SYSTEM UPDATE

Ahh yes, system update... the fear of every Windows user. I wanted to tweak my system a bit to get more of the kind of play I had in mind. I've attached the new tactics below.

The changes are that I've set Hitting and Aggressiveness to the lowest setting possible, while increasing Backchecking and Pressure a notch. The C, LW, and LD use these global settings. My RD is set to be a bit more defensive and my RW a bit more offensive.

Basically I want my players to be have more urgency in defense and transition, and put pressure on the puck without being physical. I think the zone defense will work with this too. Overall this will be beneficial to puck possession and my PP/PK ratio. All that's left to do is find the right players for the system.

From what I can see, it's working so far.

The Whalers are:

3rd in Faceoff %
3rd in Takeaways
5th fewest Giveaways
Dead last in Hits
Dead last in PIMs

This tells me my system is working as intended, and once we have a nice set of players we'll be better off in other categories too like goal difference (+7) and special teams (101.9% PP+PK).

EDIT: I've since bumped the Tempo slider up one point.
