PLAY STYLE OPTIONS
Play Style
If set to auto, the CPU will automatically select the best values for your team or if switched to Manual you will have full control of the settings.
Roughness
Determines how aggressively your players play. Set it high, and players will check more on defense, and crash the net more on offense. However, they may incur more penalties or over-commit and get burned on defense. Set it low, and players will play more conservatively.
Attack Style
This sets the basic attitude the AI will have when playing offense. Balanced will focus on both offense and defense equally, Conservative will protect your own zone first but sacrifice some scoring chances, and Attack will focus on offense but leave your own zone vulnerable.
Dump/Chase
Determines whether or not the AI will "dump" the puck (hit it towards the opponent's goal and recover it) or skate and pass the puck down the ice.
OFFENSE: OFFENSE IN THE OFFENSIVE ZONE
•
Triangular: This intermediate system concentrates on maintaining possession of the puck. The Forwards form a triangular formation and cycle the puck between them. The objective is to create a 3-on-2 or 2-on-1 situation.
•
Positional: This basic, conservative system has two Forwards attack the net while one Forward and the Defensemen think defensively in case the puck changes possession.
•
Overload Slot: This basic system has the Forwards crowd the area of the net. The Defensemen shoot the puck
