UPGRADES
AGES ARE BASED ON SEASON THAT WAS JUST PLAYED
MANUAL UPGRADES
Each season every team will get 8 MPU & 6 APU to use at their discretion.
MPU is for unlimited for players age 22+, they must have 30 GPs in NHL previous season.
OA 94 - 99 + 6 = +1
OA 91 - 93 + 5 = +1
OA 88 - 90 +4 = +1
OA 85 - 87 +3 = +1
OA 83 - 84 +2 = +1
OA 79 - 82 +1 = +1
OA < 79 +1 = +2
Players aged 18-19 may go up 1 overall using MPU if they play 40+ NHL games
Players aged 20-21 may go up 1 overall using MPU if they play 65+ NHL games
APU is for players that played in the AHL, Must have played less than 30 GPs in NHL previous season.
Overall Limits by Age
18-19 = no ceiling
20-21 = 82
22-23 = 81
24+ = 80 overall max
Maximum Spending by Age (AGE BASED ON PREVIOUS SEASON)
18-20 year olds = max +2 points
21-22 year olds = max +3 points
23+ = no max
APU costs
OA 80 +2 = +1 (does not apply to 18 & 19 year olds (junior players), counts as +1 per overall)
OA 76 - 79 + 1 = +1
OA 73 - 75 + 1 = + 2
OA 68 - 74 + 1 = + 3
OA < 67 + 1 = + 4
EX. RW Richard Park 65 (28) + 1 = 69 +1 = 72 + 1 = 75 + 1 = 77 +1 = 78 (+4 total)
18 year old example:
C Marco Rossi 74 PLY (18) plays in the AHL and receives +6 based on his performance, bringing him to 80. Rossi can then receive +2 APU on top of his performance boost, bringing him to 82 for the next season.
PERFORMANCE/DEVELOPMENT UPGRADES
CHL/JUNIORS
18 + 19 year olds receive min +1
Junior = 18 (+1+2+2,+2+2+3,+3+4+5)
19 (+1+1+2,+2+2+2,+3+3+4)
Play in NHL = NHL performance with min +1, can use MPU
Play in AHL = AHL performance with min +1, can use APU
Player Representative/Performance Based Boosters
The Player Representative will be responsible for upgrading some Free Agents each offseason, and the upgrades will appear in bold after the playoffs have concluded.
The player representative may also select other players that he/she deems fit for an upgrade based on their performance in the season (ex. if a 72 OA scores 50 points, the PR could upgrade that player +10). These upgrades may not be received by all teams. Players 33 and older are ineligible.
DOWNGRADES
Downgrades
Downgrades are going to happen every offseason, and these are some of the factors that will play into downgrades:
- Age. Of course as players get older, their production usually downgrades as their bodies become more fatigued, therefore all players aged 27 and older are at risk to receive a downgrade. The age downgrade is not based on production.
- Production. If a player does not produce as their overall would suggest (ex. a 90 overall player getting 30 points) they will receive a downgrade. For a more defensive player (like a DFD) their production will be based more on +-, hits, blocked shots, etc. Then on point production.
- Time on Ice. Players should play a role similar to their overall (ex. an 86 OA should be in the top 6), if they are not, and they are put into an negative role to their overall, they will receive a downgrade.
- Injury. Of course many players start failing because of injuries (Booth, Horton, etc.) therefore, long term injuries could play into the downgrades of the offseason.
-Players that are 80 overall or more are considered FULL TIME NHLERS and will likely get downgraded if they aren't playing full time (despite age)
AGE
- Once players turn 27, they are at risk of a downgrade. Players 27-30 are not likely to be downgraded but are vulnerable based on performance. Players 31-32 will be more prone than the previous age bracket, and players 33-34 will be even more prone. Auto downgrades will kick in for players 35+ despite performance.
Auto downgrades for NHL players ages 35+
35 - 36 (0,-1,-1,-1,-1,-2)
37 - 38 (-1,-1,-1,-2,-2,-2)
39+ (-1,-1,-2,-2,-3,-3)
Auto downgrades for AHL players
AHL players 28-30 receive a (0,0,-1) every offseason
AHL players 31-up receive a (0,-1,-2) every offseason
AHL players 35-up receive a (-2,-2,-3) every offseason (or likely retire)
AHL players rated 80+ receive -1 every offseason, unless 24 or younger
