One season wonders?
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to code in an ability for a player to be an one season wonder (players like Jacques Richard and Mario Lessard)? Working like Variable Potential, which is in the game, some players would be marked so that they could have a season long boost to their abilities, for whatever reason. A rare occurence sure, but nice to have if it was doable. Just a thought. |

A really low aging attribute may work, if it's really low they could regress quite early, but I'm not sure you can really set them to only be good one season

If you play historical mode with annual recalculation on, it does do something like that. But in general, I'd rather have those one-off seasons happen organically, maybe with a little assistance from things like random storylines.
Richard was actually a great prospect who had just about turned into a complete bust when he found himself in the perfect situation, getting lots of time in an offensive role with teammates that complimented him well. That sort of thing can definitely happen in the game. Lessard would be a good example of the kind of thing I'd like to do with a random event: he had three good seasons, but, if I remember right, somebody eventually noticed a flaw in his style that could be exploited, word got around the league, he couldn't fix it, and he was out of hockey within a couple of years. |

That being said, I think Jeff makes a good point, but I know how frustrating it would be if you have multiple of those guys show up in multiple years. |

I’ve definitely had one season wonders. 3-3.5 star guys who win an Art Ross, usually carried by an elite linemate who they happen to get more points than but occasionally they win it by themselves without much help.
They never win the Hart though. Seems the Hart is reserved for 4.5-5* players with high average game ratings. |

in my latest replay...I'm 40+ seasons in, plenty of players with the career arc of Lessard and I don't use recalculate. Generally it's an okay player who benefits playing with a very strong team and comes back to earth sooner than later.
