Penalties are "BROKEN"

[BigBadAss33]

Well, Im 4 games into my FRANCHISE and this game has major issues.

I could deal with the little problems in 18 but these are absolutely horrendously bad issues.

1. TOO MANY PENALTIES - 4 games in and i have had 60 power plays.
2. GODS in NET.. Goalies are unbeatable. I cant score for anything. Im not talking about you avg ordinary shot saves but WIDE OPEN - 1 TIMERS cherry picked like its no big deal. Seriously ridiculous..

3. My AI players wont freaking shoot when wide open!!!!
4. MAJOR changes to slider impact.

This game has serious potential but EA needs to hire the slider gurus on here to help them out...

So frustrated.. i want to quit.. UGGGG

set slashing to 0 , just like in that other thread I posted, here I go test it right now.

I definitely agree on the goalies and sliders. Goalies are WAY too inconsistent, and not realistic at all. They will stop 50 amazing shots in a row, then let in 3 weak shots from the blue line. There are also FAR too many individual sliders in this game, I remember counting them one time and it was near 80! Talk about slideritus... the 1-100 scale just doesn't feel good to me either. Always baffled me how they went from a 1-6 scale to a 1-100 scale, without even trying 1-10 or 1-20 first. I like the way The Show does it best, about 25 sliders covering the essentials, on a 1-10 scale where you can really feel the difference between each click up or down on the scale.

Glad I'm not alone on the goalies..

These guys are moving around like Cuban dancers at a Miami club..

Real goalies can't cover side to side anywhere near this well (and quickly!)

Yes the goalies are super hard to score on.
I started the slider at 50 for both AI and Human.
Now down to 40 with the shot aim at 55 -60 for both AI And Human.


Still the average score is 2-1 or 3-2 in OT. Doesn't makes sense.
I've seen the goalie way out of position, an open net in close, and the player (both AI and Human controlled) hit the post or shoot way off and the goalie makes the save.


This occurs on both AI and Human controlled with shot aim at auto and manual.
