Low scoring in dynasty
Topic Started: Apr 28 2018, 12:37 PM (399 Views)

I have started a dynasty with all the recommended settings, AI is set to rebuilt, period length 6 min, penalties 4. With -1 slider setting, difficulty and gameplay are awesome, scoring is just about right (I score 3.42 per game, have 3.2 PP opportunities, shots are a bit too high, around 33).

However, league wide scoring is way too low. Simulated games are typically 3-2, teams average about 18 shots per game. Setting period length to 8 mins doesn't seem to have any effect.

Any ideas how to get realistic stats?

In case anyone is wondering, difficulty, period length and penalty seem to be affecting scoring. One has to experiment. Tweaking AI is not necessary.

At medium, 9 mins still produced low scoring result and abruptly, 10 mins produced 40 shots and teams often scoring 7-8 goals.

At easy and 8-9 mins, scoring is pretty realistic. Of course, settings need to be changed when advancing days then reset when playing out games.

It'd be nice to have separate simulated and actual played game period lengths in the options. :)
