NHL 23 best Gameplay of all time with the right setup

You are missing out BIG TIME !

I’ve been away from the game for different reasons, but came back not too long ago and having an absolute blast 😀

I know that lots of people didn’t get 23 because of all the negativity surrounding it, but let me tell you that with the right setup, this game is a GEM ! I emphasize on the right setup, cause OOTB even on Simulation sliders the game just doesn’t cut it… Just know that I’ve put tons and tons of hours on getting the gameplay to the next level and I’m still working on tweaking it 😀

The game is surely on sale now and heck even free on Gamepass…

Here are the misconceptions about the gameplay:

- The AI is stupid.
- The AI don’t challenge the puck carrier.
- There are no dump in’s.
- There is no cycling the puck in the O zone.

- The puck is sticking like glue on the stick.

- No neutral zone play.
- Way too easy to enter the O zone.
- No board battles.
- The AI DMen never takes a Slapshot (worked really hard on this one, lol)
- The checking is way too over the top.
- The game is not realistic at all.

I could continue for hours, but I’ll stop… When I hear all of this, I just tell to myself, if only they knew…

Well action speaks louder than words. So here’s the setup. Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Panthers and Hurricanes. Panthers are leading 3-2 in the series… Period 1 of game 6 in sunny Florida 😀

I'm playing Left DMen Locked for the Hurricanes, controlling Burns 8, Pesce 22 and Chatfield 5… Playing on SuperStar difficulty with my sliders and settings and never asking for passes… Complete, unedited 1st period, all in 4K 😀 Crack the sound up a bit and enjoy 😀

Now, imagine having the ability to play online with your friends on player locked with this setup ? This would bring the game to the next level in my opinion. I’m working on a 15 minutes slider set and it’s looking unbelievable right now…

With all the negativity surrounding this series, I wanna bring a positive vibe around here. Let me know what you guys think 😀
