Almost went in to tweaker mode but I stopped and decide to start a 16 team 1 game knockout Playoff Mode on default all star hardcore sliders with 8 min periods (nothing changed no penalty slider, goalies , shooting ect nothing changed )and the only change I made after being down 2-0 was game speed to 0 .

I was Ana vs Dallas and going into the 3rd Im down 3-2 and the cpu had 2 pp to my none and then all of a sudden I get a 5 on 3 PP but I couldnt do anything with it, close but no cigar and Kari made a great toe save .

Im playing well at home in the 3rd and now I get a 3rd PP on a goalie interference so no PP all game and now 3 in the 3rd but I couldnt tie it with tons of pressure and working the puck around nice so I lost 3-2.

Overall I just went with the flow of the game after giving up 2-0 quick ones and stayed calm and I guess I rather go with what the AI whips up each game then try and tweak something game in and out with all the momentum and stuff constantly changing so here are the stats

Me Ana - Stars
2 goals 3
32 shots 18
15 hits 6
9:48 Toa 5:06
68% pass 73%
18:00 PIM 18:00
3 pp 3
17 faceoff 10

Ok knocked another one out and won 4-1 with a eng , I was Colo vs Min and it was close till 9 minutes left in the 3rd .

Pretty good game as I was down 1-0 and all stats but shots and Toa were equal and we both had 2 pp and thats with super low default penalties .

I seem to out shoot the cpu a lot because I block and disrupt many shots to the net , easily 10 a game and most would probably be great scoring chances .

So I guess Ill settle with Allstar default for playoff mode for now as it unfolds pretty well overall and probably better than something I can tweak in this mode but I really do miss the physics and smooth play in play now mode .

So time to continue the Battle for the cup !

I created an International tournament last night with 16 countries so obviously its strictly just playoff mode as there is no round robin tournament style and the ice has the Stanley Cup playoff logo on it, oh well I can have Team USA win the Stanley Cup now..lol

Haha, just like real life.

Serious question, if you're a Euro fan was there even a point in buying this game this year? I mean what the heck can you really even do with all of the leagues outside of the NHL? Play now has to get old after a few weeks. I guess EA really hopes they play $HUT$.

If all those leagues weren't in the game, it would've removed a heck of a lot of HUT cards
