Number vs Quality of shots

[jeebs9]

So I wanted to know from the Vets around here. What is more important to you? And why it is? Because I've won both types of games. But I wanted to know from some opinions.

I also would like to know people opinion on hit stats

Really, i prefer quality shots over quantity, but quantity can win you games, too, depending on those shots becoming rebound chances and/or deflections. Too many variables to give a definitive answer on that.

With hits, I don't get too wrapped up in that. So long as stats for scoring, penalties, face off percentage, etc have reasonable variance, I'm fine. People often complain the CPU doesn't hit enough--with my sliders, that simply isn't true. Are there games where the CPU only registers 10-20 hits? Yup. However, I have just as many games where the CPU hits me 30+ times.

And I have video evidence for that.

That's my dynasty thread here on the hockey dynasty forums...as you can see, each game has a video highlight package. After the first one, they all have game stats at the end of them where you can view the hitting stats. Sometimes I get hit 8 times, then 15, then 35, then 20, and so on and so forth. I like it.


Its variety, you know...that thing we've been wanting for years. lol Enjoy.

Sorry, the game stats are at the end of each summary starting at game 16.

Seeing the same thing. At first I was concerned that I was trouncing the AI in hits, sometimes as absurd an advantage as 40-2, but then I started seeing games where it was 32-28, 25-20, etc., without changing sliders or doing anything really different. I might glance at it but don't really care at this point.

As for quality vs. quantity shots: depends on my mood. Sometimes when the offense just isn't clicking I'll go balls-out and try to get 55 shots, like screw it. More often however I like to hold the puck, make as many passes as possible, tire out the defense, and look for quality chances. 4 goals on 22 shots feels miles better than 2 goals on 44 shots.

I go by both quality and quantity depending on positioning. If i have the puck at the point, 9out of 10 times I shoot. I don't shoot if I see a huge patch of ice or a winger wide open. If I have a skilled offensive line on the ice, it's about quality. If I have 3rd or 4th liners it's about quantity.

It also depends on the makeup of the roster and their attributes. If I have a grinder and he's parked in front, I shoot it low for a deflection or rebound. If I have a line of guys with high offensive awareness and hand eye, same thing. If I am controlling a playmaker and have a sniper or two on the ice, it's time to cycle until I find the sniper some space. Then I let her rip.

I just played my first HUT game online vs another guy I think playing his first...

I out shot him by double.. I had like 24 shots to his 12 and he still won the game like 4 - 1
