OK this is the Official Guide as to the ratings for the upcoming STHS. I will not delve into specifics, and they may change as I edit things to work properly, but this is what they will be based on.
CK - Checking - Hits/game FG - Fighting - Majors & ST & CK DI - Discipline - PIM/game SK - Skating - Subjective (done by 6 man committee) ST - Strength - Height & Weight & Majors DU - Durability - Icetime per game PH - Puckhandling - PPTOI/game & SC & PA FO - Faceoffs - Faceoffs taken/game & faceoff win% PA - Passing - assists/game SC - Scoring - goals/game DF - Defense - PKTOI/game & Shot Blocks/game (different for Dmen and Forwards) EX - Experience - Career NHL GP LD - Leadership - EX & Career Playoff Games
Using the RObert Lang example posted elsewhere he has a LD of 5 more than his EX, and has played 87 career playoff games, so it does have a fairly weight factor.
I agree, however, there is nothing in the sim that accounts for DU based on GP, it simply decreases based on IT, and any injuries are random (just like FHL though it has the ratings).
Unfortunately there is nothing in the sim world to account for the Havlat's and COnnollys of the world, though if they play less than 15 games, their stats may be adjusted because the sample size is too small
