I found the key to getting the CPU to score goals against you... you just have to suck at defense like me.
I played two games against the Penguins last night and lost 8-3 (OUCH) and 4-3 in OT. I haven't played an NHL game since 08 so i'm starting out on Pro, but i'm still getting my butt kicked! I do love the way the game plays this year, and i've had really good stats with these... 12 minutes seems perfect. The attributes slider seems to really make a difference too because Crosby has just been killing me.
Using default sliders all my games were 1-0 or 2-1, so it was nice to finally see some scoring from both sides. Great work!
