Cycloniac's TrueSim NHL 16 Sliders
 

I'm back at it again.

As usual, these sliders are designed to play as realistically and as smoothly as possible. Tweak if necessary. These work well also for coach mode or CPUvCPU games. For added realism, I suggest implementing the authentic team systems I've updated for this season found here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...amsystems.html

Nice. We used a lot of the same sliders as yours in '15 so going to see what the diff are between ours. We liked attributes at 6 that yr.

We tried pass acc and interceptions at 4 as well and got mixed results. What about magnetic puck with inceptions at 4.


Do you get a good mix of scores with those shot acc and goalie reaction. We have been not been getting a good mix, so we will give those a sample.

Re: Cycloniac's TrueSim NHL 16 Sliders
 

For the passing, I like the balance of having both interceptions and accuracy at 4. One thing I notice is less of those ridiculous passes through multiple defenders into the slot for one-timers. I see pass percentages between 70 and about 80 percent.

As far as scores, I see good variety, depending on team. I've seen 1-0 games, as well as 6-2 games. I've seen the occasional OT and shootout decided game also.

It didn't take long to like these. These are the happy medium between Northmans and mine. You do make good stuff.

We have slap shot at 4 and hit power at 0. We tried attributes at 6, goalie reac at 4 and pass acc/inter at 4 each before but on patch 1.04 that didn't get god results. On patch 1.05 they do.

Going to use these with a few adjustments and keep my sliders same.

These are a wicked base set for sliders.

Re: Cycloniac's TrueSim NHL 16 Sliders
 

We found/noticed similar results in gameplay.
hardcore/authentic
simulation/relaxed
arcade/anything goes
Its a way to have a combination to finetune game play they way you like.

Solid set per usual Cycloniac. I played two games, had a 2-1 and 6-3. Good stuff.

I just cant play on 7 minutes and with the speed below anything than default for some reason this year.

I made the speed/acceleration changes and kept everything else how you had it and played a good one as well. Pens 3 Rangers 2 Final. Dominated most the game, but the Rags took over in the last 10 minutes, scored twice and had me scrambling in my zone with their goalie pulled.

All games were quick play games.

I really feel like after playing the Pens schedule up until today, that in BEAGM, sliders are almost worthless. If you don't go into the slider settings from the pause menu, seems like they dont work, and even after that, something just feels off for me.
