    Hopefully they'll have one more patch coming.. haven't plaeyd the game in about a month and a half what with newer games and the cpu offensive AI being too predictable... At the least I would have hoped they would address the online play and tweak the goalies to stop the one-timer fest...

      Yep DG...I'm at least starting to turn the corner on All-Star too.

      I believe one of the reasons for me getting better is...someone [can't remember who] suggested using "tight point" as a defensive strategy. I really think this has helped a lot. I was using the "collapsing" strategy for quite a while. The collapsing strategy seemed to help the cpu to have the open ice to have a shooting gallery against me. Whereas the tight point, seems to put a man on man type of coverage. Not giving up nearly as much open ice. I'm far from an expert...but this seems to be whats happening with the tight point.

      Also, my players seem to be better at contesting the neutral zone now as well. Vs letting the cpu have a free skate into my zone. I'm also learning to be a bit more patient with the puck down deep. Instead of just shooting at any given chance. I still don't win too often. But my scoring is going up, and like you, my penalty time is going down. For awhile there, I thought I just couldn't compete on AS. But yeah...I'm slowly coming around too.

        do you use any custom music? i had freezes after the patch as well, i deleted the menu music i was using and havent had a freeze since.

          I use custom sounds for in-game situations (goals, penalty, off-play, etc.), not for the menu. I'll try a game in a different profile and see what happens.

          Have you tried playing a game with or against San Antonio? Do you have any other music set, or is everything on default?

          EDIT: I was able to "start fresh" in another profile and play a game against San Antonion (well, I didn't finish, but I got to the game), however, I set all the music back to the default playlist on my regular profile and my game still froze. In fact, I "started fresh" (no settings file) on my regular profile, skipped the tutorial, and the game still froze. Hrmm...

              If you play with manual line changes the player will go off the ice in that situation if you make a line or d-pair change. I know that's not the answer you're looking for but it can keep you from being shorthanded in the meantime.

                Thanks for the heads up Ether.

                Looking forward to finding out what this tuner set will bring.

                  Good to hear a new tuning set will be available.

                  I fired this game up the other day after a 2.5-week layoff (thanks, E74 error) and scored 6 goals my first game back! I was using the latest tuner set, too, so I guess you can still score goals in this game.

                  I did bump the CPU pass accuracy up 2 notches and it does directly affect the number of shots they take. I think shots were 27-26 in favor of the CPU (I play 9-min. periods) in the game I played.

                    Wow I still hope they pop a second patch out in time for the playoffs maybe to address some of the AI and goalie issues.. it seems all these tuner updates ever do is mess with the manual pass speed (which was a good idea but seems like nobody uses it)

                        Just got the game yesterday and I am liking it so far. I started a be a pro mode (All-star difficulty) and got lucky and got a hat trick my first game for the lightning.

                        Did they get rid of playing for AHL teams in be a pro mode?

                          No, you have a chance to stick with the NHL team for like 4 games. If you don't do well enough, they send you down.

                            Maybe I should give this one a shot. Don't really follow the sport, but I've enjoyed hockey games in the past.

                              I ended up picking this up today and I'm having a blast. I'm still a little shaky on the controls, but it's a very fun game. This is the first hockey title I've owned since Rivals, so it's been a while.
