    Auto Aim (yes or no)

    Just wanted to get what settings everyone plays on.

    I haven't purchased the game yet because I can't score (auto aim off) to save my life and I feel cheap turning AA on.

    What do you guys use?

      I keep it off, although sometimes I still find myself falling into the "shooting trap" where I always aim top corner, glove side on shots. I've played the series a lot since 07 and I still make this same mistake. You can play with autoaim off, but you have to change up your shot aiming (high, low, middle, left, right, etc).

      It has been my experience that shooting to the same few spots over and over will make it much harder to score in the game.

          I play with it of more than I ever have, but auto-aim on makes for the most realistic game.

          Basically, with it on, there is no real penalty for taking shots with bad players. But with it on, your better players will find twine more often than the your grinders.

          Last year the rant was no clean goals. Of course, with auto-aim on, there were plenty. It was just that the experts were poor aims, themselves.

          I love the idea of controlling my shot, but the reality is, I aim for the top corner over and and over again. And so does everybody else i play online.

          The only reason I play with it off now is that I do like HUT, and EA won't let AA be used in in that mode.

          But yeah, i expect a lot of comments that people feel somewhat empowered and rewarded by spamming the top corners of the net every game.

            Big "OFF"
            Could never feel the satisfaction if I score, and the puck didn't even go where I was aiming.
            Control is everything.

            Thank you EA - This game is officially better than sex

                I flip-flop between on and off for auto-aim.
                I usually like to have CPU control certain things such as shooting and passing as I want the attributes to mean something.
                Just because I'm good, or bad, with the sticks, shouldn't dictate if the guy I'm controlling is dependent on that either.

                To me, having the CPU control these aspects means we're seeing how the players should play, and not how I'm making them play. If that makes sense.

                  I switched over to auto-aim off back in NHL09. It was tough at first but I just kept at it and slowly started to get a hang of it. You know, like keeping an eye on the goalie if he leaves one side open more than the other or for generally good spots to shoot. It's a learning process

                  And I've never been much of a sniper, I prefer to play with position lock on and in BaP or EASHL, I'm always a dedicated RW playmaker so I don't bother much with shooting.

                  Oh and as for why I switched over? I guess like many others, I like having control for myself and knowing that if I score a big clutch goal in OT or playoffs or something, it's all me and not the CPU helping out.

                    On: against cpu teams, because I believe there is more of a "sim" factor this way.

                    Off: against human controlled teams. I know online is automatically off but, I do play against friends in season mode. Our rule is "on" against cpu, and "off" against human.

                        i use it against the cpu bc again, IMO, you will see much more goal variety.

                        it seems like another year of top shelf goals online, over and over and over again.. after playing eashl games, its nice to play a game offline and see some better variety.

                          Big "no" as well. I try to go for deflections as well so I like having some control in where the puck goes. Now passing on the other hand...

                              One other thing, I also feel I have a tougher time scoring on auto aim. With manual I find it to easy. Anybody else feel the same way?
