Your Players' Skills
Every player brings 9 trainable abilities to the ice. What counts depends on their position: a winger lives off speed and shot power, a defender off positioning and physicality, a goalie off reflexes and composure.
| Skill | What it means |
|---|---|
| ⛸️ Skating | Speed, acceleration, agility — your player flies across the ice |
| 🎯 Shooting | Shot power and precision — the puck zips into the net |
| 🏒 Passing | Vision and pass accuracy — the deadly final pass |
| 🛡️ Defense | Positioning, checking, winning puck battles |
| 💪 Physical | Body contact, assertiveness along the boards |
| 🧤 Goalie | Reaction speed and glove hand — the goalie's secret weapon |
| 🔴 Offense | Reading the game offensively, finding the right lanes |
| 🔵 Defensive Awareness | Anticipation in defense, blocking shots |
| ⚡ Stamina | Conditioning — can your player last 60 minutes? |
Strength, Rating & the Big Picture
Three values give you a quick overview: the Strength total shows raw power (all skills added up). Rating is the position-weighted average — your best indicator of a player's true class. And Quality (in %) tells you how efficiently he brings his skills to the ice. A player with high skills but low quality is like a sports car with a flat tire.
Potential — Your Player's Future
Every player has an upper limit: their potential (value 1–100). An 18-year-old talent with potential 95 can become a superstar. A 30-year-old veteran with potential 55 has hit his peak. Potential stays the same for life — it's the built-in growth cap.
Always check potential first with young players! An average 18-year-old with potential 90 is more valuable long-term than a strong 28-year-old with potential 60.
Experience and Morale
Your player collects experience with every competitive game. An experienced player makes the right call in hectic situations. Morale is their mental state: wins boost it, losses scratch at confidence. At 100 % morale, he performs at peak level.
Energy — Your Players' Fuel Tank
After every match the tank is emptier. Energy regenerates daily — young, fit players recover faster. With low energy, your team plays below its potential. Keep an eye on the energy bar, especially during busy weeks with lots of games!
