Auto Aim (yes or no)

[DirtyJerz32]

Just wanted to get what settings everyone plays on.

I haven't purchased the game yet because I can't score (auto aim off) to save my life and I feel cheap turning AA on.

What do you guys use?

I use auto "on" - but i'm a 39 year old fart that has trouble on the sticks and need all the help i can get.

I keep it off, although sometimes I still find myself falling into the "shooting trap" where I always aim top corner, glove side on shots. I've played the series a lot since 07 and I still make this same mistake. You can play with autoaim off, but you have to change up your shot aiming (high, low, middle, left, right, etc).

It has been my experience that shooting to the same few spots over and over will make it much harder to score in the game.

I like to have as much control over the game as possible......I keep auto aim OFF

I play with it of more than I ever have, but auto-aim on makes for the most realistic game.

Basically, with it on, there is no real penalty for taking shots with bad players. But with it on, your better players will find twine more often than the your grinders.

Last year the rant was no clean goals. Of course, with auto-aim on, there were plenty. It was just that the experts were poor aims, themselves.

I love the idea of controlling my shot, but the reality is, I aim for the top corner over and and over again. And so does everybody else i play online.

The only reason I play with it off now is that I do like HUT, and EA won't let AA be used in in that mode.

But yeah, i expect a lot of comments that people feel somewhat empowered and rewarded by spamming the top corners of the net every game.

Big "OFF"
Could never feel the satisfaction if I score, and the puck didn't even go where I was aiming.
Control is everything.

On for me. Im not very good

[Money99]

I flip-flop between on and off for auto-aim.
I usually like to have CPU control certain things such as shooting and passing as I want the attributes to mean something.
Just because I'm good, or bad, with the sticks, shouldn't dictate if the guy I'm controlling is dependent on that either.

To me, having the CPU control these aspects means we're seeing how the players should play, and not how I'm making them play. If that makes sense.
