I went as far as adding a "No Movement" clause to every teams Enforcer and Agitators such as the Rinaldo's of the league but they seem to always be demoted to the AHL for some odd reason. I love the physical side of the game and play Enforcers and Agitators faithfully.
Problem is the game hates anyone who is "tough" and non-fighters seem to be the ones who fight even though they're stats say otherwise... ahem... Semin / Yakobov etc...
I'm hoping they figure out a way to add some kind of value to these players as playing them is virtually useless at this point. Researchers have done a phenominal job on rating but when it comes to tough guys, they're seems to be an awful lot of bias for how much of a wuss Thorntons 12 rating is compared to a heavy weight like Tavares solid 13! lol =P
I'd like for them to balance this issue out as soon as they can as the games are becoming more and more stale physically. A feature that will let us select players individually and assign the role of who fights and who doesn't would be great but I'm afraid that every single Enforcer and tough guy in this database is being demoted with absolutely no internal value is my biggest fear. I don't expect the players to be kicking out 400 plus PIMS a season and it becoming part WWE, but if I'm playing a guy like Kassian and have him assigned to fight regulary, collecting 240 PIM's plus in a season playing in all 82 games should be more than possible. Rinaldo and Dorsett had 230 a year ago!
I'm also hoping for a Fight frequency slider that would increase or decrease it to our liking, kind of like the current injury option at the moment. The AHL is fight filled compared to the current NHL... If I choose to play in the AHL then I'd adjust it higher than the NHL's frequency to mimic the reality of both the leagues.
