I won't buy the next one until I see that it has changed (which I guess I'll be long gone before that). they keep saying "post videos" but that doesn't make a difference because nothing gets changed. I've posted tons of videos since launch but nothing except a little in the form score but it was not enough. I'm just so tired of having to score a goal or 2 (or more) assists just to get a good form score, as a defenseman. but that's not the worst part. I'm more sick and tired of my AI teammates not doing what their supposed to do and I get gigged on it. if my teammates, like the other team does by the way, would get in front of the puck carrier or check or poke check, I might be able to play my position. we were on a penalty kill and I went to the side boards to try and get the puck but my center just had to stay in his "position" and left a man wide open in front of my goalie and of course they scored. at first I thought he was going to cover him but he stopped and went back. who in their right mind will leave a guy wide open dead center in front of your goalie, no one. just frustrated.
I don't really like the options that you're describing either, but I believe that it's the way it handles the players position which is what they are doing when you're no longer controlling a that player after switching to a different player. However, if I'm incorrect please do not hesitate to post the proper explanation.
I don't switch, I play BaP only so I'm only in control of one player, me. they MUST change that the form score goes by the position you are playing. yes forwards should have to score goals and assists but even a two way defenseman should not have to get a 70 in offense and only a 55 or 60 in defense in the coaches score. the whole form score is based on weather you score points which is wrong. that means if you have to score EVERY GAME then 9 out of 10 times you will win the game. I say this because I scored a goal and got a B+ in overall coaches score and STILL only got a 88 in form score for that game. they never even scored a goal while I was on the ice. I got that because it was a tough game and had a hard time getting hits but had a 88% in defense. I should not have any higher that a 60 in offense as a defenseman. also if I don't score a point in a game, I still should get no less than a 95 for the game because if they do NOT score while I'm on the ice and we play most of the time in the offensive zone while I'm on the ice then I did my job. but no matter what position you play, you SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO GET 65 TO 65% IN FORM SCORE. I'm on the top pairing and have to maintain a 75 form score. that means I have to get a form score of at least 75 EVERY GAME to hold to 75 chapter score. so say I have a bad game and don't score a point but still have high coaches score, the form score for that game will only be probably around 60 or so. yes you could have a really great game to make that up but if you play your position you will not because it also goes back to the fact that they amp up the other team, especially the goalie. I played a game on ROOKIE and out of 3 six min periods we only scored 4 goals and I didn't score at all and we had around 40 shots? that a load of crap. I'm not the greatest player but come on. I was still green in all aspects of the coaches score but I was getting hit a lot and had a lot of shots blocked, and that goes to say I wish MY teammates would get in front of the shooter and block shots. I am literally the only one to block shots. the AI MAY block one in 3 games. they usually just skate away and let them shoot. I posted in another thread a video and someone asked me what my sliders were because my team had over 40 shots for the game. now I play 6 min periods so yep that's a lot but out of that 40 or so shots I only had about 5-8. the rest was my teammates.
But even as a forward you can’t be expected to score multiple points EVERY game. Irl, even the most elite players get held scoreless sometimes. But as long as they’re generating chances, no one ( the coach) freaks out. And what about grinding type forwards and guys who specialize in defensive play?
you can't "switch" to another player in Be A Pro. you only control your player the entire game and that's why I said the AI teammates don't do what their supposed to do. I'd love to 'play' my position but it's impossible to do so because to get a good form score every game (so you can stay in the NHL), you have to score points. so to score points you have to, in essence, become a forward, which would leave your main position open. then if you do play in your position but go to help, your AI teammates won't cover for you and the other team usually scores. then if you push to get a goal (because of form score) and the other team breaks out. my own teammates usually (90% of the time) skates backwards and then skates out of the way leaving the shooter to shoot on the goalie. no stick check, no stick lift, and definitely no body check. I hope that clarifies what I meant
