True, but Kennedy and Staal shouldn't have more goals the Crosby which is what has happened in my BAP, so that's unrealistic. I think a center rated 97 should probably lead the team in goals scored and not 5th like he is on my team.

Anyway, I have taken a break from this game for the time being as I just can't score after the patch. Maybe some time off will be good and I can change my approach when I do get back to the game.

I'm liking the patch more and more; I played as the Devils vs. Chicago online last night. I jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead, then became undisciplined. I attempted too many big hits and put my defenders out of position as a result. I gave up a ton of point-blank chances and ended up losing 4-2. But it was my own fault for not playing smart positional hockey and not picking my spots better when looking to land a hard check. Earlier, I played as the Rangers vs. Pittsburgh and jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a guy who then quit. He was going for too many open-ice hits, which gave me a ton of odd-man rushes and he was looking for the perfect shot (i.e. one-timer in the slot) too often. I guess he realized that you can't play arcade-style anymore.
