Breakaways for the CPU ???

[jonapaloma]

has anyone noticed that the CPU can very easily score on a breakaway. They seem almost always deke the goalie for a easy goal.

Just to check if they could do it every time I let the CPU get 5 breakaways in a row and every time they deked out the goalie.

Bug/glitch anyone?

I can deke out the goalie every time too. Backhand, forehand, goal.

Whenever my CPU goes on a breakaway, they almost always skate into the goalie or do a deke into the goalies pads...

I play with goaltender reaction at 5 for the CPU, now I tend to score a lot less on breakaways while the goalies have remained human enough to still beat.

Now, when it comes to giving up breakaway goals...I've found its best to try REALLY hard not to give them up.

Gotta think in NHL 11. I like that.

Yep OBG...I try my best not to give them up either.

The cpu is pretty deadly on the breakaways, with a talented player especially. As it should be imo. I use a 2-1-2 high strategy for the reason of trying to not let anyone get behind me. Of course nothings perfect, but that strategy works pretty well.

Your so right about having to think in this years game. Myself...I only press hard and pinch in deep only when I have to. With last years game, Robo goalie saved me while I was busy doing stupid things. Not this year. The cpu players are just too good now, and the goalies are more of what they should be like....human-like. Yep, I enjoy it too.

Couldn't agree more Vikes.
Like you said, last year when the CPu got a breakaway, you just had to rush back and try to control the rebound, as they failed to score 8 out of 10 times.

This time, you really feel obligated to try to trip them if you can, because they will score.

I haven't really noticed that actually.. maybe 'cause I usually end up behind the player and do a dive pokecheck.. most of hte time I end up knocking the puck out and it's still in play, only tripped the cpu once or twice so far.. guess I've just been lucky lol. Eventhough I've been using OBG's slider, so the goalies reactions are pretty high but makes it lot fun to play, even the goalies would make an awesome save during the breakaway.. we (me and the cpu) have both been robbed by goals that I couldn't believe my eyes lol.

The CPU breakaways in this game is a problem. sometime it can be a game killer. (when they scores againt you for 3 out of 3)
I just trip them, and get the penalty shot against me.
