I tested out #2 with maxed out off and def awareness. Here's my suggestion:
You should make a team with 99 for EVERYTHING. I scored on a breakaway after about 12 seconds and stopped playing. Awareness doesn't really make a big difference, as Philly and Pittsburgh aren't very good teams in other stat areas to begin with. For a good practice rom, the cpu team needs to have 99 for speed, agility, shot, passing, etc. Also, don't forget the goalie!
