How to get breakaways - Sliders?

[hollywood_cpm]

Just looking for some good sliders that allow breakaways occasionally. So far I'm seeing about 1 breakaway every 3-4 games and I'd like to find some settings that get it to maybe 1-2 a game. Not just for me but 1-2 combined or even just the computer. Basically it seems very hard to get a good step on the defense even with a clear land or outside edge.

no kidding...i'm 11 games into my latest BeAGM and i've had one, yes ONE breakaway...

but if that's the biggest gripe i have (and it is, besides low CPU penalties), then i really can't complain too much...

True that dude.

But it'd be nice to have a couple here and there. The new AI should be anticipating getting open for better passes or something

I'm getting breakaways, usually 1 in every game.

We're using very similar sliders. I'll try lowering my AI learning. I think I have it at 4 or 5 and you have it at 0. Maybe that will allow my guys to get multiple chances for breaks.

I think its combination of low acceleration and high enough gamespeed, my breakaways usually happen when i pokecheck the puck from cpu D-man at my blueline with fresh forward. I think gamespeed 4 and acceleration 0 = most breakaways in my games.

Re: How to get breakaways - Sliders?

Here's one, playing on All-star with sliders:

gamespeed 4
acceleration 0
attr. effects 3
cpu difficulty maxed
cpu learning 0
fatigue effect 4
fatigue recovery 3
puck control 0

edit: I think setting offensive pressure to Aggressive helps, Cammalleri is already skating up the ice when he gets the puck.

Im getting plenty with my sliders for both me and the cpu. Try them out and let me know what you think

Re: How to get breakaways - Sliders?

Problem with the Cammalleri video - although a great example - is too often that diving defenseman will get a piece of the skater. It's almost like the player needs just another 1/4 step on the D and that 1/4 step is so hard to get.

Thanks for the tips

Yup, having acceleration below gamespeed is the key. Otherwise defenders are able to recover too quickly.

Re: How to get breakaways - Sliders?

Best results I've had so far. Is with gamespeed 5-6 and acceleration 0-1. So I don't think the theory about lower acc. than game speed is completely insane.
