Re: Attribute effect

Well this would have been a good game, but once again way too many penalties. I have my penalty slider at 2, and have lowered a bunch of the penalty sliders and still so many 5-3's. Not sure what else to do. I only 2 of the penalties, the rest were taken by my team mates, i was Buffalo.

Not sure what you have your aggression slider set to, but I know if the CPU is overly aggressive (to include your CPU teammates that you’re not controlling) there’s a tendency to have a few too many penalties called. Maybe adjust your penalty slider to 1 and see what happens. Or this was just a once a game in every 10 games scenario. How many games have you played where you’ve had this many penalties?

Re: Attribute effect

Actually the last few have been pretty bad, i might drop the penalty slider to 1 to see if that fixes it. I noticed on some peoples sliders they have CPU aggression slider as low as 10, i might have to try that.

It’s worth a shot I suppose. As with any EA title, we’re unsure as to what every slider actually does. I have always been a believer that the definitions that are provided are vague. We can always take our best guess and test differences for hours on end, but I don’t think we’ll ever have the realism that we’re looking for unfortunately. Thanks for all of the hard work you’ve been doing with your testing though. The results are very interesting.

Re: Attribute effect

i agree, i can't test too much more. I am actually really happy with the game play i have, if I can fix the amount of penalties then great, but if i can't then i'll just live with it. I want to start my season this Friday.

Re: Attribute effect

I have found that if you put your attribute effect 8 or higher it is best you leave all shooting accuracy at 50, player miss way to many open nets otherwise. Originally i was going with AE of 8 and had my accuaracy down to 44, but i put it back up to 50 and seeing better results.

Bummer. Feels like NHL fails to properly simulate the disparity between one and done CHL bros and AHL/fringe NHL talent. I usually like having it max or near max to properly do so. Seems like the game doesn't want to have a genuine gap between 50s-60s vs 60s-70s players because of EASHL/Online play modes the past few years instead of a true sim.
