I’ve simmed a couple of 2022-23 seasons using classic and 2D for all teams and can say that classic is definitely still the more realistic of the two.

2D results in some weird goal and shooting % numbers for centres, of the top 30 league leaders in shooting percent 29 were centres (Crosby led the league with 31% - 37 goals on 120 shots!), at least two dozen players shot over 20% (over a minimum 60 game sample) and the top 5 goal scorers were as follows:

Stamkos 78
MacKinnon 65
Mcdavid 65 (with 63 ES goals!)
Hertl 56
Matthews 54

Using classic it was a lot more normal. Top 5 for goals were Matthews (67), Connor (56), Forsberg (56), Laine (55) and Kreider (51). There were only a handful of players over 20% and the top shooters were a mix of centres and wingers.
