Yes, even with reaction time set to 0, I find the CPU goalie's recovery time to be out of this world!

The CPU is noticably worse now after the patch on "pro" diff. and it is driving me nuts, but i don't want to play on all-star because the game should be fun for me and i've never liked all-star but...

1. they don't take shots when they are obviosly wide open
2. they are scared to enter the zone even when they are on a breakaway practically
3. They pass the puck a million times before shooting and i usually end up intercepting their passes before they get a shot off

I've had to up CPU difficulty adjustment to 6, and they still can't get more than 18-20 shots on goal in a game against me...i've been making notes of every game i play on a chart (score, shots on goal, faceoffs, PP, and PIMS) and i can definitely see that i'm scoring more since the patch and also the CPU getting WAY less shots on goal even w/ the cpu difficulty adjustment. And i play on "pro" level. But it's obvious for the way i play, statistically speaking, that the game was more accurate before the patch.

I have yet to outshoot the CPU on All-Star or Superstar in about 10 games post-patch.

Agreed.

I too have set the cpu goalies reaction speed to zero. And for me...I'm having a tough time telling zero from default. I really stink at scoring. So my opinions on the goalies abilities are most likely skewed. But dang, I have a helluva time scoring a realistic amount of goals.

I'm still hoping with more experience...the goals will come. I'd much rather have this problem though, than scoring too much. That imo, would be far worse.

CPU defense is tons better with this patch. It's actually possible now to play with a CPU defensemen back there in an online game.

Too bad your AI teammates remain completely clueless on offense:



The two things that need fixing the most right now are the AI goalies (still too hard to score clean shots on them) and the AI's (lack of) offensive smarts.

Why do people complain about not scoring clean goals.... I score them off wristers and slappers all the time. It's probably the way people play. You can't score cleanly on a goalie if he can see you all the way. Try to get infront of a defender or forward and either wrist it or do a half slap shot (don't pull the right stick down all the way to do the slapper).
