Try lowering the hitting sliders, I have it set at 25 and the game plats much better, averaging 25 hits per team in franchise mode, 7 mins periods
So I assume the problem is solved by playing on pro difficulty with reasonable sliders? Are you?
All-Star and superstar difficulties have the AI throw realism out the window and tryhard to beat you. Pro seems like a hockey simulation, but maybe I'm wrong.
I've been switching between pro and all star. The difference between both are huge. I can win with ease on pro but up it a level and its mental. I can win on all star but I'm still getting hit from all directions. I always played on Superstar until this year. I can't keep up with the CPU. Their passing and checking is off the scale. Scoring a goal is an achievement its self, never mind winning. Anything above pro and the goalies save everything other than the ones you'd expect them to save.
Still enjoying the game but a few tweaks here and there would improve the gameplay.
Which slider in particular? I have CPU hitting power and aggression at 10 the highest.
I'm playing all-star franchise and have hitting at 25 for both h and cpu and aggression for cpu at 75. 7 min periods and its not a problem. I do have other slider changes
