I don't know. I don't really think so. In fact, I'm not sure why I have it near 85. I'm probably going to leave it around 75-77.
Also, this would have been nice to know.

I think I missed every single hit I tried on the left side :lol
Yes. It keeps your shot accuracy up for shots off of a deke.

Well, there's one mystery solved.
Not really, it was that low when I was scoring. lol
Ok, then I guess you just suck at this game. :lol
Yup, which is why I get frustrated when I blow at faceoffs, since that's really the only thing outside of hitting that I'm good at. :lol
I'm like the Cole from the 09-10 season (16 points in 40 games) if he played center.
Time for us to set up an AHL club for you to get sent down to.
Isn't hitting more based on stats rather than skill? It's pretty easy to hold down right joystick and have the game guide the guy into people lol. The need to get rid of the lock-on hitting. It should be like the hardcore mode they used to have, so much more realistic.
The actual action is more dependent on stats rather then skill, but then you factor in when it's the right time to make a hit or not and it becomes a bit more complicated.
Yeah, I dunno, it's just so inconsistent, I can't count on both hands how many times I've played a game where I've hit some guy and he goes flying into the boards like he should but then a few minutes later I hit him again in almost the exact same manner and it does nothing. Then again nothing in this game is consistent so oh well.

Get rid of all the points you put in those.
It's supposed to make you check harder and intimidate opponents easier but all I've seen it do is make you take more penalties.

here's my critiques of all the builds posted, take it or leave it:
MARV
-You could probably take your STR down a bit. I keep mine at 87-85 and am unhittable when protecting the protect against human players and can crush people at will. I will add some points to AGL and ACC. Big difference at 85 for each.
BLIND
-Take all the points for SSPOW and put in into WRSTACC
-Take all points and boosts from DUR and put them into BAL and AGL
-Try to tweak and get your HANDEYE up a little bit, you have had some success with deflections, you would prob see more tipped goals
WSOX
-do what Marvie says, AGGR is worthless unless you plan on playing like NHL11 Swim and crushing people all game long
-SHOTBLOCK is also useless, it doesnt reall help you block more shots, it makes you get up from blocks faster and once you hit a certain rating somewhere in the 75-80 range it ensures you do the diving shot block everytime rather than the standing block when going out to block slapshots from the point, your points are better served other places
SWIM
-take your passing down to like 90 and add those extra points into PUCKCNTRL.
-I'd think about taking SSPOW down to like 85-90 and adding those points into SLPACC. That 99 doesnt work like it did last year, I have about 80 ACC and I've gotten a good number of slappers to go in clean with 85 power
I might be on tonight after the Flyers finish punishing Country Boy Milly's team.

I tried 85+ for those before and it never seemed to make a difference for me. Maybe now that I have my legend 3 it will though.
Ill try putting more into puck control. As for the slap shot, well the accuracy is pretty expensive at 75, like 60 a piece. And power is really cheap for the tough guy builds so that's why I bumped it up. It's boosted up as well, so really only around 93
Hasn't been mentioned yet but when you've building your player, make sure you're using boosts efficiently. If you're putting a +5 on a stat that only costs 20, and less points in a stat that costs 50, you're throwing points away. Put the +5 on the stat that costs 50, build up the 20 stat by 5, and you'll still have points left over.

I keep my AGL, ACC and SPD all around 85 and 86 and I def move waay more freely, there was a significant difference when I earned enough points to bump them all up past like 82-83
gotcha, that makes sense. Yeah, I'd drop the slap power to like 90 and add those points into puck control, that will help on both ends of the ice

seems like you got a shit load more points in offense than me and we use the same build at Legend 3 with comparable boosts
only thing I'll say is you went crazy with the endurance, I'd drop that down a good bit and drop points into ACC, AGL and BAL unless you just mash speed burst all game long
I keep my END at 81-82 and dont really have problems when I play Center getting tired
I use the build Antti has with a few different tweaks. And yes I mash it all game and never get tired (unless I'm getting checked a lot).
Makes your skill stick more responsive & faster.
Bullshit. With 99 Endurance, you get away with using hustle all the time (=you are faster). You also gain the upper hand at the end of periods when everyone else is more tired than you are.

swim cannon made a cameo appearance in one of the games in OT

Welp, I won't be on Saturday night or Sunday night. Should be tomorrow though.
Love how winnings streaks happen, then teams just shit on you two games in a row even though everyone's playing the same. That last game especially.
Ugh.

Same thing the game after you left. You were on a tear though. Was fun to see.
especially you hitting the net on a breakaway
Up until that last game that is
Great games up until the last two, the one before Marvie left was bullshit, the entire team just kept diving and kneeling down, I hate that shit so much. Otherwise good stuff all around, my mic was dead and I forgot to charge it which is why I wasn't talking much.

HOW'S THAT ATLANTA HOCKEY TEAM TREATING YOU?
At least he doesn't cheer for multiple teams like you.
