Goalie and defensive AI are still blind as bats...but at least we can listen to music after you get scored on

[shogunofharlem3]

to me gameplay is pretty good. really hoping for an AI improvement. Also hoping they fix the fact you can't put a defenseman on a wing during the powerplay. Thats not a huge but the B's do it all the time and stick Chara in front but it won't work here

What slider settings to you use ???

I use mostly Friddy's but still at 6 for my goalie I get average of 4 goals scored on me a game.
The CPU shot slider is at 0 or 1.
The CPU Difficulty at 0 or 1,
AI learing at mostly 0, 1 or 2 occasionaly, or 3 rarely.
Attribute Effect at 3 or 4.

Of course with my sliders at almost the same or a bit above...I score maybe 2 goals. on Superstar or Pro. All-Star is a bit closer in goal differential.

I have played NHL10, 11, 12 and 13 mostly the same way and never had it so lopsided with such extreme slider setting differences??

major penalties are not all game misconducts now.

penalties seem to get called more.

in one game a team we played hit whole game, they had 10 penalties called, 1 was a major with no ejection.

It's updated. Doesn't look like much for gameplay, more about fixing crashes.

Hmmm,
I still had the problem where player of my team are trying to go on a line change during pp/pk but are stuck on the ice (in BaGM/BGMC as far as I know).
This seems to happen more and more now. Countless times I'm on the PP but can only see 4 of my players when I've entered the zone. Pause and check the replay and one of my players is seen skating against the boards all alone, forever.

This is a "serious" issue, especially as we're not exactly graced with humongous amounts of PP's every game.
