I spread out the points evenly (approx. same XP per attribute)

My RW is 78 and everything is pretty much balanced out as well.

I wonder if that guy realizes that he would've got more from going +8 in WS Power than +5s in accuracy and power ? Would've got him to 83 WS Acc and 84 WS Pow with 10 XP left over. Ditto with Stick Checking and Def. Awareness; a +8 in Stick Checking > +5s in both. His athleticism is just terribly optimized, too.

This is what he could have done (improvements bolded):

Deking - 99 (+5)
Hand-Eye - 99 (+5)
Off. Awareness - 99
Passing - 99
Puck Control - 99 (+5)
SS Accuracy - 60
SS Power - 51
WS Accuracy - 83
WS Power - 84 (+8)


Aggressiveness - 40
Body Checking - 40
Def. Awareness - 90
Discipline - 76
Faceoffs - 60
Fighting - 40
Shot Blocking - 67
Stick Checking - 99 (+8)

Acceleration - 87 (+8)
Agility - 86 (+5)

Balance - 86 (+5)
Durability - 61
Endurance - 85
Speed - 72
Strength - 75 (+5)

Trying a new PWF build, this time evenly distributed per attribute by amount instead of XP:

Deking - 86
Hand-Eye - 86
Off. Awareness - 86
Passing - 82
Puck Control - 86
SS Accuracy - 76
SS Power - 91
WS Accuracy - 71
WS Power - 86

Aggressiveness - 80
Body Checking - 75
Def. Awareness - 65
Discipline - 90
Faceoffs - 79
Fighting - 80
Shot Blocking - 80
Stick Checking - 70

Acceleration - 84
Agility - 84
Balance - 80
Durability - 80
Endurance - 80
Speed - 84
Strength - 89

Overall - 82

C has faceoffs bumped to 99 at the expense of a couple points per attribute while LW has base in faceoffs with a boost in defensive attributes of about +2. RW takes faceoffs on penalties if the C goes in the box and, considering Skead is normally our C and generally takes 2-3 penalties a game, it's good to have something in faceoffs as RW.

Jmac 02-27-2012 11:03 PM

Brilliant programming ...

Try to hit the guy receiving the pass ... instead, my guy one-times it into our net.

Yeah since I'm usually at RW, when skead takes his penalties, I have to come in and take the faceoffs. I'm giving my RW a little more for faceoffs :)

I played about 5 games yesterday. Only managed to win 2 with Nammer and Kang. We played well though. We manage to be more of a puck possession team and cycle until we find an opening.

This game really pisses me off. Last night, Mini kangaroo and I got wasted 11-1 by this 1 human player and goalie. We had our chances but the goalie stoned us. This 1 guy had 4500 points, kept doing the same fuckin curve shot crap that the goalie couldn't stop. This fuckin BS curve shot goal has been there since NHL 09. How the fuck does EA let this crap go untouched? I'm really contemplating not buying this garbage next year. And before anyone on here says play better D. We tried as much as we could but when we were caught up ice, this fucker would come down and do his bs curve shot and score everytime.

i came here just to post this, and you got here before me, so pissed, like wtf, 11-1, their goalie was good, ok, i give them that, but everytime when that mofo has the puck, u know he is going to go down, and cheap shot it in, like nammer and i are like here we go away (as he passes the blue line), there is no way to defend that b****, cuz u cant stick check him, or hit him, he is fast as s***, L3 i am sure..... no wonder he has 4000+ points in 1000 games, but come on EA, how stupidly retarded is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when u know he is going to score 100% way before he shoots it, there is something very wrong with this garbage!!!!!!!

Jmac 03-06-2012 02:36 PM

It's so retarded. My TWF has 99 Def. Awareness and Stick Checking and you cannot poke pucks away from these guys or intercept their passes.

Can't poke check because it won't work and you'll slow down
Can't sweep because you stop altogether
Can't hit because you'll miss, or you'll glance off them, or you'll connect and they'll keep the puck
Can't dive because you'll get a tripping penalty
Can't stick lift because you'll end up in the penalty box with Skead

The only semi-effective tool is pass block which, as I demonstrated in the video above, is still not perfect (that was with 99s in def. awareness and stick checking).

I guess with 2K not even trying anymore, EA has basically just said, "Fuck it."
