First of all, switch your strategies to Overload or Crash the Net as Behind the Net seems to be absolute garbage...and do it in the coaches strategies NOT in-game because they won't save.
Second of all, I'd like to thank Flyer for his slider set which I used as a base for my own tweaking...
Here they are...there is a description for why I made some the changes that I did...especially some of the changes to the goaltenders.
I use All-Star at this point, but these should work well on any skill level.
All-Star
11 Minute Periods...just didnt want to go with 12's and 11 works out just as nicely to me.
Penalties - maxed
Penalty scaling - 2 or three clicks from the right!!! Flyer had his set to zero or something...I need some actual time on the PP and the PK so I get realistic results and opportunity on both.
Fighting - 3 clicks
(First number is human slider, second number is CPU)
Basic
Tuner - v1.01 (or whatever most recent version is)
CPU Aid - Hardcore
Game Speed - 2 clicks
Attribute Effects - Maxed
Fatigue Effect - 4/5
On both 6 and 5 I've found that my players tire too quickly whereas on 4, they get tired and I'm still forced to use all four lines. However, tweak to your own desired effect...but I like it this way.
Fatigue Recovery - 2/2
Injury Occurrence - 3/3
Puck Control - 0/0
Player Acceleration - 1/1**
AI
AI Learning -Maxed...does a better job of simulating a real human team opponent on the ice.
CPU Difficulty - 0**--decreases moments of helplessness against CPU cycling.
CPU Faceoff Difficulty -Maxed...I don't know about you guys, but with this set at 3 I win like 75% of the draws.
Fight Difficulty - 4
CPU Penalities - Maxed
CPU Teammate Penalties - maxed
Passing
Pass Assist - 4...still seeing plenty of missed passes on my side. Player attributes REALLY matter when it comes to making passes.
Manual Passing - off
Pass Speed - 2
Saucer Pass Speed - 2
Pass Accuracy - 2/0
Pass Interception - 6/6
Shooting
Shot Accuracy - 3/3
Shot Power - 4/3**
Slap Shot Accuracy - 3/3
Slap Shot Power - 3/3**
One Timer Accuracy - 3/3
Checking
Hit Difficulty - maxed
Aggression - 6/6
Hit Power - 1/1
Stick Lift Efficiency - 3/3
Poke Effectiveness - 6/6
Goalies
Goalie Pasing - 0
Goalie Cover Puck Frequency - maxed
Goalie Screen Effectiveness - 4/4
Goalie Reaction Speed - 5/1**I've been giving up a reasonable amount of goals, plus I was blown out by San Jose 10-2 in one game so...yeah, the CPU scores, but moreso on opportunities where they deserved to score. Not so many softies although they still happen as they SHOULD though.
...There, to me, is a big disparity in on all-star in the reaction level of the HUM goaltender and the CPU goaltender. Many times, the CPU will make a play and my goaltender will be laughably way behind on the reading of the play...as the CPU scores a goal that I would never be able score against it. Frustrating.
