You guys absolutely NAILED how flipping difficult it is!! Even with excellent teams it’s pretty tough. By far the worst part is how hard it is to pass the puck around with a roster filled with guys whose offensive awarenesses are in the 30s and 40s.
I’ve had the most success with the other teams when I start the worst players (typically the worst of the worst at center) and slot in someone who has at least SOME sort of scoring ability and take it up the wing and cut across the goal mouth.
I appreciate you guys trying. Ottawa is the ONLY team that I haven’t accomplished it with yet! San Jose is no cake walk, either. If I remember correctly they have ten defensemen and three goalies - yikes!
I am certain WITHOUT a SHADOW of a DOUBT that you guys are cold-blooded assassins when it comes to scoring with the Roenicks and Yzermans of the game! My forte has been, like I said, racking up points with the scrubs - maybe because I can relate so well to them?! Just like I’m sure I’d be the scrub when we get the chance to play some games head-to-head someday.
Believe it or not, the PGs in 94 are easier when it comes to the goalie challenge in 93. I’ll be happy to figure out a way to record those and post them on the forum for you guys someday! For the goalie challenge, let’s talk some numbers - you have to average a minor penalty about every 20-30 seconds while trying desperately to keep the puck out of your own net, because all those goals against wipe away the penalties that you’re in continual need of to even have the opportunity to score with your goalies... It still isn’t the easiest to score on the CPU with your goalies, especially when you’re always at a 3-on-5 disadvantage.
I was curious to know how you guys fared with Ottawa - makes me feel a little better knowing I can at least have the PGs and the 93 goal challenge to help boost up my self esteem for the time being!
