That makes sense. I guess a similar issue is why the limit is 75% for a given year for stats? I currently have 50% weight and 75% current year and 25% last year. I assume it’s only 75% because it’s pro rated. It would be nice to have that to set 100% if possible. I personally would like to see the AI send down poor performing low tier players and call up AHL hopefuls more often. The change from the default helped a little bit though.
Nonetheless, I love this new addition.
