EA_Barry, I am honestly trying not to be disrespectful or anything like that but everything NBLSXSopeX said has already been said in other posts since launch and NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THEM. I know some cannot be done in 26 but some can. I specifically said repeatedly about the issue in the section of Setup, Rosters & Simulation Realism where a Dman (no matter what playstyle he is) should NEVER have to out score a forward. I nearly always play defense as an enforcer and I should not be 2nd in the league with goals. I just looked up and saw that in real life NHL, out of ALL defenseman the highest number of goals scored was only 26 for the 25-26 year. I should not have 25 goals mid way into the season (which I do). I will admit that I HATE losing but will take a loss if MY PLAYER DOES WELL AND GETS A GOOD COACHES SCORE AND FORM SCORE but that is 9 our of 10 times not the case. also I have repeatedly mentioned in other posts his Learning the Game & Coaching Feedback, specifically the coaches feedback when it comes getting gigged on things I should not be gigged on (as I just mentioned above). I don't know if you understand how frustrating it is to do EVERYTHING right and get a -7 in defense when your covering YOUR man but your stupid AI teammate gets burned and you try to "help out" but they score. and yes, that is just 'BAD LINE DEFENSE' AND it was the ONLY goal scored while your player is on the ice. that does not include a 'missed assignment' and/or 'not guarding the net' which you WILL lose more. guess the coach doesn't take into consideration you blocked 4 (or more) shots, poked checked several times (but miss more because that still needs addressed, even when you have the stick em up X-factor AND 90+ in stick checking AND you put your poke check accuracy slider to 100 but still miss more than you connect). but like I'm saying, I, and others, have posted everything he has said above but nothing has changed. I will add that when it comes to energy, it should either be you spend only 1 point to increase health or you get more energy points. during a single week, I spend 8-10 points out of the 12 for energy (and that is with 6 minute periods to) so I can't use anything that entire season on X-factor, trait points, or to boost my likability in the 3 areas. I will also add that if I make a player and say I am ONLY left defense, then PUT ME ON LEFT DEFENSE. every team I get drafted on puts me on right D for most of the preseason and some in the regular season. so if I have a draft stock of say 3 and a team for that round does not need a left D man, then they skip me and I get drafted by a team WHO ACTUALLY NEEDS A LEFT D MAN AND who they want to build the defense (or offense) around for years to come, even if it's a team lower in the order. rather play my position. but again, everything has already been said in other posts but nothing has been done. I didn't even mention the horrible form score (but that may change if you go by the position and NOT scoring). I played a game where I had all percentages well above the target (at least 20% more) but did not score a point and I lost OVER 10 form score for that game, AND THEY DID NOT EVEN SCORE A GOAL WHEN I WAS ON THE ICE!?!?!? that is just ridiculously outrageous. I should have gotten a 100 even with the loss but at the very lease a 90, not an 80 something. to be honest, I will not buy the next game till I see everything (or most of the things) that is mentioned in ALL the posts on this forum changed. I will not waist $60+ on a game that gets me so mad, I start throwing things.
