For what it's worth Tward13 I both understand and agree with your point regarding use of % when setting ES lines, even if this might occassion the use of some rudimentary math skills to translate in equivalent minutes...
It would I think also be easier to effect in-game changes in the ice time allocation between your lines if you wanted to juggle that due to game conditions. For example let's say sometime in the third period and you're maybe well ahead or too far behind so you might want to change the ice time given some lines and simply changing the % to be applied for the remainder of the game would be a lot easier / quicker than parsing the remaining game time between lines. Maybe there is someway to have the equivalent ES minutes be shown as well as you change the %, this would also help in the scenerio described above.
Or barring that perhaps the developers will take up Bluenoser suggestion to allow the user to pick either minutes or %, depending on their preference.
But if I may, I would like to return to my earlier post regarding how does this work if you want to fashion your game strategy on line matching. By definition if you line match you are largely letting the opposition dictate the ES minutes your lines will play, so I guess my question is 1) can you in fact line match as a game option? 2) if so, can it be toggled on / off during the game, or once set it remains for the whole game? and 3) if on, does this then negate the ES LT settings for your various lines as long as it's in effect?
Sorry for length of post.
