As someone that likes to play 20 min periods, this has been my number one issue to tackle in NHL 17. Being a stack freak, playing 20 minute periods for my franchise hinges on the stats being good, otherwise I'll have to adjust my period length.

I've been using AlTitos sliders and have hope that it is doable. On Allstar I was giving up around 15 shots a period and getting 10-12 for myself. I know the CPU numbers are high, but I have been away from the series since NHL 11, so my defense is trash. My shot numbers have been trending up as I play more so I figured I would up the difficulty. Also, one thing to note, all those loose pucks that make their way to the goalie count as a shot on goal, so keep that in mind. I don't know if those count in real hockey? Tonight I upped the difficulty to superstar from all star. I gave up a bit too many shots, again poor defense and a lot of penalties. But I had an absolute nightmare getting good shots on, really had to work for it, so I was very pleased with that.

So in closing, is it possible? I think so, just gonna take some fine tuning with the sliders I think. However I think it's really close now and it's a matter of my skill to get the numbers right. I really hope I can play 20 minute periods and not have to go for 10.
