First off, I'm an offline player at the core, and I've always wanted a game that plays like real Hockey. So beware, if you are a kid that likes easy and arcade type stuff, please stay away, this set is not for you...
The gameplay is loose and fast like real hockey... I've adjusted all the settings equal for both Human and AI. I have played around 20 games with this set and never felt cheated by the AI, not once ! And believe me, that's a first... I've lost games where I had a big smile on my face because the game gave me what I was looking for. Now that's saying something, lol !
Try these out and in my humble opinion, you'll never go back to anything else. We have all our style of play, but this one fits my style and I've literally been on the edge of my seat playing this set...
****NOTE: Manual line changes is a must, cause you know when to make them, when set on Auto, you will be caught with your pants down often...
- The puck is loose, and puck protection as never been more important.
- Quick decisions is a priority, I've never really use one touch-passing like this before and now it's a must have, lol !
- For me 10 minutes periods is more than enough and you really get in the game...
- Not really looking for super realistic stats, GAMEPLAY is the true priority for me... You may be worried when you look at some of these settings, but trust me if you love real hockey, you'll never go back 😀

RECOMMEND for the BEST Experience
*********************************
1) Download my Roster that was Taylor made to fix the inactive DMEN in NHL22, the Roster's name is (PernellKarl076 Roster) date uploaded 09/30/22
The creator is myself on XBX (P4TRICK 027)
2) Take my slider set as is and try for 5 games… Some values will appear extreme but just trust me 😉
3) Before each game go in strategies and put the cycle/shoot for each defensive pairs at the MAX on the right.
4) Play position LOCK… The best way to play the game IMO, you'll have to make split second decisions and you'll be rewarded.
5) Goes hand in hand with no4, PLAY YOUR POSITION…don't run everywhere on the ice and you will be rewarded and you'll be amazed at how you AI teammates play way better this way 😀
6) NEVER ask for a pass… NEVER…. The AI will pass on plenty of occasions if you are in a good spot, so work your *** off to get there 😆
7) ACTION CAM… Give it a go even if you've never really liked it… IT puts you right there on the ice, not like you are in the sky playing or watching TV…
8) Maybe extreme, but I play with no HUD whatsoever… Not even the player indicator… Sooooo immersive, just remember your players at the said position… When I see YOuTubers playing with a Christmas tree lighting on the ice and deeking fest, I just wanna throw up 🤢 😆
9) Have a blast 😀
