AlTito, thanks for posting your NHL 20 Sliders!
I am always playing on your set of sliders and they are always from my point of view, the closest to realistic play on the boards and slopiness.

I have yesterday adjusted NHL 20 first with your exact set of NHL 19 Sliders, after playing standard FullSim of the out of the box settings by EA.

The gameplay has felt much better with your NHL 19 slider settings, only puck pickups felt a bit "edgy".

Now I played 2 games with my New York Islanders with your NHL 20 sliders adjusted and the edginess is gone. As far as I have seen you have changed Skating Impact - CPU/HUM from 20* to 40* and skating and puck pickups are smooth and also penalties look to be spot on for the first tests.
SoG and other stats looked realistic!
You do a great job! Thanks for sharing with us every year!
I will test further on and give you feedback.
Cheers.

I like NHL 20 so far, gameplay is similar, but also with some differences:

Puck control is higher, so I had to increase Skating Impact like Rangi said in the post above.

Skating is different, good so far, but still testing it.

I love new goalies animations when they freeze the puck, it's so much more realistic, as they can cover it in a lot of new maners now. Rebound control is also better.

One timers are also way better with new animations too. The reaching tip-in one timer close to the net is great.

Puck pickups are better too, will have to continue monitoring it though, because I don't want the puck to be glued magnetically to sticks either.

I'm really testing checking, bumps and collisions right now, because it was toned down compared to last year. Poke checks are another concern for me.

So far so good, I will continue to test it today with a few friends coming home to play the game.

Yes, I like NHL 20 so far, too.
The gameplay is similar like you said. I currently play also on AllStar and the hitting stats are much in favor of the AI, almost always outhit 21 - 4.

Puck Control and skating feel fine so far, we sure can still approve on.

My 10h trial is almost up with EA Access but I will continue to test, on what sliders you focus with hitting, AlTito? I may help find adjustments for our both liking.

Amazing sliders as always, Al. Been using your sliders for a couple years now and they've always made the game so much more enjoyable.

[Al_Tito13]

I added a few new updates to the sliders coming from today's testing.

Really appreciate the effort you guys make with the sliders.

What would you suggest sliderwise to make the game play a bit more like an 80's NHL game? Thinking about making my own 80's inspired rosters for the alumni teams.

Probably something like lower game speed, slower shots, worsen goalies, grittier play, reintroduction of the red line for 2 lines passes, no more hooking penalites and of course, more fights lol! Maybe not everything in this list is possible to get only by changing sliders, but some of them sure are.
