CRAZY ARCADEY UNREALISTIC GOAL SCORING SETTINGS

[woofinator]

Ok, so when me and my buddies are drinking and playing video games we usually don't play a lot of NHL, because some games can truthfully be alittle boring. Makes it more realistic during franchise mode, but not here.

Some interesting ways to get more goals that I've discovered/have read in other threads on this forum:

LOW GAME SPEED/ACCELERATION
i've found that at higher game speed/accel levels the goalies just get so fast that it becomes more difficult to score

HIGHER PUCK CONTROL
found from Cycloniac's thread that this slider is reversed...higher it is, more hectic and crazy the puck bounces become

MEDIUM SHOT ACC/SPEED
it seems to me that the higher you crank shot acc/speed, the better the goalies get. so I've found that keeping em at default levels keeps goalies in check. God I hope that NHL 14 has some decent effing sliders

HIGH ATTRIBUTE EFFECT
another interesting thing I learned from Cycloniac's sliders....for whatever reason, goals seem to significantly drop when this slider is at less than 5



I'm undecided about the goalies thus far. I have screen at 4 and reaction at 3 and that seems to be ok...if you put reaction up to 4 the goalies act kind of erratically but down to 2 they just stay back in their net. i'll do some testing on what might lead to more goals

Also for added arcade feel I crank hitting and aggression up all the way haha...you gotta drink if you get yer *** knocked to the ice bitch! needless to say there is a lot of drinking in our version of drinking nhl.

I like a more random feel in a game so I don't have passing stats all the way up, I don't want it to be like basketball where one team doesn't really give it up until there's a shot. I just want it to be CRAZY and have lots of scoring.

allows me to play be a gm : super star : hardcore with cpu difficulty adjustment at: 3

second slider

is more for low pass percentages
human : 40 - 50 | cpu : 50 - 60 varies between 60 - 69 some times
if done right u can also play 20 minutes on game style : current
kinda have to play with it

For me I gave human players 6 in just about everything, while giving AI 0. Only things I didn't do that with were the hitting assistance and power, which are at like 2 or so. Injuries are also at about 4 for both, and I didn't touch attributes. And I used to have game speed all the way up, but it plays too fast. So I slowed it down to 2 or possibly 3.

And this is for a really crazy, bumper cars kind of hockey. When playing the, AI, it's just a scoring fest, which is a nice change of pace for me after using Cycloniac's sliders in BaGM. And it's a lot of fun vs another person as well.

Actually, for arcadey sliders, max game speed and put acceleration at 0.

Then just increase shot accuracy. Leave power at medium.

Goalie reaction speed at 3 or 4.
