Soble's NHL 17 Realism Sliders (6-8 mins/Allstar)

[BostonHitParty]

Tried these out a while ago and loved them and ended up bumping it up to Superstar. If I took the human goalie sliders down a bit would I need to do the same to the CPU goalie sliders as well? I know some games will go crazy if you mess with sliders different ways haha. Just wondering because the game plays awesome I'd just like the cpu to score a little more. In game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final and Pekka has 5 shutouts throughout the playoffs for me.

Welcome back as well haha Edit: Just realized you didn't really change muuch from what my sliders are set to anyways. I have my shot power set to 43 and it feels awesome. I'm trying the puck passing speeds right now (I had my set to 30-60) so five ticks down shouldn't be too bad. Have you tried using my sliders at all?? Not sure if you've changed all the values to what I have them at (I'm basing this on the passing values because those are defaulted)

Yeah,think I missed setting pass speed to your value,I pretty much had my sliders all messed up between all sorts of slider sets.
We kinda have similar ones now,a few tweeks here and there though based on personal preferences
I had shot acc at 50 before,I'm at 46 for both now,on 8 min.
And it usually gets 30-40 shots on goal for both per game,had an average of 40 before,which is to high.
Like I said,personal tweeks due to my style of playing
Also I've lowered puck control to 20/18 (human-CPU ) once I've started the playoffs CPU became unbeatable with anything higher

One thing I'm changing for season two is difficulty level.
I'm on all star,cpu difficulty at 3,and I'm seeing tons of comeback issues from the CPU.
Didn't see that when playing regular season,but once I hit the playoffs,CPU is much tougher,and I've had a few games being 2-4 goals up,and they've come back in a very strange fashion,often the last 5-10 minutes.

So for season two I'm going with superstar and CPU difficulty at 0 or 1 tops.
The CPU difficulty slider/Ai learning has always been a cheat machine

I don't know if it's just me, but the first and third pictures in the OP seem to be broken?

First game done in the finals vs TBA (5-3)
I've bumped up my difficulty to SS,and the game is even better now,I always play on that level on FIFA/PES,and it always plays the fairest
No CPU spells of pure dominance like I had at AS,you know were they won't let go of the puck and end up scoring like crazy.
Had games in the semis we're the CPU came back from being 5-1 down and winning in OT

2nd thing that makes this difficulty great,your own players play well the whole game,no spells were they become crap.
Feels like they play to their abilities at all times.

3rd the game calms down,CPU plays more static defence,covering areas that needs covering,instead of chasing all over the ice.

With these sliders and SS difficulty,it's by far the best hockey game I've played.

How are CPU teammates on D in NHL 17 compared to NHL 16? Nothing would infuriate me in 16 than the slot being continuously left open regardless of what defensive tendencies and plays I set. Does 17 have sliders that affect teammate ability?

Now that NHL 17 is live in the EA Vault, I want to download it and try with the slider sets in this thread, but I'm really hoping teammate abilities and play have been upgraded for this version...

Still kinda all over the place,better than 16 though,and I've learned to play D a bit more carefully,only switching my players when needed,usually play d with one player and let my CPU team mates sort the rest,works ok acctually.

I've found that my team mates and the CPU plays better and more life like on SS difficulty than AS
Nope no sliders for it.
Go ahead and try the game out,I've almost finished my first season and getting tons of fun out of it,tweaking sliders about every 3-5 games if not playing well

Gave these sliders a go on superstar with 8 minute periods. Loved every minute of it! I think I actually got out-hit by the CPU and the faceoffs were incredibly realistic. Only changes I ended up making were bumping the CPU/HUM Aggression up to 30 and increasing the CPU Difficulty Adjustment to 3/6. Just wanted to say great job with these, will definitely continue using them and tinkering with them!
