Update for Season 13 below.
 

Odd, major-underdog, upsets in Season 11.  SHL Tomahawks over GHL Trojans.  GHL finals and semi-finals with Marauders beating Vandals/Protons.
 
What do the Marauders and Tomahawks goalies have in common?  They are both TOUGH.  I think I'm onto something... (goes out and signs all tough players regardless of skills...)

I've seen some players play worse while others seem to not care. Then again this isn't ever the only factor at play. I would say concerned has a rather small impact whereas frustrated has a bigger, more relevant one.

I cast Fire Shield to resist your Cone of Cold.

Bah, forgot to activate the world. Sorry.

I understand that it’s not very obvious what impact the player profile has, but that’s also by design. It’s not supposed to be too obvious - but at the same time obvious enough so that you can use your common hockey sense to figure things out. And as I can see in this topic so far, you’re already on the right track. However, I have been asked to give a comment on this matter and I’d be happy to. I won’t reveal any secrets but hopefully I can shed some light on this.
 First, it’s important to understand that the player profile is not only used to impact the player’s game performance. It will also influence things like team culture, happiness/unhappiness triggers, retirement age, contract negotiations and demands (including choice of team). When it comes to game performance the player profile will play an important role (it can be the difference between a win and a loss) but it will only act as an addition to the player’s original skill level. That means that if your player’s skill level is high enough it can compensate for his bad profile. But as mentioned above the profile will influence other parts of the game (culture, happiness, etc.) which in its own turn can lead to a bad game performance. Also, both high and low values can be of benefit in different situations. It’s a complex system, just like it should be. And now to RNG. As Rainsilent pointed out I don’t believe there is any good way to exclude random numbers from any game. Depending on what meaning you put into the word random I believe there’s a random factor present even in real life. A top sniper wont score 1 million goals on a 1 million shots even with an empty net. He would probably miss at least one . But I promise you this, there are NO complete random numbers in this game. All actions will be based on skill, trait or other ratings to decide if an action is a success or failure.

rainsilent, you are right.  I was simply providing data without actually digging deep into it.  I hope no one thinks I am trying to prove solid conclusions with my data.  That's why I add comments like "(in my own mind)" and stated you probably know much more than I do.  Still, I like to provide facts where I can and offer opinions on certain subjects, even if they aren't solid facts.  If others have facts to either support or reject my data, then great.
 
While I'm at it, I don't actually think that the goalies being Tough were the main factor for the upsets.  I hope everyone was able to see the sarcastic humor in my comment.
 
 
I actually made this comment to bouncer a few weeks ago.  This doesn't really relate to the "traits" topic, but I have noticed (with both my team and a few others) that teams perform a bit worse immediately after trades.  Teams appear to "slip up" for a week or two after a trade, then get back to form.  This probably has something to do with the player's confidence not being full, or possibly another factor - and could support my opinion in my original post that a team's Confidence & Teamwork are more important than Winner Instinct.  Again, this is mere opinion based on observations and not solid fact to say that is how the game is coded.  Probably a discussion for another thread.

And what about the opposing teams winner instinct and overall talent level? You can't just look at partial data and end up with a solid conclusion.
 
You guys are also glossing over the fact that the Marauders best players outplayed the Protons best players in the second game. I think the biggest contributor to the Marauders winning the cup is the lack of depth scoring that is going on in this patch as the two teams that had the most offensive depth, the Protons and Vandals, couldn't effectively use it to their advantage. Without that advantage it more or less became whose best players outplayed whose. Also another major factor was the starting goalie for the Protons not having full confidence. To be frank Arttur Kaila did not have a particularly good playoffs. In fact game 1 of the series he had a pretty bad game and cost the Protons the game despite the Protons otherwise completely outplaying the Marauders. I have no doubt that the lower confidence of Kaila played a role in that outcome. I also like how nobody is mentioning that they also beat me 2-1 in the first round even though Hanrahan had 2 very bad games against me.
 
Marauders congratulations on winning the cup. Against all odds you managed to win going though the best teams in the Vandals and Protons. It was fun to watch. Mostly. The first round wasn't so fun.

Ambition is a modifier to another talent that is now hidden that used to be visible. That talent was an indication of how good the player could be. Potential. A player with great potential but is lazy will still grow exceptionally fast. A player that doesn't have a lot of potential at all but is ambitious won't grow much at all. What you want to look for in terms of ambition is for what players are growing first then look at their ambition.
 
As for winner instinct it becomes more evident and impactful in closer leagues. Teams with higher team winner instinct will more often than not find ways to win close games. Again though that requires close games and relative parity between teams. I have never had an overly talented team offensively (defensively is another story though) yet I am regularly at the top of the standings in my league. Why? I play the odds of keeping games as close as possible and then winning those close games. If you want to see the impact of winner instinct look at all of the games that your team played where the difference was 2 or fewer goals. That said my team wins games in OT like nobody's business but can't win in a shootout to save their lives.
 
Finally dirty is about manager preference and statistical certainty. Even on the lowest aggression level your team will take penalties. It is an inevitability. So why not pick up a few players lower talented players that have the tendency to take penalties and play them on your lower lines and eat up as many PIMs as they can? Also some managers just want aggressive teams like the "Big, Bad Bruins" of old however be mindful that your team doesn't turn into the undisciplined Jets that regularly burn themselves with too many PP goals against.
 
The rest I think you have spot on although I don't really see the need for Anders to give specifics. That said somewhere in this forum is a record where he did say something along the lines that it goes on a number scale system in that not all lazy players are the same lazy. Basically think of it as a 0-10 system with 0 being most lazy for example and 1 being lazy but not as lazy and so forth.

I am curious about traits as well, but part of me also likes the mystery and having to figure it out.  I'm torn 50/50 on whether or not I'd like Anders to tell us what the hell is going on but on second thought, I'm leaning towards the mystery/having to figure it out.
 
From personal experience, below are my thoughts on each trait.  Some might agree, some might disagree, but it is what I have seen with my team.
 
EGO - haven't noticed much in terms of in game results for specific players, but Ego affects Teamwork as a whole.  My team performs MUCH better when my Teamwork bar is green (and Teamwork/Confidence is more important than Winner Instinct - at least for my team, maybe not for others).
 
DIRTY - I prefer Tough/Agitator players, but that's partly because of my preference in real life (I love players like Wayne Simmonds, Lucic, Gudas, Marchand, etc).  I have noticed that my Tough players perform better, but also take more penalties, so it's a double-edged sword - but that could all depend on your tactics as well.  On the flip side, taking more penalties cost me a few games this year, but I'll take my chances.
 
LEADERSHIP - I don't care about this at all, other than picking captains.
 
BIG GAMES - I have noticed a "slight" upgrade in performance from Determined to Nervous players.  i.e. Assuming the players are similar, I would probably take an 80 OVR Determined player over an 81 OVR Nervous players, but maybe not an 82 OVR Nervous player.  I'd rather have the skill when it is multiple notches higher.  Big Games is more noticeable for team's Winner Instinct... but I still haven't figured out when Winner Instinct is that important.
 
AMBITION - Here is where I may disagree with most.  Two of my players who improve the most are Lazy - more-so than my Ambitious and Enthusiastic players.  So I am either getting extremely lucky with my Lazy players, or completely screwed with my Ambitious players.  Right now I don't value this trait at all, other than the thought that it might change in a future release.

Alright!  I made it through the BHL playoffs this year.  I'm looking forward to seeing how my team stacks up with an SHL team.  On paper I look like an extreme underdog.  And I'm not sure whether I should be bummed out that my 2nd line Center is injured another 4 games and will miss the remainder of the playoffs, or excited that I only have 1 major injury at this point.

Do you have an example of the wording? 
 
I started looking into the post game comments around team tactics this season to try and make sense of a lot of things.  I even changed a bunch of tactics/lines from game to game and had other managers send me what it said about my team to see where it was different.  I think I had most of it figured out, but then put my research on the back burner (busy job, wife, 3 kids sometimes demand priority ).  I'll pick it up again shortly.

Love it!  Maybe a 16-team single elimination tournament that runs simultaneously with the playoffs.  NT managers are limited to choosing players who are NOT playing in their team's playoffs.  Or the other option is to run it during "Silly Season" and all players are eligible.
 
Checking through the top players, the following 16 countries could field teams.
Canada, USA, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Rep, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, Ukraine, Denmark, Austria, Latvia, Belarus (OK, that's 17...)

Speaking of names being mixed up, have you noticed some Italian players in GPHM have Spanish sounding names?  Laurent Diego Alves, for example.  For roleplaying purposes, I pretend the player was born in Italy to an Italian mother and Spanish father.

I guess you can see why I would merge the two - Slovakia does not have enough centers, Czech Republic has only few forwards and basically nothing for LW, separately they both suck at D, Slovakia has really bad goal-tending etc.
Together this might be team that can play even matches with USA, but no one can match the defense of Canada, which is unreal.

If he was assigned, then only 10% of his salary counted towards your cap for next year.  If you cut a player, 50% of their cap counts towards your cap next year.  For this reason, it makes more sense to keep a player in the minors (if possible) vs. cutting them.

The past few weeks I have made a numerous releases to the UAT, since there have been mostly bug fixes and behind the scenes improvements I haven't released any info regarding its contents. But in today's release there has been a small UI change of the world info worth mentioning. So here's the complete change log so far.
 
World info and countdown is now clickable to reveal more detailed info regarding upcoming events When world is simulating (flashing SIMULATING) more info regarding estimated finish is available when clicked More detailed team finances/salary cap info Player development will slow down if assigned to too low affiliate level Player may be unhappy if assigned to affiliate even if on two way contract Improved and more individualistic player regression Fixed bug where team standings could be become unsync Fixed bug where manager name was displayed as Computer on team history Fixed bug where salary cap wasn't updated correctly when trading for affiliate assigned players Fixed bug where goalie stats wasn't correctly updated when assigned to affiliate Fixed bug where injured players still could be auto assigned to lineup in games Fixed bug where players could play games for more than one team at once Fixed bug where player stats could not be sorted on BKS (Blocked shots) Fixed bug where a player wasn't rewarded a league achievement if released before season end  Fixed small typo Note. This is not the complete list for the upcoming v1.3.2. There's still a few more things planned. I'm aiming for a release to the official game worlds in early October.

Maybe your team is full of injury prone players... are they named Letang or something like that?
