CPU is always quicker than me

[TNKNGM]

I am playing on All-Star with my sliders that I am going to release shortly

A few things that are bothering me
1) It just seems that the CPU is always the quicker team

2) The CPU does not tire as easily as me, I can go through 3 line changes before the CPU takes their 1st line off the ice and I have 3 tired lines

3) The responsiveness just isn't there.....I even turned off manual passing but there is just that little slight delay that gets exposed even more when the CPU magically seems to have another gear that the human player doesn't.

Anybody else feel this way or have any suggestions?

I get that "delayed" feel as well. Not sure if I'm doing it right, but when I try and deliver a body check, i'll "push" or move the right stick, and there is this second delay before he performs that "check"motion, in which case, the player has already skated by.

Trying another controller to see if that is the issue.

I get that a lot.. so i think it's either timing or delay like u said in the game in general as I play on Pro and that occurs to me quite a bit.. sometimes I'd see someone at the board I'm like ohh I'm coming and next thing u know he just skates there and hugs the other players or just try to hump him

The CPU uses hustle. Make sure you do, too.

How do you use hustle??

I tend to get the same feeling. The computer on All-Star isn't "better" or "smarter" just juiced attributes.

This covers the entire gamut. From faceoffs to checking to general skating.

Overall I'm not too bothered by it. I finally decided that All-Star was just an obnoxious and switched to a more amped up Pro.
