Passing accuracy for CPU solved!

[supersonician]

Just wanted to post a quick message regarding the passing accuracy slider on NHL22. It’s not as it seems!

I, like everyone else on operation sports, has assumed the slider represents the accuracy of passing... because well that's what it's called! BUT IT ISNT!

It actually represents the amount attributes and circumstances will influence the likelihood of the pass success rate.

So I can hear you saying 'RIGHT, so what does that mean Ian'

Well it means to get the CPU (and human) to be less accurate we need to INCREASE the slider, not decrease as we've been doing.

So in the new version of my sliders coming tomorrow to our discord group (FMDG) you'll see the CPU /HUM accuracy number higher!!

I’ve done testing today and I’ve got the CPU’s accuracy as low as 65%, so finally we can get our accuracy as the HUM and the CPU aligned!

Enjoy guys and happy times fitting this into your sliders

You maybe on to something,read an article on explanations on sliders.Said the higher the value to more circumstances and attributes effect the pass accuracy success.

Yep it’s mad.

I’ve tested it all weekend now and 100% it works.

I noticed that if you put penalties default or maxed it doesn't make a difference

Hmm… Interesting. I’ll try it later.

What results did you get?

With pass accuracy at CPU/HUM 100/95 It still happens that CPU has 90-95% pass effectiveness.

Allstar level

I noticed that as well.At 0 is still better.

Re: Passing accuracy for CPU solved!

Yep same. Guess it’s not the smoking gun I thought.

I’m still getting 90% on zero as well???

Anyone managed to get it down?

I get 90 if set for 0 or 100 doesn't make a difference.Frustating.Like I've said I think some sliders do f all.I have penalties set on default and 100% and it doesn't make a difference

Re: Passing accuracy for CPU solved!

The CPU is less accurate at 0 but the difference is really minimal, they are still pretty accurate even at 0. The huge difference this year compared to years past is the way the pass % stat is calculated.

It will be counted as a complete pass from the moment the puck hit the player. It can be in its skates, it can be a bobbled pass after hitting the stick, it will still be viewed as a complete pass. Before, a pass had to be received cleanly to be counted as completed. This year, the puck has to miss the player completely to be incomplete.

So, a 90% completion this year would possibly be 75% last year. I personally simply ignore that stat this year, as long as the gameplay on the ice feels good, that's the most important thing.

Yep same here, having lots of fun.

Ah that explains it then. Pretty annoying but I agree with you both, it’s how it plays which is the fun part.

Re: Passing accuracy for CPU solved!

We just have to ignore the pass % stat. As far as I am concerned is if the scoring chances and shots are realistic then the pass completion percentage is what it is. And really doesn’t effect the game.

In my opinion, the CPU is boosted (not ice tilt) this year when playing the hum on BAP or Position Lock. I've been wondering the same thing about pass accuracy and have played games with it at 0 and 100. Both games where 90% + in accuracy for CPU.

However, use the SAME sliders you're using, but watch a CPU v CPU game. It's night and day, plus, the pass accuracy drops to a realistic level. The CPU v CPU game you see should be the same game you play when HUM v CPU.

I played as the Alumni team with Gretzky, Messier, etc vs Arizona. Using position lock as well for D. Arizona (with a 78 goalie rating) was winning 2-1 after the first?? They could poke check with no issue, skate faster, etc. They played like superstars and their pass accuracy was 93.5% after the first period.

Restart and switch the game on CPU v CPU, and AZ gets killed by Gretzky and team. Madden has a switch in the options to level the playing field with ratings. I honestly think that is in this game now.
