URGENT: CPU aggression & hitting needs to be toned down
I don't come here lightly saying something is totally "broken" but the CPU aggressiveness is way off the mark, to the extent I have difficulty enjoying the game at all. It has never been like this before. I toned CPU aggression down to 0/100, and CPU still averages 20 hits per period with 7 minute periods. I repeat, with aggression toned down to 0/100, CPU is putting up like 70 hits per game. This is clearly wrong and should be addressed immediately. Regardless of game speed, skating speed or hitting power, the CPU players are constantly rushing at you with one objective: laying out the body. It's the only thing they know. Even in your own zone it's hard to make simple passing plays without being demolished. And if you manage to get to the offensive zone, good luck trying using the ICE-Q when you have five opposing players doing one thing and one thing only: hitting, hitting and hitting. Again, with CPU aggression slider at ZERO. This needs to be addressed ASAP and I hope people experiencing the same issue can share their thoughts below. I play offline season mode and have never experienced this issue to this extent in decades of playing NHL video games.
