Matt and his team have done an excellent job tweaking stats, jersey numbers, line combinations, player types, etc.
My additions are made strictly to the five major pieces of equipment that physically distinguish each player from the next. Helmet, visor, skates and most importantly jersey and sock tucks. You can bother making 700 players stick tape the right color, but for me, it's completely unnoticeable. If you’re running Matt’s latest update and manage to get those five additional equipment choices correct… you really don’t require any other additions.
INSTRUCTIONS: I am using a simple numbers system to identify which piece of equipment I'm referring. Starting from the top left and working left to right downwards. For example, on the skate selection screen the skate located in the top left corner is #1, on its right #2, then #3, then down and to the far left for #4, etc. This system is in place for all equipment I will be listing.Boston Bruins / Providence Bruins [AHL]#27 Begin, Steve (LW) : Helmet #6, Visor [None], Skates #1, Jersey Tuck [None], Sock Tuck [None]
