The point in that is that you are clearly not good enough so you need to either stop complaining about not being good enough to beat the computer or play on an easier difficulty.

Thanks for staying on topic with your 3rd post.

One thing that I wish would have been fixed in this patch is the fact that I wish that the top tier players played more like top tier players. I'm on the Penguins and in 48 games Crosby has scored a total of 16 goals. For someone rated 97 (I'm in my 3rd year on BAP) I would expect more scoring and better play. Scoring is no different from my 3rd line to the 1st line; I've even had games where my 3rd line has scored 3-4 goals while the first line was held scoreless.

I've been tweaking some sliders and I like the gameplay I have right now. My biggest issue is shot accuracy and power. I've been going back and forth between acc. and power at 3/4 and 4/5. 3/4 gives me more missed shots which I like but it seems the CPU has a hard time scoring there and it feels like the D-man goal from the point disappears. I'm interested to hear some thoughts and sliders. The other parts of the gameplay seem great, except that the CPU goes WAY overboard with the protect puck feature.

Thanks for letting me know its my 3rd post as if i didnt know. Since you have more posts you are clearly more intelligent. I was staying on topic. I was referring to someone else's post. Stop putting yourself on a pedistol.

Gentlemen, please stop with the bickering. Thank you...

I've played a few games offline and the CPU is definitely better. I'm getting my butt kicked some games. You really have to bear down and focus much more.

The CPU is getting better quality shots. Frustrating but challenging. You have to keep it fun.

My last 3 games have had an average of 7 or 8 goals total per game. I just lost 6-5 last night and the last time I played that team pre-patch it was 2-1. My goals were scored off rebounds, one-timers, powerplay point shot top corner and a short handed wrist shot fluke goal.

I need to sharpen my D skills or I'm going to miss the playoffs in my franchise at this rate.

I think it's been great post patch, I just need to win again, it's been a few games since I've done that

You made my point in the last post. Thanks, even though he still doesn't get it we can let it go as QB suggested.
