    That's an interesting take, care to elaborate?

      I write code but I don't code games so it could very well just be how I interpret the design of the game, just to caveat that up front, but to me it feels like the game, like pretty much any sports game that allows you to pick the length of periods/quarters/halves, is scaled from a point of reference and for this series, it feels like in thirds, just across the board. I don't think this is necessarily news, but it's also hard to put a finger on the exact "tells" since it's just how the game tends to play. To me at least it feels like how the CPU plays a game with 7 minute periods is distinct from the way it plays an 8 minute period and far more distinct than between 6 and 7 or 8 and 9. I have a hard time putting my finger down on the specifics since it kind of is the whole thing, but if you play a franchise season with 7 minute periods and one with 8 minute periods, it becomes obvious pretty quickly. This affects everything from how much urgency it perceives to the amount of risks it is willing to take to everything else that's based on the clock. Sorry that it's not something more specific but there's a pretty noticeable difference that just is kind of a bigger thing than just one or two things, it feels a bit like a different game mode.

        I'll try my next game today on 8 minute periods just to see if I notice a difference.

            I've been trying to get the game to play like I had it last year at 10 minutes but I couldn't get close. Went to 8 and I swear it was like everything just fell into place 😀. Probably placebo but I almost gave up and now am pretty satisfied on how it's playing.

              I played 1 game on 1/6 speed, 8 minutes, Superstar, 15 hitting power and it was fantastic, Blues (me) beat Vancouver, 3-1.

              Shot totals were a tad high but the game play was excellent. I'm still working on penalties and getting the shot totals down a bit, but I need more games and testing.

                I'm close to getting it to play how I want and I'd love to get going on my season but I'm going to have to wait until the first patch. I'm worried they will make some adjustments that are good and bad that will affect things in a way I'll have to adjust to again. Hopefully hitting will be greatly adjusted. I like a lot of it, especially how cross checking is actually called and looks legit sometimes. I don't like how some of the hits seem to go the wrong way and look extremely unnatural as far as momentum and don't remember that being the case last year. For me speed at 2 is working pretty well. 0-1 just feels like being stuck in mud. It's been tough to get the shot totals right as the AI seems to be more aggressive with taking shots as opposed to last year. I generally like to play 10 minutes but I'm happy enough at 8. I also use player lock, alternating positions every game except for goalie.

                  I think with 8 minutes, 1/6 speed setting isn't going to get me the shot totals I want, so I either will have to mess with the skating speed sliders, go back to 7 minutes or I think I'll try 0/6 speed in my next game just to see what it feels like.

                    0/6 speed setting/7 minutes/10 hitting power - seems pretty good to me

                    I've never played on 0 game speed before this year.

                    Now if I could get penalties to a proper place (globally), I'd be all set.

                      I'm back into my mindset after seeing all these adjustments with speed that every time we load the game, even when making sure our settings/sliders are loaded correctly, that the game just plays different. It's so noticeable online and offline. So frustrating!

                        Weird that you say this at this time Fiddy, cause I was gonna start a thread asking if BERZERK had made it’s way in 24 also ?

                        I mean it’s been in the game over the last 10 years, I couldn’t imagine 24 being left out 🙄 I’ve been able to tame the beast pretty well in 23, but I know he’s never far somewhere in there ready to pounce !

                              I hope they fix the bug where you have to go into your settings every game and have it load the correct settings.

                              Now I'm back to 1/6 speed and 6 minute periods.

                                Welp, I don’t know which patch did this but under “gameplay version” my options are either “latest” or a literal blank. Example: https://imgur.com/V9ghJzW

                                Not sure if this is a prevalent bug or not, but on my PS5 this is what it looks like on every gameplay slider screen now. Blank doesn’t mean that there’s no gameplay version, it just.. doesn’t tell you what it is. And it plays differently from “latest”. Wonder if anyone else have this bug or is it time for me to put in a new SSD and do a full reinstall and hope for the best, because this in addition to the whole “not saving all my settings” problem, makes it feel like I’m flying blind. Either way, this is annoying, to say the least.
