I'm doing some tests on the 2D engine. I know that there were some changes to reducing shots from defensemen. In both 24-25 and 25-26 there were 25+ defensemen that had over 200 shots but if you look at irl stats from last season, there were only 8 defensemen that had over 200 shots. However, if you lower that maybe they don't get enough points. Maybe there needs to be more efficiency on those shots if you lower it even more. I feel like assists are lower than it should be since last year we had Kucherov and McDavid having 100 assists. In my tests, no one went over 80 assists in both seasons.

Should penalties be increased maybe? The PP opportunities over a season is not really close yet. Last season there were 8 teams that had over 10 minutes PIM/G while in the game, no team had over 10 minutes.

Just some of the things I noticed in my tests.

I also feel that some tweaking on AI team management is necessary soon. This has been a problem this year since a lot of key players gets traded all the time even though the trades does not make any sense.
