Cool!  I haven't played the 2021 version since...well... 2021.  I'll have to go back and check it out again.

As for the AHL rom, it's not likely that I would create one.  It's a lot of work and after posting 20-some-odd versions of the 2025 rom (UHC, Yeti and Mammoth) plus the 3v3 version of it,  I'm looking to scale back vs create new.  But, if someone wants to create an AHL rom, I am happy to point them in the direction of some stat sites that might be helpful.

That’s fair.  I imagine it’s lot of work.  

If you do a new season rom, may I suggest Connor Hellebuyck for the cover art?  Word is he is the winner of both the Hart and Vezina this year (per internet leak).  Goalies don’t usually get much attention these days and he earned it (at least, during the regular season).

@Toe-Knee You saw well into the future...good call/prediction!

@Flame4Life Sorry.  I was feeling that Wolf deserved it as well but Hutson had a great year and I can't knock the voters for giving him the Calder.

Yeah, it sucks but was kinda expected.  Wolf still had a great year and has a bright future!

Thanks!  I, historically, have started work during late July/early August.  Not sure about next season just yet.  TBD

As for help/feedback, I usually just go it alone but welcome feedback once I post.  I’ll always keep such stuff in mind and appreciate it!

Bring back the stamina hack/alt version.    That’s my request!

Some good suggestions and requests as of late and one scary one (3 goalies in the net).  LOL
At the risk of Brett Favring/Aaron Rodgering, I should have cut those requests off at the pass rather than say "open to suggestions" or "tbd".  While I won't make the mistake of saying "no more", it's not looking like I'll do a rom for the upcoming NHL season.  At least, not for the beginning of the season.  I have a big trip coming up with the family and then some business trips & projects so the next couple of months will be hectic/busy and I don't want to promise and then not come through.

The good news is, as most likely know, @AdamCatalyst is killin' it on the NHL season rom front.  He's become the "gold standard" today by pushing limits/innovation and sounds like he'll have some cool stuff in the future.  Plus, he's generous enough to provide you all with several updates during the season.  As I tried to do the same, I can confirm it is time consuming so make sure to always say "thanks".  So, stay tuned for what he's releasing for next season!

Like most, I'm looking forward to fighting being added to the game as one day I'll probably tinker with adding it to a rom for fun!  If I do, I'll see about potentially posting it for fun.

Cheers!

Thanks for all you did this season Sauce!  I will miss your work but remain hopeful you’ll be back posting roms one day!

I’ll echo BB and say thanks for all your work this season!

I hope you do make more roms in the future man. Your players ratings are always the best for me.

Especially now that Columbus had a decent year, I'm going to have some real players to play with next year.

Well, that’s a bummer!  Maybe things will change down the line and you’ll be back to do some more roms.

Thanks for the hard work @Sauce!!

Hey @Sauce! Hope you’re having a good summer!  Any change of plan in regards to doing a new ROM for this upcoming season?  I know that you previously said that you weren’t sure but just thought I’d ask in case something has changed.
