I tried all sort of sliders but I keep going back to the stock sliders (All Star, Hardcore). I think EA have done a reasonably good job with the stock sliders this year and the game feels frenetic and pacey just like a hockey game should do.

My experience with tweaking the sliders is that every change brings advantages and disadvantages.

Most of the changes I made were from the mindset of making the game looser and choppier, aiming for more stray pucks, unpredictable bounces, etc. Whilst I have achieved this, I find that the skating fluidity is sacrificed and everything looks and feels very jerky.

I am an advocate for the visual side of the game as much as the functional side. In other words, the action needs to look nice, capturing the momentum, fluidity and explosiveness of hockey. I can't find any slider set (apart from the stock set) which gives that representation and feel.

Anyone else enjoying the stock sliders?
