The NHL 17 sliders

[csamuelsvt]

DJ I'm pretty certain by now you know the questions we will be asking with regards to the sliders, since they're typically the same questions we ask every year. The difference is, EA has a lot of us excited that the values are from 0-100

-Does the penalty slider work? If maxed out at 100 will there be penalties everywhere?
-Puck Control. Does this work? Can we create a sloppy game where the puck isn't stuck to players like glue
-Can any slider help create player differentiation?
-Will any slider help with the neutral zone?
-Pass control/Retention. Will the sliders actually work with preventing the CPU from making tic tac toe passes all over the ice. If at 0, the CPU should not be able to make 1 pass

Just a few examples that I know many people who like answers to. Thanks!

Thanks a lot Neo, you're the man! If you could also give the full sim default values, that would make my day!

Small question, since you only gave one value for every slider, I suppose this means that human and cpu values are the same, am I right?

Skating Impact under puck control. So if this is adjusted, the puck would come off the users stick when trying to skate around like a jag? Hmm.

Can't wait to see 20 minute sliders!

I love playing full 20 minute periods on True Broadcast so I sincerely hope that 20 minute period sliders will finally reflect a somewhat authentic NHL game.

Thanks for sharing, Neo.
