I'm interested to hear some thoughts and sliders. The other parts of the gameplay seem great, except that the CPU goes WAY overboard with the protect puck feature.

I don't know about accuracy, but I don't adjust the power setting because EA has researched how hard each individual shoots the puck (in m.p.h.). I don't adjust accuracy either, but have you maxed out shot blocks, pass interceptions, etc.? I think goaltending may be your issue more than shot power or accuracy. Could be wrong.

Try and some shots not to hammer the left stick all the way to the left or right when you shoot. Sometimes when I really want to get that shot on goal I don't touch the left stick while shooting....usually do this on the PP from the point sometimes....can cause some juicy rebounds.

360 owner here...

Has anyone playing with the patch noticed if the AI screens goalies? I really hate the inability to get my team mates or see the other team screen goalies, especially during power plays.

Did that get tweaked/fixed?

The PS3 version is out. I'm under the assumption that the 360 version will be the same once it get's released for us. So I figured PS3 players already using it could shed some light for me.

Same here. Gah, the MS certification process for this stuff seems unnecessarily lengthy.
