    Default Using NHL20 to Simulate the Rest of Playoffs

    Our league started playoffs last week (Week 21) and the #1 seed was eliminated by the #8 seed. Since this is the case we can not award the regular season champion the money or trophy. We are half way through the semi-finals and if the NHL season is suspended and they advance straight to NHL Playoffs, would using NHL20 to simulate the rest of the playoffs be a viable option? Has any other league talked about using this option?

    This thought was just presented in the other thread about how to determine your league winner. I think it’s a fun idea. If all 4 remaining teams are okay with it, go for it.

    Yep it's all up to the remaining teams. I think either total buy in or league suspension is the way to go.

    Agreed it could be fun, especially if you get to watch the actual game, down to like 5 minutes long? Not sure if that is possible but would be hilarious to watch a video game of your fantasy team playing for the title.

    The thought is to simulate all the games for the next week 1/2 and aggregate the stats vs creating a team of your fantasy team

    Would you create the fantasy teams and then pit those teams against each other in a tournament, or would you sim the season as though it was the NHL, and tabulate stats that way?

    That answers my question.

    In that case, do you do it on the daily schedule of the NHL, and still allow adds/drops/IR? Or do you just do it all at once and count?

    Will probably do it daily and allow adds/ drops/ IR just to help get us through a few days with no sports

    This is actually so much better. So each night the team in contention would get their boxscore, just like actual fantasy and be able to add/drop and start or sit goalies? If the season were cancelled that would be the next best thing I guess.

    Is there a gamemode in NHL that has all real season games and INJURIES ? If we were to start this up now would Mackinnon be injured or would you have to start this SIM with everyone healthy and remove injuries in the settings?

    Man this may work, just alot of work for us Commish's

    You would have to pre-set lines manually and leave Mackinnon out and then back in when he's expected back.

    Awesome idea, even if just for fun. Currently says "access denied" FYI. Were you planning to make it publicly viewable?

    Awesome! I will be following this along because I have nothing else to follow!

    Selfishly my league uses the following additional stats, if you could add that would be amazing, if not I will likely still follow it:

    SHP, GWG, SOG, HITs.
    GAA --> I assume a lot use this
