I've been using your sliders for years with the odd tweaks...one issue I'm having is lack of CPU penalties for the opposition...I bumped it to 100 but haven't seen much improvement, albeit in a small sample size. I think I may have to bump some of the specific penalties for the cpu up a bit. I'm surprised you never have this issue, maybe it's play style.

For some reason I get more penalties on default than when I have it maxed out.

No i think you misunderstood me. I still play positional hockey, dump and chase with my 4th line and all that. I just want the CPU to take more shots. They rarely cycle the puck, only play very straight. I use my pokecheck when I get near the puck carrier and in that way it's easy to take the puck away from the CPU.

However, if you don't want to take the time to try and mess with sliders until you find your happy place, then yes, default sliders or online play are maybe a bit more what you should be looking for.

Yeah I know. I just want more realistic stats without me changing the way i play, that means more passive. Online play doesn't have GM Connected and I want to play Franchise Mode because i don't like HUT. Only online mode I play is EASHL.

I always outshoot the AI, I have much more time in offensive zone than the AI. I really would like to play Franchise Mode but it feels like there is not enough challenge for me. I play on Superstar and I have also tried to increase AI Difficulty to max and while I win some and lose some, I still outshoot the AI badly. Any suggestions on how what I can do to give me more of a challenge but also give the AI more shots on goal?

Go to team strategies and maximize cpu shot tendency to make them shoot more. Or max it the other wau so that they cycle more.

Have you tried other slider sets? I mean I have all those things with mine. Or maybe find a base you like and tweak to your liking.

With NHL 22, no. In NHL 21 I tried Altito, Cyclonic, Supergoalies and one more that i forgot the name of. Cyclonic maybe gave me more challenge but I like more of a sloppy, loose pucks style that Altito has. I really think the sliders that he has is great I just want the AI to be better offensively.

The sliders are ready for the official game release today. The only thing I'm still really messing around with is passing. Other than that, I like the pace, I get penalties from the CPU and I love the balance I was able to get for the hitting and checking part of the game. Hits aren't over the top and small bumps now have an effect, without it being too much either.

Have fun with the game guys!

I found that with pass accuracy at 0, the CPU offense is just not very good. I know pass percentages are a little high but I’ll take that trade off in order to get a better CPU offense.
