A few questions...

Re: A few questions...

Or does it? LOL

But yeah, I remember that now being a thing on the older games last gen.

I'm not sure things work properly at all with this game. Simming games, playing games, the settings/sliders, and the feel always being off etc.

It's a dang mess IMO.

I have all my goalies set at zero and I don't see any goofy stuff other than occasionally a goalie should have stopped that but it wasn't like that weird shot hitting the trapper and going in I'm calling this case closed zero is most consistent in my opinion haha thanks for all your help.

LOL. You're welcome!

It’s almost as if the consistency stat has been brought all the way in from NHL 94s Hot/Cold players.

Very interesting.

20-25ish games in now, and I feel like there's a few things that are overpowered when it comes to CPU offence. Super small sample size, and I will be the first to admit that my expansion franchise roster is pretty bad after selling off a lot of the higher rated guys, but...

-If I turn it over in my own zone, it seems like a guaranteed lock that the CPU scores on their next shot. There's nobody to blame but me for the turnovers, but it just seems like I can't buy a save. Maybe I'll track it for my next 10 games?

-Short side high, from around 15-20 feet seems to be where the CPU is scoring the majority of their goals. I adjust the CPU shot accuracy a bit, but it hasn't helped yet.

-I do find that I'm more effective if I don't change players in the defensive end. I don't want to play with player lock on, but when I change guys, it *feels* like the millisecond lag basically deactivates the player, as in he's not engaged in the play, which gives the CPU a bit of space, which results in hilariously bad in-zone coverage.

I know they're not really questions, but given that without re-starting I can't adjust goalie attributes, but does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts? I recognize that playing better defense is my #1 priority here , and I have zero issue adjusting sliders.

Re: A few questions...

Have a question so thought I'd piggyback on this thread...

Is there a way to turn off the aiming aid that appears for saucers & flip dumps? I thought I had everything off in Visual settings and on-ice trainer but it still appears.

I'm assuming yes, only because I haven't seen it after I flipped everything to off in the visual settings. Some things will randomly still appear though...I've got the offside warning off, but it'll just show up at random times here and there...very weird.

It’s really dumb, but it’s only available in the “On-Ice Trainer” settings menu in the game. They forgot to add it in the main game menu. So load up a game and go into that menu and you’ll see “Flip Dump Aim Targeting” and turn it to off. Then quit to the main menu and you should be good to go going forward.

The hardest part is finding the happy medium with your sliders if you don't have that you have nothing you'll constantly be chasing if I want to make anything tougher I just need to make one change to my sliders and weirdly enough it's the computer strategy between 3 and 4.

Do you still find that the number of shots against vary? I find that I'm getting around 30 or so against per game right now (6 min periods), but the frustrating part is the "gimme" goals, ie. slow one timers from the middle of the blue line.
