has something changed?
I'm not sure what is going on, but my guys are playing like pee wee players just learning the game.
On offense I am missing one timers (like swing and miss) almost every time. Passes aren't being completed in front of the net. Positioning by my guys has been trash. And they are getting knocked off the puck like nothing. I get tapped, they lose it. And my own AI skating into me as I'm bringing it past center ice.
On defense if the other team is crossing center ice my guys hug the blue line and just get skated by, my AI just stands around not doing anything (they used to get involved with body checks, poke checks, and stuck lift). People spam A and just skate around my guys all game and there is no hope of knocking it away from them. Easy saves from weak wrist shots go in from everwhere. My goalie used to be good now he is giving up 5 goals on 20 shots almost every game(almost all weak wristers).
My team is really good on paper but have just been playing like idiots.
1st line - MOV Ovi, AS McDavid, MOV Pavelski
2nd - Keith Tkachuk, 99 Datsyuk, and Bure
3rd - Sullivan, MOV Thorton, MOV Tarasenko
4th - Ryan Smyth, Richards, Linden
Defense is MOV Burns, Blake, MOV Josi, Macinnis, Murphy, and Foote
Goalies - AS Holtby and WCOH Joseph
What is working for you guys as far as strategies, I'm will to try anything. This Comp season I'm 5000th, the ones before I was alway around 1500th... the past month has been horrible. Any ideas thrown out are much appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Sounds like u got a five star team. Dumb it down a bit. Make ur backup any low level bronze and that should bring u to 4.5 stars. Watch what happens next also couple of ur D men r very slow, like: Macinnis, Foote also Smyth and Tkachuk.
All star Havlat,Nyquist are animals plus fast.
For now just change ur goalie and c what happens. Shutting off ur console isn't going to help in this situation.
the swings are insane... went from 1200 to 7000 to 4000 in a day...
the trick for me is when I lose I need to stop playing for a bit. I don't play well immediately following a loss
Does anyone with a 5 star team notice any difference?
Yes. Without synergies my team has an average of 96,5 accross all specific stats (not considering FS cause this is a skill which I never need). With my 23 activated synergies the average increases to 98,2. There is of course no difference for those players who already have 98 or 99 ratings on some stats and a lot of players dont need all these boost anymore.
On the other hand, my "slower" players (who have only 92 or 93 on the skating stats) appreciate the +3 boost on speed, agility and acceleration. Same effect of the shooting accuracy with the right synergies.
In additon I have a +4 team boost for aggressiveness (LB) and +3 boost for chechking (WC), which was necessary for almost all my players (have a lot of the fast but less phyiscal players) and with this addition these guys are far more active, aggressive and resistent.
There are many further effects based on several player and team synergies, some of them with more, others with less or no impact on a specific skill.
