  • Rosters for 2023-2024

  • Updates to many player attributes

  • Headlines screen now has correct date for each news item

  • Updated injuries to start the 2023-2024 season

  • Fixed bug where teams won't always draft best player available

  • New line change model; changes average time on ice

  • Shifts are now tracked, although not yet shown on front end

  • Improvements to scoring play algorithm; snipers/scorers are more likely to score and playmakers more likely to assist

  • Concept of game exhaustion is removed from the UI, but still exists internally, based on number of shifts played

  • If an AI team is up 2+ goals, they will lean towards defensive lines

  • Core, Journeyman, and Minor Leaguers are now slightly stronger

  • Slight increase to player values in their early 20s-late 20s

  • Franchise and Generational players now only have one position. This keeps the algorithm from always putting Tavares on the top line with Matthews, for example.
