I bought the game yesterday and I have some questions:
1) I turned off auto-backskate in the settings but my defensemen still auto-backskate when the opposition is heading into my zone... How do I fix this? Can I fix this? This wasn't a problem in NHL 10.
2) I started a Be-A-GM file with my Leafs, and the CPU is way too difficult. I'm getting massacred in every game. I can barely start an offensive rush. The CPU is trapping like mad every rush and they intercept nearly everything, and I'm only on All-Star mode. Anyone have optimal settings for the three CPU learning options in the settings menu? I believe the three CPU options are CPU learning, CPU adjust, and CPU strategy adjust. I probably have them too high right now. In fact, is there a guide with optimal settings for every single category that results in realistic results (ice time per defenseman, penalties per game, shots per game, etc...)?
And FYI I'm sticking to All-Star because the moment I knock the difficulty back to pro I win a game 5-2 very easily. I have a 1-4 record so far and the one win is on pro mode and the other 4 losses are massacres on all-star mode.
