Cross-crease setup (Pt2)

I accidentally closed my original thread. The original advise in the 1st thread helped some but the issue still happens..to recap...

My friend and I are new to NHL and just got NHL24 on PS4. We play each other online with stock teams. I have tried to learn the mechanics and strategies...my friend just plays. He doesn't change strategies, change lineups or even use Icon passing. Mainly he just waits in the neutral zone for his AI to get the puck from me, string passes to his player in the neutral zone, then his team rushes down and he ALWAYS has a player on the opposite side to slam in the cross crease goal.

My AI seem to just do whatever they want on breakout.

I made a video showing how he is able to score most of the time and how my team just doesnt follow the same pattern....

this happens with any team i use and Ive reset them all to default so its not like I have some weird strategy that would confuse the AI movement. But since its every team I use and I've and also been getting beat with this play often online by other random players. I figure there's got to be something I'm doing wrong.

Any advice is appreciated.

I play overload with 0 cycle/shoot. 0 on enter zone. Max on hustle/energy.

Weakside lock with full forecheck. 

Full attack, blue to blue and leave zone early.

I've got top 50 in HUT champs twice for reference.

Aiming low blocker is better than forcing cross creases. And making the defender switch. 

Mastering passing and AI movement is the best tips you can have. The top players usually have high 80s %. That and lay off the hustle button.
