BAP: Slider explanations please

I feel your pain, but there could be more than one reason why you are getting scored on a lot. 

Look at your General settings and focus on Fatigue effect. I have the CPU fatigue set at 97/100.. This way the players get tired. Next is recovery,. I have the CPU recovery set at 5/100. If you have it set any higher than 10/100 then the first line is going to be out there for more than 30 min.. 7/100 is a decent balance, but if you go lower say at less than 7, then you get 4th liners involved and they wont score as much. BTW.. I have mine up higher.. 67/100.. as a goalie it really does not matter. 

Next is Shooting. Note the power of both shot power and slap shot power. I have mine set about 4 clicks apart. So my shot power is 40 and my slap shot power is 44. And Ill keep accuracy proportionate so 42 for shot and 38 for slap shot. The trade off here is that they wont score on me at will. I get a lot of shot off the posts and my team will sometimes miss the net from center ice, but its okay. 

Goalies: okay.. here is where I have done adjustments and still doing it. CPU save reaction time is 39/100 while mine is at 97/100. They still light me up even with 97/100 so I dont feel guilty one bit having up that high. I have 39 for CPU because my shot power is set at 40. With that setting the CPU goalie will have about a .900 save %. If its an elite goalie, then they will have a .945 save %.. so its a nice balance. It will expose the back up, but the elite goalie will do just fine. If you are scoring too much, raise this slider until happy. If you are not scoring enough and an elite goalie is constantly at .980.. then lower it by 1 and see how that works. 

AI.. everything is at 000 except CPU and BAP strategy.. mine is currently set at 4/6 for both teams. If you have it at 0, then the coach will not make adjustments so if you are losing by 2 in the 3rd, no adjustments will be made so the offense wont attack. Just play their basic, vanilla offense. If you have it set to 6, then it will constantly adjust but so will the other team. Here is where you’ll maximize the adjustments for the coaches. But I dont know if it only affects the offense or if it affects the Defense also. 

User Strategy I’m guessing is for the Human Player individuals coaching strategy.. BUT… when I adjust this I get scored on really easy and the offense starts performing more one timers, more spin o Rama and they get creative. Of course, it could be the placebo effect as well. So what I’m saying could be BS or have merit. Try it out and let me know what happens. 

But try those settings and only adjust ONE setting at a time. If you move one setting it will effect other settings as well. So just move one at a time and play a game. See how it woks out.
