    cpu difficulty slider

    Does anyone know what this slider does??
    I mean how does it make the cpu more difficult to play against??
    does it boost their speed, shot power and shot accuracy??

    do they pass better, take more shots, goalies better?? Do they play smarter??

    I just wanna know. Ive tried the slider on 0 and maxed and really dont notice a difference.

    Is there any definitive slider definition on this??
    thanks

    It's one thing the Devs have NEVER answered nor explained.

    There's a lot of theories out there if you Google, but I think it's just speculation.

    Recently I've juggled between All-Star with CPU Difficulty at 0, but was fed up with Robo CPU that occurs too often on All-Star and Superstar. They go into this mode where you know a goal is coming...they would snap a 70 foot pin point pass to the neutral zone, and just bum rush your zone with pinpoint passing, often by zipping one from the corner without looking and in the SLOT. Bam Bam Bam. Have a 3-0 lead with 1 minute left? You can guarantee they will get that one late goal to spoil the shutout, lol.

    Pro in general is just too easy, you can skate in circles and just dominate time of attack.....I regularly have 7 goal games with 8 minute periods.

    So I tried bumping up the CPU Difficulty....of course, as it seems with most sliders, the game played good for a couple of games. It seems that any slight slider tweak makes the game play a little better, before it reverts to berserk mode.

    I was happy overall with CPU Difficulty at 3, until 3 games in a row the CPU came back from late 2 and 3 goal deficits. In all, I've played about 10 games with it at 3, and every single game was a 1-goal game.

    I'm willing to bet it's a cheat slider designed to make the games close or closer, which is what they define as "difficult"....

      I've had so many games absolutely ruined by the freaking Berserk mode. Imo, it really cheapens the feel of the game.
