Very big problem

[vick215]

Like many others I have been trying to make 20 to 17 minute periods work.
I have figured out that even on rookie the computer gets it to the net way to much I have everything at zero including shot power and accuracy and they are still shooting but now its going through my defenders. This has got to be a joke I played 3 games on rookie like this and they still got 30 shots the only time you can stop them is if you play around with the puck for a big amount of time. We all know that NHL12 the computer does not cycle well they just shoot but how come when Im online computer is cycling the puck great (when its just the computer players playing the puck). I have no idea about this years game last year I played 17 minute periods and had great games also the computer averaged 26 to 30 shots on net so I am all out of ideas and with that I am going back to nhl 11 and will be working on rosters for that game. Real hockey fans should be banging there heads right now

Dude... I've gotten 30 shots on 5 minute periods. 30 shots is realistic for the game of hockey. The average shots per game is probably 27-32 per team, somewhere in there.

Real Hockey fans should not be banging their heads right now, since this is realistic.

Unless you meant for period or something like that. But I didn't see that, so I'm still assuming it's per every game.

Uhm, yeah... 26-30 shots that's pretty good isn't it?

But...
Instead of lowering shot sliders, increase pass sliders.
On previous games this made the CPU want to pass more instead of shooting.

Also you might wanna check if you can fiddle with the one-timer. If you raise it for the CPU, as well as raising the passing, it'll make the CPU try to cycle and pass for a one timer shot instead of just shooting.


You basically need to give the cpu an option instead of shooting.


But as mentioned above, I'd be pretty happy with around 30 shots... maybe not on Rookie though.

your talking about playing it on 5 minutes so then you dont get the hits or the penalties right? I dont want to sacrifice for shots on net you should be able to play 20 minute periods with shots on key about 30 what your saying is play on 5 minute periods Not realistic

[JezFranco]

I don't think that's what we're saying.

To me that is saying you are getting a realistic amount of shots or is that per period with the period length at 17 minutes.

Having the same problem here, the AI teammates and the CPU doesn't seem to pass the puck on the offense in order to have a quality shot, they just shoot from wherever they are. Does anyone have any suggestion to fix that?

lol dude on 5 minute periods I get realistic amount of penalties too.

If long periods aren't working for you then don't play long periods. This game is designed for the average person who won't play much more than 10 minutes.
