Hey everyone!
For those interested, here are the sliders I use right now in NHL 19. As always, I try to get a good mix of fun and realism, with a sloppy gameplay and a lot of loose pucks. I will be making tweaks while I continue playing and I will try to keep this post as updated as possible to reflect the changes I make.
According to your skill level, you can play on All-Star or Superstar difficulties. You should start with CPU Difficulty Adjustment at 0 and if it becomes too easy, you may increase it by a few clicks. You can play the game on 6 to 8 minutes periods, but I suggest you to play 8 minutes if you want to get more realistic stats.
Don't be afraid to adjust things to your liking or needs, these sliders are only there as a base. Have fun!
ADVICE: I highly suggest you to raise Puck Control before the beginning of a shootout. Also, if you find puck control to be an issue in general gameplay, try lowering the Skating Impact slider in the puck control section.
