TNK NHL18 All-Star Sliders

[Lordofthething]

Where art thou TNK? You're not posting game results so I'm thinking you're not too involved in NHL just yet. You still using the sept 21 sliders?

[TNKNGM]

Hey guys.....will be posting updated sliders in the next couple days, been busy

[mattg123]

I have mixed yours with couple others and think I found the perfect match. I like your settings for passing, puck control, agility.

This year I have played a lot and trying to find best slider set for challenging but fun. It’s been challenging for the most part but I’m getting closer. Now having more fun and realistic and matches are so close and fun. I will share my results

[TNKNGM]

Alright guys.....updated v1.0 sliders are in the 1st post of the thread

Give them a shot and let me know what you think

[TNKNGM]

Would like people to focus on the following areas and give feedback about what feels right or wrong

SKATING WITH THE PUCK
SKATING WITHOUT THE PUCK (turns, momentum, cuts, etc)
PASSING
FLOW OF THE PLAY

Lets get these things sorted out first and get the game "feeling" the way you like it......less worried about stats at this point as I am about the feel and flow of play

TNK - TEST GAME

Boston (Me) @ Minnesota (CPU)

The Bruins opened the scoring late in the 1st period when Frank Vatrano sniped top corner on the rush to give Boston a 1-0 lead. Boston went on the PP a minute or so later and David Krejci would put home a rebound with 0:04 left in the period to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead heading into the locker room.

The Wild controlled the play in the 2nd period and had some extended powerplay time but could not cash in as Tuukka Rask was sharp in the Bruins net and the score remained 2-0 after two periods with Boston out-shooting Minnesota 23-18 after 40 minutes of play.

Minnesota came out with good pressure to begin the 3rd period but the Bruins were able to maintain their 2-0 lead until Ryan Suter scored through a screen with 3:57 remaining to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Wild would get Dubnyk to the bench for the extra attacker in the final minute and had a couple chances but Rask came up with some key saves and time would run out as the Bruins hang on for a 2-1 victory

* Shots were 31-30 in favor of Boston

* Game felt pretty good....need to play more games and get a variety of results to see how the sliders hold up over a stretch of 5 to 10 games

* Need people to test and provide feedback so we can fine tune these and hopefully have them ready for franchise play in a week or so when the roster update comes out

UPDATE to the sliders in post #1 of the thread

Made some tweaks and like what I am seeing/feeling so far

Playing a game Boston @ Colorado and will post a boxscore/recap when finished

TNK - TEST GAME

Boston (Me) @ Colorado(CPU)

Colorado opened the scoring midway through 1st period when JT Compher redirected a puck past Rask and the Avalanche had a 1-0 lead at the end of the 1st period with the shots even at 9-9.

The Bruins were struggling to generate quality chances early but started to carry the play in the 2nd period. The score remained 1-0 until Noel Acciari crashed the net and slammed home a rebound after Varlamov denied Riley Nash as Acciari tied the score at 1-1 with the goal for Boston with 7:02 remaining in the 2nd period

The game would go to the 3rd period tied 1-1 and both teams had some opportunities in the early stages of the 3rd period but Varlamov and Rask were sharp in their nets. The score remained tied until Boston went on the powerplay with less than 10 minutes to play and the Bruins would capitalize on the man advantage as David Backes found Krejci in the high slot and he fired a wrist shot past Varlamov to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead with 6:30 remaining. The Bruins struck again just over a minute later as Frank Vatrano finished off a nice pass from Spooner on the rush for a goal to make it 3-1. The Bruins would close it out and come away with a 3-1 victory

* Game was played with the latest adjustments in post #1 of the thread

* Made some adjustments to the sliders and the skating is feeling better

* Shots were 39-29, so nothing crazy there

* 8 powerplays in the game, so nothing crazy there

* Need some people to test along with me and provide feedback and boxscores

* You can generate boxscores here:
