Hey Everyone!
Thanks for checking out the sliders! I labeled these the "game changer" sliders as I feel like my slider values are quite different from the "norm" and I'm really excited to share them with everyone! A quick disclaimer here though, I do use a completely custom roster which I will release on the XSX whenever roster sharing becomes available. All of these values might not play nicely with default roster, but they also might so I figured I'd share my values for the community in hopes that in inspires others or helps other find their perfect mix of values from all of the great slider makers on here. After all, the long-time slider guru's are who influenced me and I'm always trying to learn and take things from other sets in hopes that it will make my own set the best possible personal experience when I'm playing.
Make sure to leave any comments below! I'd love to discuss what you like and don't like. No slider set is for everyone, but hopefully there's something to get you thinking about your set on here. Thanks!
Main Goals of the set:
1. Adding realism/unpredictability without sacrificing fun (not overly sloppy/slow) by allowing attributes to influence the more "automatic" parts of the game (shooting, puck pickups, etc) more than OOTB settings. I also use fully unassisted passing as it allows for both the unlimited creativity that only full manual passing can provide while also making even the most opportune chances anything but a "gimmie" as good execution is ALWAYS required.
2. Make the CPU opponent more human by nerfing their robotic agility and puck pickups. This allows for much more zone time as forechecking is now effective and fun. You'll see times where the CPU has a buff (speed) and times where the human has a buff (acceleration). This is 100% an effort at total balance, not nerfing the computer into oblivion.
3. Make scoring fun exciting again by utilizing auto aim which mitigates human exploitation and allows for goalie reaction times and stats to be lowered in-order to allow for more organic scoring. No more "money" goals (short-side cheese) but also allows for a lot more "bang-bang" one-timer plays and chaotic rebound sequences where you can focus on positioning and passing (as it's fully manual) and just let your guys hack away.
4. Player separation is achieved through a custom roster that takes heavy advantage of the new x-factor and superstar abilities.
5. Creating a pace where skaters can reach realistic top-end speeds, can be agile and responsive when necessary, but also have enough weight to them in-order to prevent unrealistic agility and handling at top speed.
