And an NHL goon can get the physical abilities that keep him employed in the top league in the world depicted independently of his hockey skill.
This for me is one of the really big features of FHM and one of the big reasons I'm really excited by this game. Of course it's early days and it's a complex game engine, but this particular feature is something that could be a very positive step forward to ensuring that the whole hockey world is more realistically rated.

Now it just falls on us researchers to ensure that we get all of the ratings correct!
