Pk line score

How do you get pk points on your line score no one can figure out why it always his down is this a bug.

  • Every now and then you'll get a coach challenge where you persuade him to put you on the PK - you earn like 1,000 points to the PK stat and need to get a perfect PK I believe; It seems to always go back down to lvl 2 after that so maybe that is part of the bug 

  • @TTZ_Dipsy 14 games into the season, averaging about 650 defense points and an A grade on defense and line score continues to drop
  • I'm having the same issue. I've probably played about 1,000 BAP games over the years and pride myself on playing defence, continually getting B- to A defensive grades. Regardless of how I play on defence and the Penalty Kill I almost always lose PK line score.

    I even had one game where I kept the opponents to 0/4 on the their powerplay and I scored a shorthanded (game tying) goal and still lost over 100 points on my PK line score.

    My last game I held the opposition to 0/3 on the PP with 3 hits, 2 block shots, 2 turnovers, 1 takeaways, B defensive and B- teamplay and lost a whopping 350 PK linescore.

    I really enjoy playing on the penaltykill and at this rate I won't be on it that long. It seems like no matter how well I play on the PK and holding the opponent off the scoresheet my PK linescore is a negative after every game.

    I even had one game where I kept the opponents to 0/4 on the their powerplay and I scored a shorthanded (game tying) goal and still lost over 100 points on my PK line score.

    My last game I held the opposition to 0/3 on the PP with 3 hits, 2 block shots, 2 turnovers, 1 takeaways, B defensive and B- teamplay and lost a whopping 350 PK linescore.

    I've searched the internet and others have this same issue with no answer from the community, moderators or developers.

    It happens on Pro also.  It's almost like the values are inverse.  If you do well in the game defensively, you get punished on the PK line score.

  • I've played over 1,000 be a pro games over the past few years.

    ** PK line score is purely based on giveaways and takeaways **

    If you have more takeaways than giveaways you'll get more PK line score. If you give the puck away more, you'll get a minus. If you are already on a PK line you can kill 10 penalties, but if you have more giveaways than takeaways you'll still get a minus on your PK line score.
