Pass completion rate

[Rattler17]

So I'm starting to notice the computer has a nice gift in so much as it seems able to anticipate the pass and make a move toward the player before you can even really release the pass button, i just finished a game where the computer managed to pick off over 70 passes, now I might think that its me but I'm starting to think otherwise, i have their pass interception slider zeroed out completely and still this seems to usually equal me losing the game based on the fact none of the passes needed to move the goalie seem to get to their desired target.

Have you tried maxing out the human pass accuracy slider and pass reception slider?? Those could help cut down on the AI from snagging so many of your passes.

[Rattler17]

See ive thought about that aswell but then i think that may cause me to score far too many goals, I know it seems like i want the best of both worlds but i really only want the computer to NOT pick off all the damn passes i try to move while on a PP or even worse on a PK

I hear ya.....that could lead to other problems (i.e. too many human goals, cpu not getting enough puck possession time, etc.....).

I am struggling with same problem as it is near impossible to get any decent point blank shots on goal close in via passes. The AI really plays tight defense and cuts those passes off to near perfection against me. I've got my pass accuracy pretty high and their pass interception zeroed out and still can not get any passes to guys making cuts to the middle....SIGH!! The AI on the other hand has no problem doing this as my AI defensive team mates at every defensive pressure setting and fore check formation will let guys slip by them all game long receiving pin point perfection passes. Really annoying that the AI's defense gets so much more pressure than my team can muster and I'm playing with the Blackhawks.

When I am able to get a guy inside for a point blank shot on goal, The AI will have two or three guys converge on my puck carrier and body check him before I can shoot. That's something else I can't seem to get my team to do as well as the AI team. If there is contact made it's only because I've done so with my controlled player.....it's a real shame that team mates will not do this, but then again if they are too effective the AI will have unrealistictally low shots on goal......UGGH!!!

There's times I just want to give up on gaming altogether, Hahaha

Attack time is about the same for me and the cpu but they always steal the puck from me so easily. Whether it be with a small bump, poke check or anything, they get the puck away even if sliders are really in my favor.


CPU averages about a 70% pass accuracy per game while I average around 55% accuracy per game with my pass accuracy at the 2nd highest it can go.

This is exactly my problem. The CPU is in position to intercept almost every pass. There's no way to catch anyone out of position unless you set your speed to way higher than the AI speed. The CPU defense never actually makes any 'mistakes'

[Bama83]

I can make the computer make mistakes and put guys out of position, it's when I try to take advantage of it - the CPU goes warp speed to affect the play.

So, what was a beautiful, open play is instantly covered the moment I make the pass.

[XFactah416]

I must make really short, conservative passes, because my passing % is usually in the 70s.

I do agree though that the computer has a tendency to be able to "jump" the passing lanes really well though.
