Re: game slider question

Okay, been doing some more testing and been very frustrated, but I think I’m zeroing in on some things..

1. the CPU and BAP strategy adjustment sliders are awareness sliders that would probably affect the offense. The higher the number the more aggressive the offense seems to be. 

2. the User strategy adjustment is essentially an AI adjustment. I think it affects the IQ of the computer players on your team and your opponents team. Example. If I have it on setting 6/6 in 6 games, the other team scored against me in the first 2 shots. Set to 3/6 they scored on my the first 5 shots in 6 games. And on 0/6 they shoot pretty much towards the center of the net. I am going to guess that it makes each player smarter with shot selection and how to attack the net regardless position. If you were on Offense or Defense, It makes them seem like HOF. But it doesn’t effect Human Goalie IQ. They remain the same regardless of position. 

3. Still working on the AI learning. I just have it at 0 for now and averaging .888 save % which sucks. 

A side note: with the CPU strategy set at higher numbers, you will see more shots on goal against your team. At 3/6 you will average about 1 shot for every real minute you play. So if you are playing 5min periods, then expect about 15 shots. 8 min periods will have an average of about 24 shots per game. At 1/6 in a 5 min period Ill be lucky to see 11 shots per game and at a setting of 1/6 at 8min periods you’ll be lucky to see an average of 15 shots a game. So that’s where I came to the conclusion that its really an aggression slider. 

Just remember to notice the difference with Quality of shots vs Quantify of shots. Quality vs Quantity of goals. If you like your AI settings but want more shots, then increase the Game speed slider. No need to adjust anything else. If you adjust one slider, it will affect many sliders in other areas. If you start messing around with passing and hitting, then you will affect goal scoring and shooting. So only adjust ONE slider at a time and play at least 3 games against the same team to get a feel for what the slider actually does. 

Hope this helps.
