NHL 26 Franchise mode - playing games feels very frustrating this year
I notice my user's CPU goalie lets in very soft goals while the opponent's CPU goalie plays like Hasek or Brodeur, no matter what he has as an overall rating. All games end like this for me: 36-42 shots and 2-4 goals vs the opponent team's 14 shots and 2-4 goals. I block many many shots in the games I play on Superstar but once the cpu opponent gets a shot away, it either hits the post and bounces on the goalie and in, or they snipe it from the blue line. It's so frustrating to play games when every game goes like this, absolutely tanking my goalies' SV%.
Update: I changed the gameplay version to 1.0 and that changed it back to being better balanced for CPU gameplay. Now it's way better (more fun) even though user cpu goalie still lets in almost everything, but at the same time it's now easier to score myself. Would be great to have a gameplay tuner that stops CPU opponent from shooting overly accurately in every single situation.
