SportsFan28 - NHL 21 Superstar Sliders -
Hey guys. This is my first attempt doing a slider set on OS. I’ve been playing NHL games since on Sega Genesis haven’t missed a game in the series. We know how little EA has made gameplay changes over the last few years, having said that in NHL 21 does show some good signs of improvement. However it isn’t enough.
So these sliders are about balance. We don’t want to see the CPU over powered. The goal here is to find the right balance between the CPU and user, and most importantly to have fun. So plug these in and give it a shot! Settings: Game Style: Custom Post Whistle Rules: Authentic Fighting: 1/2 Injuries: On Penalties: 4/4 Period Length: 6-10 Minutes Difficulty: Superstar Penalty Time Scaling: 3/6 Coincidental Scaling: 2/6 Gameplay Sliders: If I only show one number its the same for both HUM and CPU General Attribute Effects: 5/10 Game Speed: 0/6 Fatigue Effect: 65/100 Fatigue Recovery: 40/100 Injury Occurrence: CPU 52/HUM 55 (Game speed at 0 is a must. Hockey is a fast pace game, but anything above 0 feels too arcady. Also injuries happen often in real life. Raising it a bit we should see more, and force us to adjust our lineups accordingly) Skating Back Skating: 55/100 Hustle: Authentic Puck Carrier Agility: 42/100 Puck Carrier Skating: 42/100 Player Acceleration: CPU 47/HUM 40 Skating Speed: CPU 45/HUM 40 Skating Agility: 45/100 (I bumped up the CPU skating acceleration and speed to prevent users blowing by the defenders. It seems that the CPU doesn’t accelerate often enough. So this should help.) Shooting One Timer Accuracy: 40/100 Shot Accuracy: 42/100 Shot Power: 42/100 Slap Shot Accuracy: 40/100 Slap Shot Power: 45/100 Passing Manual Passing: On Pass Assist: 35/100 Min Pass Speed: 20/100 Max Pass Speed: 60/100 Saucer Pass Speed: 40/100 Pass Accuracy: CPU 20/HUM 45 Pass Interceptions: 70/100 Pass Reception Ease: 20/100 Reception Reaction Time: 25/100 Puck Control Rating Effect: 55/100 Puck Speed Reception Effect: 45/100 Pickup Type Effect: 55/100 Bouncing Puck Receptions: 52/100 (Pass Accuracy has been out if hand with the CPU with the ping pong passing over the years. So lowering this prevents that from happening.) Puck Control Incidental Contact Loss: Stick, legs and body Incidental Contact Immunity: 0/100 Puck Control: 15/100 Deking Impact: 45/100 Spin Deke Impact: 40/100 Skating Impact: 43/100 Goalies Cover Frequency: 65/100 Goalie Passing: 45/100 Goalie Cross Crease Reaction: 73/100 Goalie Save Reaction Time: 57/100 Goalie Deflection Reaction: 45/100 Goalie Screen Effect: 65/100 Goalie Screen Persistence: 55/100 (Bumping up the goalies cross crease reaction decreases all of those easy one timer goals from side to side) Checking Board Effect Non Puck: 55/100 Board Effect Puck Carrier: 55/100 Hitting Assistance: 5/100 Stumble Threshold: 35/100 Fall and Stumble Ease: 35/100 Aggression: 52/100 Hitting Power: 44/100 Size Effect: 40/100 Speed Effect: 35/100 Checking/Balance Rating: 85/100 Preparedness Effect: 55/100 Incidental Contact Effect: 25/100 Poke Checking Accuracy: CPU 30/HUM 25 Poke Checking Power: CPU 50/HUM 45 Stick Lift Effectiveness: CPU 50/HUM 45 (Hitting at default is way to arcady. So here turning down the power should result in realistic hits.) Penalties CPU Penalties: Previous (68) 54/100 CPU Teammate: 41/100 Tripping: 35/100 Slashing: CPU 20/HUM 25 Elbowing: 70/100 High Sticking: 70/100 Cross Checking: 70/100 Boarding: 60/100 Charging: 60/100 Delay of Game: 60/100 Holding: 65/100 Hooking: 45/100 Interference: 85/100 (Another issue over the years were the lack of penalties called against the CPU. Having this to 54 along with the infractions gets a good balance of calls throughout the game.) AI AI Learning: 4/6 CPU Difficulty Adjustment: 0 CPU Faceoff Difficulty: 55/100 Fight Difficulty: 50/100 CPU Adjustment Strategy: 3/6 User Adjustment Strategy: 0/6 Just want to throw in a little house rule that I have for myself. Once the CPU enters the offensive zone who ever I’m controlling on Defence I stay controlling him until the puck leaves the zone, Or it automatically switches for me when my teammate touches the puck. So give these a shot guys. Again first time doing this, but I tested them out and it plays great for me. Any feedback and suggestions welcomed! Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports |

I don't really "plug in" anyone's particular slider set. I tend to look at each slider set post to see what others are doing and kind of adjust things to my style of play. I do appreciate the time it takes to test them and post them though.

Played two game with your sliders (season mode)
First game, San Jose vs Anaheim 1-0 Win, only goal on a 5-3 Power Play. Second Game, Washington VS Boston 3-2 OT Loss, Scored my two goals on Power Play, they scored on PK, PP and in OT. __________________________________________________ _________ Plays well. Need a period or two to control the passing game (you really have to hold the R2 button for a hard pass). Biggest problem are penalties. In the WAS-BOS game, they took 6 penalties in the first period only. In the other one, I ended up with 11 power plays... _______________________________________________ Wil try them again |

Try dropping the cpu Penalty slider to 65. I’ve been testing them on that and it’s definitely a little less penalties being called. Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports |

Sliders are playing great! Getting good stats. Just lost to Edmonton in a shootout.
Shots were 27-23 for EDM Hits 19-14 for MTL (me) Faceoffs 18-12 EDM And after adjusting penalties to 65 I’ve been seeing great balance. We had 4 Power plays each. I currently sit at 8-8-2. I play on 6 minute periods btw. Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports |
Re: SportsFan28 - NHL 21 Superstar Sliders -
Made a few adjustments to the sliders.
Hum injury occurrence - 55 Still not seeing a good chunk of injuries. I had to bump this. I will be monitoring this. CPU player Acceleration - 47 CPU skating speed - 45 I was still seeing easy blow bys raising these gives the CPU an extra step to prevent this. Skating Impact - 43 Slight decrease. Was seeing too many players losing the puck on previous setting. CPU Penalties - 54 CPU teammate Penalties- 41 Slashing - CPU 20/HUM 25 I was still seeing a ton of penalties on 65, tweaked it and get 3-5 power plays a game now. Lowering slashing helped as well.
