Need Help with Sliders

[ParisB]

Can you guys do me a favor and check a setting?

Go to the options screen and select "reset defaults", then select custom and tell me what you see for game style (far right column).

For me, if I select Hardcore and save settings, when I go back it's back to Simulation.

Obviously this sets the default settings, and once i go into the sliders options and change them it shows custom....but I find it interesting that when I go back in the reset defaults, it shows Simulation.

I wonder if that has anything to do with lack of penalties. Maybe the people that are seeing penalties it saves the hardcore setting......

Just ignore the bickering blowhards as we all play differently like Mac said as most of us just wanna make the game even better but try and play exactly like I do and classic view or a similar view too is even important and remember I play Hybrid controls and thats what my sliders are tested on so good Luck Cujo and if anything is lacking for you I can probably adjust it .

PS : Hi Mac I gotta disagree about the nobody is gutting the game off default sliders comment as only a few clicks like what most are doing on Shooting accuracy and other shooting sliders to 1 or 0 greatly effecting the programmed gameplay as default on shooting sliders is 3 and cpu offensive attack IMO . I mean jeez most sliders are on a 6 click scale and 2 clicks is a third of the depth scale you kinda know what I mean ? and some sliders have more impact then others .

alrighty. heres what Im doing to test. in be a GM. playing the game till a minute left in the third then backing out, adjusting sliders and play again. im doing this to lessen different variables obviously. same team same lineups should get a truer sense of whats happening. 10 minute periods.

game 1 altitos sliders I outshot the cpu 39-17 and time on attack I had over double but I lost 4-1 every goal was either a turnover that went slot one timer or not a turnover but slot one timer ai teammates are terrible.

game 2 I raised cpu shot accuracy to 6 and puck control to 6. had pretty even shots and time of attack but I got killed 7-2

so game 3 I raised user goalie reaction to 6 and screen effect to 0. even game but lost 4-1. almost all cpu goals so far have been one timers in slot.

so game 4 I left everything ive done so far but raised both cpu and user aggression to 6. even game but lost 4-2 good news is they only had 1 one timer slot goal. the user aggression seemed to help intercept and clear the front of the net somewhat. I wasnt crazy about the cpu aggression at 6 however they were all over the place causing me to skate around them quite easy.

im gonna start game 5 now with user aggression at 6 and cpu at 3 and see what happens. Obviously once I feel like im getting close im gonna do a few more games with the same settings to make sure. ill post my findings.

interesting side note. I have had a decent amount of penalties but the game I did with aggression of both at 6 I didnt have a single penalty.

The amazing thing is you can click a slider or two and enjoy a whole new way to play .
Keep the impressions coming great to read !

good googly moogly my next game was a bit of a train wreck. 8 power plays for me 7 for the cpu. I won 4-1 however with one of those an empty netter. hard to tell much from that game. im going to play another with the same settings.

last game for the night went real well. lost 4-3 shots were 33-33 time on attack 6:16 cpu 7:51 me. I think im close. gonna test some more tomorrow.

Looks like you are starting to move in the right direction, we'll see how a larger game sample pans out.

Hey guys, I have a question about the slider ''Puck Control'' under General Settings in sliders,

I'm abit confused as in should I set this slider close to 0 or close to max if I want to see the puck get loose and not being glued to players stick etc?

Hope you guys can answer it here, don't really wanna make a whole new thread for just that, thanks
