Re: Help with Scoring?
I only purchased this game about 2 or 3 months ago, and hadn't played any NHL games in a long time, probably since 00'. So I had quite a few posts on here and got some great tips.
The tip that helped me the most, by far? Turn on auto aim. If you don't completely understand hockey, auto aim is your friend. I had it on manual aim for about my first 20 games, and constantly had games, like you, where I'd score 0 goals through 3 periods, or 1-1, and in the off chance I scored 2 goals, it was by miracle. Unfortunately, it's not a permanent option. Meaning before each game, when you're at the screen right after the 'team select' screen. You have to go to 'gameplay options' before EVERY game, and on the first or second page you'll see 'home line changes, home shooting, away line changes, away shooting' and let's say you're home. it'll ALWAYS be on manual shooting by default, so move that to auto.
Now some people, myself included, at first anyway. Feel as though it's kinda cheating and not fair. But the reality is you're simply rewarded for taking good shots. If you take a slap shot while the goalie is sprawled or you beat him with a one timer or a deke or whatever the case. Your shot, which most would typically screw up on, just has a better chance of going in and being accurate. You can still take 50 shots and only score once or twice, it happens. So don't think with auto aim on you'll score 20 times on 22 shots. Because it's not even close to that. But it is completely worth trying and doing. I may go back to manual shooting at some point, when I understand the game a little better. But that's the tip that has helped me more than anything else.
You seem like you're doing all the right things, cycling, passing, trying to set deflections and rebounds. With auto aim on, you'll finally be rewarded for those things.
Hope this helps.
