So I reset sliders to default tweaked them to where I had them, played a game and BOOM, I had 5 PPs and the CPU had 4PPs. next 2 games 1 PP for me in 2 games and 2 PPs for CPU in each game. So....I did the reset slider thing again and I had penalties called. Seems I need to reset the sliders and tweak them before every game. This does not make a whole lot of sense but so much with this game and its tuners and sliders do not make sense and I have tested this several times and it works. Weird stuff

Can you please confirm if you change settings in the main menu or right after team selection?

Just deleted all my stuff. Couldn't take it anymore. Final straw was when I ripped a slap shot from the blue line. Goalie made a nice save, rebound was free, I stick lifted the defended, my icon lit up as I had the puck, then with no animation, he had the puck, and with 2 men on him, proceeded to sent a backhand pass about 100 miles per hour to his waiting center at the red line that hit his tape beautifully, and mind you, the puck traveled through my defensemen on the way.

So their center gets it, stops, side steps, stops, stops, side steps, avoids a check at center ice by just side stepping me, then reads my controller that I'm now going to poke check him, so he turns, half falls, draws a penalty, but side steps once more and has a lane, yup, through everyone and back on the net.

I don't care he scored, but the back hand 100 foot pass, the side stepping in the neutral zone, the turning to avoid hits, the avoidance of poke checks, then knowing here it comes, yup, doop do doo, and score.

Rant over, but I deleted everything. Played on Pro Default. Won 2-1. Shots were even, pucks were loose, time of possession was even, passing was 66 percent them 61 percent me. Post tuner with passing slider at 0 the AI is never under 80 in my games.

I was actually able to clear pucks without the AI catching ripped slap dumps to get out of the zone on the pk.

Saw deflected shots, shots out of play, I and they could dump the puck and there were board battles for it. Holy hell what a fun game I just played. Too bad I had to delete my season that was 28 games in. Hoping they fix this soon.

One thing, anyone else find that AI is very quick to poke check at the exact time you press up on the shoot stick? Even pre tuner. I have a guy beat, press up, he poke checks me. I try to float one in from a bad angle, the second I press up, they poke check it. Wears me out.

Anyway, FUN game I just played after deleting everying. Very very fun

I used to play on Pro in playoff mode on Last gen to avoid the tilted ice boosts and cheats and it worked great but no penalties on that level for me but this year it seems penalties have more depth at least stick penalties.

On a side note after the 9/28 tuner updates I noticed alot of the traits from past NHL games that I didnt care and like most offliners I tried many different sliders that just didnt meet my needs so I pulled out my old sliders from last gen NHL 13 and 14.
And after a few games Im pretty satisfied as they were designed to keep the game playing honest while lessening boost and non responsiveness as the advantage and hopefully after I tweak the goalies Ill be good to go again .

Raising the Puck control slider to 5 now, has really helped with my enjoymet of this years game. Lots of loose pucks and unpredictable gameplay with that one slider adjustment.

Tennis hockey is still in the game, unfortunately. Absolutely ZERO pressure, and no chippy battles for the puck happening between the blue lines.

Back and forth. Back and forth. North and south. North and south.

Boring.

Guys catching hand-shattering slap shots out of the zone drop me insane.
Yeah, I get that Duncan Keith is tough, and a skilled defenseman...but he just plucked an 80mph slapshot out of the air like he's Mr. Miyagi.
