How are you losing games? Are you falling apart in the 3rd? Weak defensively? Giving up too much special teams? etc. Those are key things to know when looking at tactics.

From what I was reading, Aggressiveness has to do with physicality and going for more hits, but I have hits set at -2 because I'm not a good checking team - I was going for a more finesse approach, which makes sense considering the makeup of my team.
I ended up letting the AI set my tactics, since what I did wasn't working. It didn't end up changing much and I'm now at this:
Quote:
Attacking: +1
Aggressiveness: -1
Backchecking: -1
Pressure: -1
Hitting: -2
Tempo: +1
Passing: +1
Shooting: -0

Plus AI changed several Tactical Settings, plus unit settings. (BTW, why does letting the AI pick result in different settings every time? I would have thought I was asking one *person* for their opinion).
Anyway, letting the AI pick worked because I ended up winning the Cup the next season and led the NHL in goals. Was I just underachieving? Maybe, but I saw a noticeable drop in form once I changed things and it got better when I changed it back. Since I don't really know what I'm doing, I assumed it was me.
So I guess my question still stands: if I want to play wide-open hockey with a lot of speedy, skilled, offensively-minded players, what settings do I need to use?
