Depends on the player. A good one (based on current ability, not potential) will probably be better off on the main roster.

On the reserve list.

In strategy: if a player is a Shadow 4; is it better to keep him at the higher role or if there is a Major/Minor Counter Role where he is a 3 go to it?
Minor probably no, major possibly yes. We're working on a way to make the effects of that decision a little clearer.

Is it better to look at the Skater Ratings or the Individual Attributes... i.e
Skater Rating DEF: 15
Attribures: CHE 17 DRD 17 POS 17 & AGI 15
The ratings are derived from the attributes to give you a general idea of his strengths and weaknesses, so it's really the same data, just less specific.

Quote:
With dressing only 10 forwards when you play the game do you move 2 forward down to the 4th line or leave only 1 player on the 4th line?
Unless I specifically want the single player to play regularly, I usually leave him alone and with icetime set to 0 and let the AI coach use him to fill in when somebody's penalized/too fatigued to play on his regular line.

Quote:
How much of a factor is Game Fatigue during game? Most games every forward is OUT of game fatigue with about 5 minutes to go in the 3rd period.
It has a fairly significant effect on some of their ratings. You may want to lower the ice time for your top lines slightly to see if that helps.

Do you look at overall Stars or individual attributes when figuring out your lines and roles?

1* Playmaker with is a Playmaker 4 seems to make sense on 1st line between Sniper 4 & Power Forward 4
Both, really. A one-star guy probably isn't a good choice for the first line unless you have nobody else who's at least two stars.
