Our Game Trials & The Results
During our game trials we kept our game trial statistics so that we could compare our results with the real players and teams we used to convert to player cards in the Hockey Team Machine.
Our first major game trials was a 10 team league made from the statistics of elite teams spanning from the 1970s to modern day.
Each team played each other twice for a total of 18 games each.
For the player cards we came up with our own fun Team and player names
The following is the list of teams we used for statistics and the names we changed the teams to
We ranked them based on goal differential from 1 to 10
71/72 Boston Bruins – Changed to the Bears
74’/75′ Flyers – Changed to Outlaws
24/25 Oilers – Changed to Artists
Stars – Changed to the Bears
Devils – Changed to Outlaws
Maple Leafs – Changed to Artists
Capitals – Changed to the Bears
Panthers – Changed to Outlaws
24/25 Oilers – Changed to Artists
24/25 Oilers – Changed to Artists
And here are the final regular season and playoffs results
We compiled totals of our trial games and compared them to the totals of the real teams. Here are the results.
And here are our Imagine League totals compared to the real totals
Final analysis
– adjusted the goalie algorythm to increase saves slightly
– decreased shots taken slightly to reduce amoiunt of shots pper game
’72 Summit Series – Replayed
We created player cards for the Imagine Hockey Board Game based on the statistics of the ’72 Summit Series between Canada and Russia. Eight games is a small sampling and can result in eratic results but comparing our game totals to the actual Summint Series came very close. Here are the results.
