Introducing X Factor Skill Traits!!
People who have NHL 22 will be already be familiar with these.
Here’s a link to an explanation of what they are

TL:DR
There are skill traits in 22 that set players apart by giving them bonus in a certain skill area. You will be able to unlock and customize these for certain players going forward
ZONE Traits are Elite or Gold traits
SUPERSTAR Traits are Star or Silver traits
Our Rosters are set to Default EA trait assignments.
However, for players coming into the league via the Entry Draft or FA we will be implementing a system for assignment of these traits
Top 3 Drafted Players will be awarded 1 GOLD trait , 1 SILVER trait
Top 10 Drafted players from S1-S2, Top 11 going toward, 1 SILVER trait
Eligible players that played WJC, and did well in particular less talked about stats (hits/tk) MAY unlock 1 Silver trait as well. This is not dependent on draft position, but WJC performance. Expect 1 - 2 hidden guys like this a draft.
Free Agents with ?? who played WJC MAY come in with 1 Silver Trait depending on performance
Awards
Any Award Won will result in unlocking 1 GOLD trait, or , if your player already has a GOLD trait, 1 SILVER trait
This includes any award - Ex . WJC MVP, Calder Trophy
WJC MVP runner ups will be given 1 SILVER trait
Only Developed players are eligible for these traits. Meaning players that would’ve been eligible for WJC , or the Calder Trophy S1
All other players are Defaulted to EAs
Milestones
Players may also unlock various traits going forward based on in game milestones at the simmers discretion
Ex. - Dylan Guenther gets 150 hits in season, he might unlock a silver hitting trait TRUCULENCE
The standard for these will be high. NHL playing time is necessary for unlocking these going forward, outside of Draft, FA, Euro Lotto, and WJC Awards
