How they play
Shoot first. Every puck goes on net. Volume over beauty. When the computer plays the Eagles, that's what it does: the style sets how often it shoots, passes, cycles, forechecks, stretches the ice and hits. Same style: Milwaukee Pucks, Canadian Greats, Edmonton Frostbite, Kazakh Nomads, Chicago Windbags, Seoul Searchers.
- Speed 5/5. The top speed rating. Gone. 4 other teams have it.
- Hitting 4/5. Heavy. Their hits move people. Hitting is weight in collisions: who flies and who stays up.
- Size 4/5. Big, and they look it on the ice.
- Shooting is the same for every team. A Eagles slap shot is as hard as anybody's.
The 92 OVR is how sharp their computer players are: how fast they read the play, how true they pass, how clean their sticks are. It doesn't touch how hard anyone shoots. Above the league average, so against them the computer is quicker to punish mistakes.
