Hey guys my name is Joe, I own 2 sim leagues Bar Down and Original Gaming, with my friend Kyle (who is not in VHL) here is our post explaining the sim package in our other leagues thread.
Unfortunately, SIMHL will not be coming out with ratings this year which are the ratings we use here and have used in other leagues. This is when Kyle and myself decided to take on the task ourselves and create our own ratings that we matched to be very similar to the SIMHL but with a few tweaks. The first tweak some of you may notice will be that more of a range in some categories are being used such as Scoring for example, we started at 99 with Ovechkin and worked our way down. The way we decided to calculate scoring was by taking in goals/shots/shooting % etc. Players who scored 25-30 goals this season were given a scoring rating in the range of 80-85 for example and fluctuated based upon other factors. These ratings are very similar to SIMHL overall wise, just a tad higher. However it is all balanced out as defenseman saw a raise in their actual defensive ratings, goalies saw a raise in their actual goaltending overalls which resulted in more realistic point productions, especially for defenseman. DF ratings are purely based on corsi% defensive zone starts, defensive zone efficiency, etc.
The link to our ratings can be found here >>> docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZyBDQHgIPo04YpWl2dliuNKLX3VpUOFyEEsCYMFAcy0/pubhtml
Here is an example of our ratings package with a whole season simmed as all the test runs came out very similarly. Notice defenseman scoring is down bringing back some more realism, with the outliar of Goligoski on a stacked team, but the other test runs he did not replicate that production.
