How they play
Shoot first. Every puck goes on net. Volume over beauty. When the computer plays the Greats, that's what it does: the style sets how often it shoots, passes, cycles, forechecks, stretches the ice and hits. Same style: Milwaukee Pucks, American Eagles, Edmonton Frostbite, Kazakh Nomads, Chicago Windbags, Seoul Searchers.
- Speed 4/5. Quick. Few teams catch them in open ice. 11 other teams have it.
- Hitting 4/5. Heavy. Their hits move people. Hitting is weight in collisions: who flies and who stays up.
- Size 2/5. Small. The game draws them that way, too.
- Shooting is the same for every team. A Greats slap shot is as hard as anybody's.
The 89 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.

One simulated game: 35% against the Milwaukee Pucks (94), 78% against a 79 team, 95% against the California Gold (66). That's the computer's games. When you take the Greats into a cup, you play your own games, and the computer gets harder every round. Challenge Cup guide.
