Penalty Slider affecting Sim Stats, what else ?

[Whomario]

Just found out that the Global Penalty Slider (in "rules") has an impact on the simmed games. Most likely people here are aware of this (my first NHL game in 10 years, so i was not ) but just in case i thought i would share this ...

Tried it 5 times with each setting on the same save game. Basically on 0 the Top teams will have a mere 8-15 Power Play Goals for the season, whereas on 4 it will be closer to 55-65. Total Goals will also see a spike across the league, though not as big (about 20-25 per team)

This little adjustment also helps give some first liners better point numbers since most first liners will also feature in the Power Play.

Anybody tested if any of the more specific sliders have a similar impact ?

i would say that most slider sets have this set at 4/4. I myself have it at 3/4 but adjust the penalty slider in the slider section high than most..
