To be honest this is a dream come true to meā¦ Iāve always wanted a cyber game that played closest to itās real life counterpart, and Iām pretty sure I was able to seal the deal š
With all the shortcomings and all the handcuffs we have with Sliders, Settings, Strategies and individual values for players that HALF the time donāt work as intended. It makes it even more satisfying to say the least.
I am very proud and excited to show you this video. Itās a culmination of the work Iāve done on NHL22 and now 23 to bring this game at the next level !
In all humbleness here it isā¦ In beautiful 4K and crank up the volume, I think you wonāt regret it š

** Disclaimer: To achieve that Ultra Realistic Gameplay, this is a whole complete package. Itās not only sliders. I repeat, itās not just slidersā¦
These sliders are great, but you absolutely need the Taylor Made Roster to achieve the desired gameplay. Also, you will need to set the game up as described below. Everything needs to be entered AS ISā¦ The sliders are a touchy business, once entered, donāt even look at them, trust me š
*** Also, if you come in PK's Club to ask questions about your experience with this setup, please make sure you have the exact same setup and roster or else this will become a ball of confusion in a hurry.
Here is the ROSTER you will needā¦ You can check the video for the name of that said roster and at the same time, you will see new faces, in new places šš

THE REASONS WHY I PREACH PLAYER LOCK
The reasons why Iām preaching Player LOCK š is that the game and especially the AI plays much, much better. Just for this, itās worth it a 100 %
For me player locking is a way of life, lol ! You get to do your part on a very fast team sport. Every little decisions you do countā¦ Should I pinch here ? Should I stay back to cover this guy ? Should I call for a line change here ? Can I keep the puck a little longer to give my teammates time to change ? Do I have time myself and is it safe to go for a change here ? Do I go for a huge hit here and leave myself exposed if I miss ? If they block my shot here at the point, can they go on a breakaway ?
Also never asking for a pass brings another level of authenticity to all of this. In what league or team have you ever played in, that when you ask for a pass, your teammates immediately pass it to you ? This makes no sense to meā¦. Put yourself in a good position and they will pass it to you and youāll feel grateful they did š
On top of having 0 pass assistā¦. You really have to AIM your passes and wait for your teammate on the other end of it, to be in the best disposition to receive itā¦ It feels REAL š
You also get to be a MAJOR part of your teams success. Your own play gets to dictate the outcome like never before especially when playing on Dā¦ You have to give every little bit of attention and add all the little details to your play, to your game. Something you just donāt or canāt do when you play as the whole team IMOā¦ Just try it for 1 or 2 games and youāll probably never look back after that š
For the people already in the player locking business š, donāt be afraid to chime in and let me know if I missed something hereā¦
I just know that since I adopted this way of playing the game, is when I started being more interested in playing the game instead of watching oneā¦ I mean YOU GET to play with Crosby, Malkin and friends š What more can you ask for ?
Thanks and let me know if I converted only one of you šāļø

This shorter video is a quick example of how the game speed/flow/pace should feel and look like, when you enter my sliders set AS IS and play with my roster PK76 FULL60 GAMEPLAY. If the pace and flow doesn't look like this, something is wrong with the sliders entered.
I play Left D locked for the Penguins, with only the on ice sound to focus more on the gameplay pace š
On top of this, Jets and Pens are 2 teams that are heavy on the forecheck strategies and should by default promote more hectic gameplay. But the results are very tempered gameplay and satisfying to me š

BEST WAY TO AVOID BERZERK MODE AND KEEP THE GAME VERY STABLE
This is how I have been proceeding over the years over my paranoia of BERZERK, lol ! Very happy to say that it didnāt show itās face in a very loooong timeā¦
- Before I start NHL, I go OFFLINE (no network).
- Go into the sliders section and enter my set AS IS (very important)
- Save your slider set.
- Do a complete shutdown of your system. (For XBOX, Hold the power button for about 5 seconds)
- Once you start the game, never go into the Sliders Tab. NEVER !
- Take #5 very seriously. Iām not kidding when I say just one value can put this game out of whack. Trust me.
- HAVE FUN š
