Hitting Power?

[speels]

So I was playing my BeaGM tonight as the Leafs against the Senators. Anyway, I play the 1st period and we are tied 2-2, but I am being outhit 10-2, which seems wrong because the Leafs have Phaneuf and Komisarek who are great hitters. Because I am still trying to find my game play sliders, I make an adjustment by increasing hitting assistance to max, Human hit power to max, and CPU hit power to 0. I was getting tired of coming into the zone only to get checked from behind and fall down, then lose the puck. Anyway, I am lining up people left and right and when I get to the end of the period the hits are 28-6!!!!! This makes no sense to me so I switch the sliders so CPU is maxed and human is min. Next period I play normal as it was a tie game and I really wanted to beat the Sens. Anyway, end of the game, which I won , the hits are 31-16. They were way better.

I noticed in the 3rd period that I was getting knocked down a lot less from behind. I also noticed that in the 2nd period, I threw a couple checks that I ended up falling down after.

So what I am thinking is that the hitting power sliders somehow ended up being reversed when the game was shipped.

Please don't take my word for it, but please try it with the extremes. Not sure if this matters to anybody, just made me wonder what other sliders may be mixed up.

Which tuner you are using? Latest?

[speels]

Yes, I was using the latest tuner. I am going to try all the other tuners when I get home after work tonight. Like I said, I am just wondering if any other sliders may be swapped.

Use 1.01 !!!!

I'm using tuner 1.01. And I believe I have my hitting power at 3. For me, anything lower than 3 and hits are only as high as 10 per team in a 10 mins per period game. Also, what difficulty are you on? ALL STAR seems to be the "even" playing field, but might be a tad tougher on hitting. On PRO, you shouldn't have many problems.
