Hey Steven, not sure man. LOL. I've had some frustrating games myself, but IMO go and turn AI Learning down from 6 to 0. Maybe that will help you.
They really are not too shabby. Nothing like the others on the boards, as for the sloppiness, but a solid mix IMO.
I have started messing with a 5/6 minute period slider set the last 48 hours. The 8-10 minute period games for me get tiresome. Like Money99 has mentioned a few times in other threads, time is limited and I just don't want a game lasting 45-60 real time minutes.
I've actually found a solid "feel" to the game with this test set. Now I'm just trying to nail down the shot totals (57/60 combined). I'm pretty close, just some more tinkering. If I start seeing too many goals, easy fix will be to raise some goalie sliders a tad and boom, done.
I know everyone plays different, these would be more of a default EA feel with a side of Fiddy. Making that pre set full sim play how it should out of the box.
For me to play through a season and a half again this year I need a 5/6 minute slider set. I will use the opening night roster they release and go from there. No waiting on this or that, just start and go.
I'll post them within the next day or two.
