Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - NHL 10 Blog: So You Think You're Hardcore?

I read and watched the Hardcore Mode Blog and Videos and while the whole idea is absolutely amazing and I am so stoked to try it out, I have just one reservation.

With the manual passing, there are bound to be more errors for human players when passing to teammates. My question or concern is whether or not the CPU will also have more innaccurate passes? It would be frustrating as all 'get out' to have a tough time learning the passing while the CPU is still lazering passes all over the ice...leading to inevitable defeat.

The good thing is that you have included so many sliders that this may be offset by either playing Hardcore on a lesser difficulty or with sliders weakening the CPU's passing abilities first, or others if necessary to 'even the field' or ice in this case.

Outta curiousity...if one were to not like the manual passing, is it optional to be turned 'off' while still playing Hardcore so that you don't lose the other benefits like enhanced player differentiation, etc?

Any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks.
