I figured i would share what I'm playing with since being able to settle on a few things. Getting some solid games. These are not the end all be all as I have stated in the past with my sliders, but here you go.

Fiddy14's NHL 14 Sliders
these are not the end all be all sliders. i used Cycloniac's as a base and made a few adjustments. i play with speed/acc on default 3, bc i go back and forth a lot from online to offline and i hate there being a difference. so, speed/acc wise, adjust to how you like it. if you slow the game down, maybe bump period length up to 9 minutes.
i went with Casual cpu aid. why? i was messing around on that level and noticed the cpu playing a bit better positionally. they also were going after passes and pucks, where i felt like i didnt have to click on them to actually pick it up, they did it on their own.
fatigue effect, key slider here. as it effects speed, shot acc, etc. well, it effects all player attributes, the lower the effect, the better the guys will play, obviously. i found this key in seeing better type of goals, coupled with auto aim (shot acc 0, slap acc 1) (and even manual shot acc 1, slap acc 1). seeing to many goals? bump this slider up 1 or 2 clicks, you will then find yourself in better defensive battles.
if you are content with the sliders in general, you have tried Pro/All-Star/Superstar and have settled on a level.. yet the game is a bit easy, go bump up cpu difficulty by 1 click until you find your happy medium.
again, these are not the end all be all, but added an element for me to enjoy the game offline like never before over the past 2 or 3 years.
if you make any tweaks, figure out what works best for you, please post what changes you made and why.
if i make any updates, ill let you know with a post below.
thanks guys..

Just updated the sliders above. Nothing ground breaking, just adjusted the pass interceptions to 0, i moved onto superstar, with cpu difficulty at 2 because that's the only way i get competitive games vs cpu. Shots and possession time usually pretty even and seeing multiple power plays per team most games.
