How they play
Shoot first. Every puck goes on net. Volume over beauty. When the computer plays the Windbags, 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, Canadian Greats, Edmonton Frostbite, Kazakh Nomads, Seoul Searchers.
- Speed 3/5. League average. 16 other teams have it.
- Hitting 3/5. League average. Hitting is weight in collisions: who flies and who stays up.
- Size 3/5. League average.
- Shooting is the same for every team. A Windbags slap shot is as hard as anybody's.
The 75 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. Below the league average, so the computer makes a few more mistakes with them.
