I don't know about SP play, but if it is like Venoms it is not. I think venom only changed the overall strats not each line. I don't think anyone has done that yet.

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what SP play is. The original post says that there's a team strategy update. I want to know what that means, especially if it varies between lines.

It's just a default now set for all lines, but specific to each team. You're still able to change it for individual lines though. Essentially all teams are set up this way until you change them yourself, it was just what specific strategies they were playing that got changed.

I wasn't too big on Venom's strats.. to be honest especially teams set to "All Out" That just makes your forwards skate all the way to the other teams blue line and wait for the puck even if the puck is still in the defensive zone.

Hmmm, maybe this is why the game has been playing so differently the last two patches. Almost every game since then the cpu has gone bananas on offense, shooting like crazy in the first period. I'm going to have to adjust the strats or just try out one of the older rosters to see if it plays better. Just seems like the gameplay has taken a turn for the worse during the last two roster updates, imo.

Yeah it may have something to do with it, although the CPU will shoot too much period, even with shot freq at 0 and pass freq almost maxed. Another thing to try is raising cpu one timer freq. Although i'm still trying to get the Dmen to stop pinching so deep. There are still too many breakaways even when your strategy is "stay back"

They shoot from the face-off circles entirely too much. At least in game the strategies hold from the coaching screen before you go into the game.

Venom's changes were only included in the last roster update, not the last two. They are fairly easy to revert if people don't like them though.

I think they are fine,but a poll would be better to see the opinions of players. I like them because they allow for teams to play differently everygame.

Shadow, could you please post what exactly each Attribute means. I would like to create some of the AHL players that are missing, but I'm stumped as to what Influence, Courage, and some other Attributes actually effect or if they even have much importance.
