Time percentage (How much lines play)

[lightninggm]

So my question, maybe complaint has to do with the wanted vs. real percentage for lines.

The Northfolk Admirals are still in the AsHL playoffs so it would be a good time to shorten the bench and get the 1st line and 1st pair some more time. I lowered the time for the 4th line and 3rd pair.

Results (Averaged over last 14 playoff games)

           WANTED   REAL
1st Line   36         32.42857143
2nd Line  34         30.5
3rd Line   28         27.14285714
4th Line   4           9.714285714

1st Pair   40.71      36.42857143
2nd Pair   36          34.21428571
3rd Pair   23.28      29.14285714
4th Pair   0            1.25

I realize some variation is to be expected but 3 1/2 minutes is a lot and that 4th line is also taking time from the others.

Does this part of the sim even work? This is the first time I've checked because I wanted the 1st line to get minutes from my sucky 4th line.

I think you need to take into account special teams and who is on those lines and how much ice time they are getting to answer your question.

[LAKingsGM]

Special teams and fatigue also play roles as well. Those percentages that you want are mere suggestions to the coach. Think of it that way. Also, the higher the percentage, the more fatigue that could happen with those lines. Something to think about.

I think special teams is the answer your looking for. Go back to those same games and check out how many times you were killing a penalty...obviously the first line is not going to be out there blocking shots lol so the percentage you set in the client vs what actually happens in the game will vary almost infinity depending on your teams discipline. As mentioned above, the slider is a suggestion of how to divvy up the 5 on 5 minutes only.

You wanted 102% for your forwards? I think a numbers off in there.

He was trying to "give it 110%" lol. Actually came up a bit short
