NHL 2K10 Roster Update Available

They shoot from the face-off circles entirely too much. At least in game the strategies hold from the coaching screen before you go into the game.

Just seems like the gameplay has taken a turn for the worse during the last two roster updates, imo.

Venom's changes were only included in the last roster update, not the last two. They are fairly easy to revert if people don't like them though.

I think they are fine,but a poll would be better to see the opinions of players. I like them because they allow for teams to play differently everygame.

Shadow, could you please post what exactly each Attribute means. I would like to create some of the AHL players that are missing, but I'm stumped as to what Influence, Courage, and some other Attributes actually effect or if they even have much importance.

Yeah it may have something to do with it, although the CPU will shoot too much period, even with shot freq at 0 and pass freq almost maxed. Another thing to try is raising cpu one timer freq. Although i'm still trying to get the Dmen to stop pinching so deep. There are still too many breakaways even when your strategy is "stay back"

I have onetimers set to 75, which does seem to force the cpu to cycle more. Nonetheless, they shoot far too often from the faceoff circle as dfb commented.

Thanks, Shadow. Couldn't remember exactly how many they were applied to. For now, I'll try to work with them because I'd rather have each team play their style. Right now, I'm tweaking my sliders a bit to compensate for some of the gameplay issues I've been experiencing, and so far, that's been working out alright. Keep up the great support, bud!

Not sure about courage, but maybe the influence rating works the way leadership did in NFL2k5. Leadership improved the consistency rating of other players on the field.

NHL doesn't have a consistency rating, but perhaps players with high influence give small boosts to other players on the ice in certain categories that the player is strong in; improving awareness, accuracy etc.

Just a thought.

Just posted them in the sliders section. I've only played a couple of games with them, so they're far from being finalized. Nonetheless, feel free to try them out and give some feedback.
