Issues with TOO MUCH scoring…

[onlybygrace]

It doesnt seem to matter what I do with the sliders, the scoring for both myself and the CPU is just out of control. Just had consecutive games on ALLSTAR that were 8-5 and 7-6. In the second game, I boosted cross crease reaction time AND save reaction time to 100. Things seemed better going into the third period as it was 3-3, then the third was another ridiculous period where each team scored three times and sent the game into OT 6-6. The goals actually became annoying.

I have the game playing beautifully other than the goaltenders being abysmal. I am 13 games into my season and my team is averaging 4.6 goals per game and 4.1 goals against. That is out of control.

I am wondering if the difficulty adjustment being 6/6 is causing issues.

After my last game I lowered shooting sliders significantly down into the 30’s for most, but I havent been able to test them yet.

Ive played with almost every slider set on this forum and have the same problem with an over abundance of goals. I appreciate the goal variety but this is getting stupid.

I am on 6 minute periods. Both goaltenders in my franchise have save percentages UNDER .800

That is no bueno. Any thoughts on this?

Anyways, I am going to be figuring this out this weekend I hope.

Re: Issues with TOO MUCH scoring…

I might have found the magic slider set. I haven't seen the scoring you have. I was having trouble scoring (and still am) but average scores were around 4-2 in cpu's favor in previous games.

I play on Superstar and had the best game I've ever played (full disclosure: I have only played 6 so far) I lost 1-0 but a very balanced game. Shot were 26-24 in favor of the cpu with 8 minute periods. I can share if you'd like. The biggest thing this set eliminated is those garbage scrum goals in front of my own net. Game felt very realistic and goalies are very hard to beat.

Re: Issues with TOO MUCH scoring…

I have the opposite problem of not enough goals. At one point I had three straight 1-0 games. Gotten better recently since messing with settings etc.

Re: Issues with TOO MUCH scoring…

Im grateful I had this problem. I have fixed the issue and this game is now playing like a dream. After many years, i will be releasing my first slider set in many years soon.

Sounds good! Used to use your sliders back I the day…looking forward to seeing what you’ve come up with!

I’ve been using a mashup of a bunch of sliders to make my own as well and think I have it in a good spot as well.

Are you still posting a set?

What was the fix that you found?

I'm having issues now 18 games into my franchise. Averaging 4 goals a game and giving up 4.3 goals against.

I'm using my own sliders as well as an almost default slider set. No matter which ones I use, game plays solid, but the scoring is just out of control.

I personally thought it was tied to AE at 10, but played games with it at 5 and same issue.

I'm liking how I got the game feeling on both sets, but im trying not to make drastic changes but man something has got to give.

EDIT - I'm using Aim Assist as well, if I was on Manual I'd average 8 goals a game. lol

I think it comes down to the goalies just not being good enough or too good.

I've found a good balance to the skaters IMO but still scoring and giving up too many goals.

I've also found that even lowering shot sliders I've seemingly give up more goals than when they are on default.

It's very confusing for me. I'm chalking it up to EA just not giving the goalies more love. The skaters/flow I've got to a great spot but it's the scoring that's too much.

Well I went down the rabbit hole of slideritus because of all of this scoring.

I maxed out all goalie save sliders to 100 and lowered the screening ones to 0, didn't matter one bit. Which is just CRAZY to me. Honestly, this all for me might have to do with Attribute Effect Slider at 10.

I thought bumping the Fatigue Effect up to the old "Full Sim" setting at 70 would do the trick, seemed like it helped a bit but that just was slideritus running wild in my veins.

I have adjusted everything back to how I have had it before on both my sets because of the feel and now will just tinker with the AE slider. If this fails for me one of two things will have to happen. 1) Go back to my method of years past, sim games until the 3rd period and play the game out that way (which might be how I have to play to keep save %'s somewhat on point) or 2) Lower the period length from 6/7 mins to 4/5 and just deal with the lower shot totals.

UGH

Re: Issues with TOO MUCH scoring…

I’ll post my set this weekend or sooner. I have solved the issue with goaltender performances not quite being up to NHL caliber.

This game is amazing.

Thanks bro. Biggest issue I’ve noticed is the over abundance of hits and hit totals using someone else’s set on here.

Re: Issues with TOO MUCH scoring…

After rumors that the goaltenders have been messed up by the recent patch; ill play about 5 more games before posting these sliders to verify that the goaltenders are maintaining the same higher standard of play.

Went down the rabbit hole again.

I’m trying to get the dang scoring under control.

AE 10
All Goalie Reaction Sliders to 100.
All GoalieDeflection sliders to 0
All Shot Accuracy Sliders to 0.

Screen shot of the game attached. Lost in OT. My powerplay just couldn’t score. Some glorious chances but couldn’t take advantage.

Let’s see how some more games play out. This game was also a grudge match.
