OBG's Post-Patch Sliders

[onlybygrace]

Okay, these are meant to be played over a handful of games. I have games where I'm outshot 30-15, then I turn around and out-shoot the CPU 30-15. There is a lot of variance.

The one area I'm really trying to get down is the HUM goaltender to CPU shot relationship. So, I'm interested in stats if y'all would be so kind.

So...without further delay...

Period Length: 10 minutes, some of you guys might prefer to play 11 or 12 with these. I sacrifice shot totals for lower scoring games. Plus 11-12 minutes seem way too long for my schedule. Plus, I don't sim games.
Penalties: Maxed
Post-Whistle: Authentic, but that up to you.
Penalty Scaling: 3 This one is important as with it a bit shorter, my PP percentages have gone down to more realistic percentages as I hover around 17-23%. Also, it has raised my PK percentages into the 80's, whereas before I was in the 70's all the time.

Skill Level: All-Star
Tuner Set: 2.0
CPU Aid: Normal

Human/CPU
Broken Stick Frequency: 3
Game Speed: 3
Attribute Effect: 6
Fatigue Effect: 4/4 I've learned to like players getting progressively more tired as the game goes on. Really justifies the Game Speed being at 3.
Fatigue Recovery: 3/3
Injury Occurrence: 6/6 Still not many injuries.
Puck Control: 1/1
Acceleration: 1/1

AI Learning: 6
CPU Difficulty: 5
CPU Strat Adj: 1
Hum Strat Adj: 0
CPU Faceoff Diff: 5
Fight Diff: 2
CPU Pen: 5
CPU Teammate Pen: 6

Pass Assist: 3
Man Passing: On
Pass Speed: 3
Saucer Pass Speed: 4
Pass Acc: 1/0
Pass Rec Ease: 0/0
Pass Interceptions: 1/0

Shot Acc: 1/1
Shot Pwr: 4/2
Slap Shot Acc: 0/0
Slap Shot Pwr: 6/5
1-Timer Acc: 0/0

Hit Assistance: 3
Aggression: 6/6
Hitting Power: 2/2
Stick Lift Effect: 4/4
Poke Effect: 3/4

Goalie Passing: 3
Goalie Cover Freq: 3
Screen Eff: 3/4
Goalie Reaction 6/6

Interested to see how you guys like em.

Nice

Need to find sliders i can go with, the ones i am using just now are good but i keep losing. I only seem to be able to score one goal and i'll usually lose 2-1 or in the shootout even if i have more of the puck.

Looking forward to trying these

[mikeymayhem]

your first post of sliders was gold looking forward to it... I can"t stop by killing the cpu on time on attack

[canucksss]

good to know!!!

i have a slider that im using, slightly different from yours that was adjusted based on my liking. so im looking forward on how you adjust ur previous sliders. =)

What are you pulling an EA on us?...





Nah, I'm just joking. Take your time.

I'll try to get them out tonight after I play. I'm still tuning the relationship between my goaltender and the CPU shooters...just need to see if I should lower my HUM goaltender reaction or raise the CPU shot power.

There is a possibility that I will, for the first time ever with EA's NHL Series, have a HUM goaltender reaction setting that is lower than the CPU's goaltender reaction.

I forgot I had family coming in tonight.

Not in the mood for the holidays, I am.

Makes me very happy that we are experiencing the same issue. I've been experimenting a lot(with a slightly modded version of your pre-patch sliders), and the CPU seems to have most if not all goals off rebounds after the patch. Now I'm not sure if the shot power will increase rebounds or they will be able to snipe more often, or if I lower reaction speed will the amount of rebound goals just skyrocket. Anyways, rant over.

I can't wait! I swore by your last sliders and I know these will make NHL 2010 that much more enjoyable

AHA OBG Works for EA!

Kidding, look forward to see what you did to balance out the CPU shot power and HUM Goaltending

[onlybygrace]

EA should hire me as I seem to know how to make their game work good.

Just think of it, OBG sliders as default settings on NHL 12. LOL.

Anyways, tonight I will release my best slider set ever, IMHO.

This game went from 'something missing feeling' to a damn good time.

Instead of the 2 games a week I was playing, its more like 7-9.
