there a way to get breakaways?

[nystyle]

ive played 13 games now and have had 3 breakaways total on all star. is there a slider adjustment that needs to be made that I am not seeing? i dont want an unrealistic amount, but teams get more or less 1-2 every 2-3 games id say and 3 in 13 games in ridiculous.

2-3 a game?

Definitely no. Maybe against crappy teams, but rarely do you see more than one break-away a game. And most of the time they are off of turnovers/ mistakes.

3-4 a game IS unrealistic. 3 in 13 is normal.

i didnt say 3-4 a game. can you read man? I watched the last 3 devils games. saw 5 breakaways....just sayin they do happen at times at these rates so 3 in 13 is a far fetch my friend.

be happy with your 3 in 13 games. i have had 1 in 22 games. 1 a game would be realistic in my opinion. like the other poster said it comes off turnovers and mistakes and this year the cpu doesnt seem to make many of either.

Try using a saucer pass for outlet passes if a guy is behind the D. I've gotten breakaways from the puck bouncing over the D-Men's stick and hitting my winger.

Man...for me, breakaways are truly a rare thing.

Yeah, I wish the cpu would make a few more errant passes/mistakes too...that would lead to at least a few breakaways here and there.

I usually get one a game. It's about knowing hockey front and back and seeing the ice and the potential openings before they happen. Your camera might also be hindering your ability to see the ice as if you were actually on it as different people have different feels, try the angle.

Last game, the CPU had 3 on me... and 3 penalty shots as I took them down from behind.
