22/30 are D.

Last year 15/15 of the the top PIM players were defensemen! I'm not sure how to get the top 30. Anyways it bothered me, so hopefully it is fixed.

I'm not sure how to get the top 30. You can't. I adjusted the player output number in the sim so I could take a look.

One thing for next year is I would really like it if DI was not affected by 10-minute misconducts. They are handed out like candy in the NHL now and aren't an accurate assessment of the average number of penalties a player really takes, it kinda unfairly skews the number downwards. Nobody should have a DI in the 20's, that just ridiculous

Most our enforcers seem to be in the 30's, which is right on. I was lookin that over last night, cause I was thinkin about bringing up Bollig today againest Carolina, since he has several players with very low cd's, I thought I could help add a few injuries. LOL
I'm happy with our ratings, I think on the whole they seem inline.

I had a look at the Penalty minute stats and I think the reason defensemen get more penalty minutes in this league than in the real NHL is there is a lot less fights. There have only been 18 fights in 135 games this season in the JGHL (.13 fights per game) comapared to 609 in 1230 NHL games (almost .50 so far this season. Defenseman always get more minor penalties than forwards and a lot of your big fighters are forwards.
Some of this can be blamed on the fact that with 26 teams instead of 30, some enforcers get less ice time and less opportunity to pick up fighting majors. But there may also be something wrong with our fight slider (if there is such a thing) or the the way the simulator is working.
To illustrate, here's a list of plays known to drop the gloves on a regular basis (and have FG ratings over 70) and are getting regular ice time this season with their number of fights so far this season in the JGHL:
Mark Fraser - 0 Derek Dorsett - 0 Milan Lucic - 0 Tim Gleason - 0 Steve Ott - 0 Zack Smith - 0 Mat Hendricks - 0 Gregory Campbell - 0 Brandon Prust - 1 Cody McLeod - 0 Antoine Roussel - 0 Zach Kassian - 0 Deryk Engelland - 0 Ryan Reaves - 0 Clayton Stoner - 0 Arron Asham - 0
So I'm thinking this could be the reason that the PIM totals are skewed to the defensemen. I didn't look at last year, but I suspect we'd find the same thing.
