I'm trying to find a way for the computer to make more frequent line changes when on auto line changes or a computer controlled team. Basically, the first lines play 75% of the time, 2nd lines maybe 20%, and the checking lines don't see the ice unless their team is ahead in the 3rd period. I feel like the obvious solution is to reduce all players endurance to 0, but as I recall I tested this long ago with NHLPA 93 and saw very minimal difference. Might still give it a try with just 2 teams to see if there's a noticeable difference. Does anyone else have other ideas how to get the other lines on the ice occasionally?

You don't have to adjust all the players individually. You can increase the speed that stamina depletes for all skaters.

this looks like just what I'm looking for. I'll have to try to figure this stuff out
