I've gotten called for it too. Once in each of my last two games.

I've also, a number of games ago, got called for boarding as well. Man...I'm turning into a cheap shot artist.

I'm thinking I may lower that a tad and see if that makes a difference.

I think you may be right about the AI learning DJ.

I too had gotten off to a fairly decent start the first few games. I was at least scoring a few goals. And then...the door seemingly got slammed shut.

Myself...I'm not really too sure on just how the AI learning works. My suspicion is, that it has more to do with what kind of goals the cpu goalies will allow over time. Rather than the AI learning really affecting the other positions. Again...just my guess.

I have experimented with adjusting the slider. However, I can't say with any certainty that it upped my scoring. It seemed to...but then the door got slammed shut again! Of course I really stink at scoring to begin with. So my views are pretty shaky.

Yeah, I'm not a proficient goal-scorer, either, so I may just be flat-out struggling. But, it does seem that recently the goalies have been "super-human" and stopping everything I'm throwing at them.

I'm going to lower AI Learning for a few games and report back any changes.

I had scoring issues post-patch as well, but I think I've fixed it by switching back to tuner version 1.1. Before the patch on this tuner version I had a real nice variety in games (some blowouts, some nail-biters, some low-scoring, some high-scoring, etc.). After I downloaded the patch I scored 4 goals in a 5 game stretch. Then I realized in my sliders I had it set on "Latest Tuner Version". I switched back to version 1.1 and I seem to have the variety back through the first few games after the switch. I think tuner versions after 1.1 have really killed the goal scoring.

Anyway, it's helped me and anyone having scoring issues post-patch may want to try it. Just change the tuner version back to the earlier one.

Interesting. I'll give that a try.

I have an XBOX 360.

How do I set my game to tuner version 1.1??? Where do I go to set it. I have scoring issues also it seems.

It's right in with the slider screens.

It's in one of the first screens. Near the top of the screen, where you can adjust the game speed, attribute slider, etc..

I deleted everything, loaded NHL 10 back up, d/l the rosters and played two great games on AS defaults last night.

Can't wait to get some more time in this week.
