In franchise mode, the computer controlled teams are able to build up almost HALF of the pressure meter by simply entering the zone and getting one “great shot” on goal on pro difficulty and higher, which is not reciprocated for human controlled gameplay. The CPU should not feel as if they are wildly favored for sustained pressure over 1 shot while entering a zone. Also, please adjust the rate at which goalies are attempting desperation saves for every little thing when the opposing team gets sustained pressure. A goalie does not do a cartwheel after saving a puck that was shot from the point and directing a rebound to the corner. It is not contextually accurate…like at all, ever. And while we’re at it, the rate to which my players stamina depletes when under pressure, when they are players fresh off of the bench, should not ever happen. Teams should not be rewarded as heavily against new lines versus keeping the current line on the ice. Also, that stamina depletion almost feels non existent for the CPU when they are under pressure. I am being beaten to the puck by players with a completely empty stamina bar when mine is still in the green, when I have the pressure advantage. Somebody should flip the bird to the game execs and just push out good content. I bet the developers are screaming into their pillows at night bc they know they pushed out a half measured game.
