I did the same thing a few days ago Mizz.

But the issue I was hoping would be helped, for me...really wasn't. So I reloaded everything.

My problem is, I just can't score enough to be competitive in my BEAGM. I really enjoy the gameplay on AS. But damn...scoring for me is very tough. I'm just too freaking slow to take advantage of decent scoring chances. I like this game just too much to give up. So I'm going to keep at it. I'm going to try bumping up my shot power a bit, to see if that helps.

Are you on defaults? I don't like slowing down the speed of the game and I think that helps me score more. It comes and goes though.. I do score more on pro like I should, but I also totally dominate in shots on goal.

I'll play some more tonight as just a few games is not enough to see if it really has helped. I did score on two clear wristers though!

Yep Mizz, I'm back pretty much to default settings.

I'm playing All-Star "normal". I do however have the game speed set at 1, and the AI learning/face off difficulty at 3. Also...I've been using the latest turner set.

For my skill level [or lack there of] AS is damn near perfect for me. I really enjoy the gameplay a lot. But yeah...scoring enough has been a problem. I see a lot on replays, the many scoring chances I've blown, because I just react too dang slow. And that of course is on me...not the game. If I can just get quicker on the sticks, I'll be in great shape.

Had a wild 5 to 5 game last night and lost in the shootout!

Yeah thats a lot of goals for this years game Mizz.

Myself, I just can't do Shootouts. Deking is another one of my weakness. So I'd lose nearly every time. Heck, I'm happy just to get a tie.

My skill level sounds to be right around yours, vikes... Try upping your shot power to 5 and see if that helps. I score more with it here, and am using an All-Star slider set from DM

Yep Silver, I have tried upping my shot power. And your right, it does help.

But I'm such a freaking fussbudget about sliders, that I turned the shot power back to default. One other thing too though...personally, it kinda bothered me how my shots looked so much faster than the cpu's. My shots looked kind of out of place with the rest of the gameplay. Because they looked like they were being shot out of a cannon. I don't know...like I said, I'm just too dang fussy. But thanks for the tip anyway Silver.
