Used your sliders for a period, 8-1 me:
Here are some Highlights:
This one is long with a low frame rate but I wanted to capture how bad the defense was and for how long
I could do many more of these but it would be beating a dead horse.
Its nothing against you, the sliders are fine, the AI is severely broken in this game and sliders won't fix it.
You played with the sliders and setting AS IS and on Superstar ? It was 8-1 after 1 ?
WTH !!! Maybe I’m super bad and everyone playing with my sliders are also, lol !!!
I play player lock and try to play like hockey…. Not looking for glitch goals and I’m also passing the puck…
These clips are awesome BTW, how do you make these ? It’s a gif of a video ?
And no offence, but all I see in these clips is a guy not passing, hanging on to the puck looking for glitch goals… Same thing I see when I look videos of online… If you wanna have fun, try playing player lock, not look for glitches, pass the puck and never ask for passes. Put each team on (Puck Side Attack) in the team Strategies and maybe, just maybe you'll see what I see 😉 Then post a video of a whole period 😀
Aren't all of us gamers playing some sort of simulation, or at least an abstract version of reality?
Personally, I've been gaming since the mid-80s, and my gaming library has many classics and memories. In fact, not only is my PlayStation library full of reminiscing, so is my Nintendo Switch (OLED) library. B'ye crikey, mate, I love gaming!
Okay, I'll now add to what you're pointing out. Yes, there's plenty of "simulators". And as an almost 3-decade (gamer) fan of the NHL series, this series needs more interjection from the current and lackadaisical development team that's supposedly taking pride in what they're selling. At this point, and over the last several iterations of this series, their stance has been quite the opposite. Why? Because they know full well that the supposed small demographic will buy this game, regardless of the platform, hype, past transgressions, and most importantly, whatever the price point is. Ha, and yes, they've already, long before release, have factored in that the supposed small demographic will tirelessly complain on this forum. Pride? Nope. Integrity? Nope. Care factor? Nope. Profit? Most certainly.
Bottom line, I'm also a part of the supposed small demographic, and I could have done something better with my $94 CAD.

Would be cool to see what you talking about, put up a whole game to watch, if there's no problem for you of course.
EA should create a Competition, were the community will have to do their best, to get the most hockey out of the gameplay, the score is second, but the product of hockey is first.
And then create a poll were we get the chance to vote on the candidate we thinks are doing the best job.

I have posted games on YT, or whole periods… Especially when I was testing a fix, solutions I found for the DMen… Will post a recent game clip if you want buddy with all my new tweaks to the game 😉
Yes, it is a good idea 😀

Yes I make a gif of the recorded gameplay on PS5.
You're right, I'm not passing, hanging on to the puck - BECAUSE THE AI LETS ME. I should have to move the puck to create offense. The fact that I can skate around with the puck in the offensive zone without the AI stopping me is an indictment of just how pathetic the AI is in this game. I shouldn't pass the puck or play realistically because I want to, I should HAVE TO. If I want to use my imagination to play realistic hockey I can get on the floor and play with figurines like a little kid and "pretend" its a real hockey game. This isn't a sandbox game like the Sims or Minecraft where you are supposed to use your imagination to create your own fun, this is supposed to be a competitive game.
It sounds like you play with a lot of "house rules" to make the game harder and more realistic. You handicap yourself with the camera angle where can't see teammates half the time, you "go easy" on the AI and avoid taking advantage of their deficiencies, you make realistic plays even though you don't have to. I used to do this when I was a kid 30 years ago with NHL games back then, we shouldn't have to do that now. EA is perfectly capable of making a realistic and challenging game with the technology we have, they just choose not to.
Well, with all do respect, my house rules are pretty simple, I play hockey (NHL series) like real hockey… I play player lock, since when in real hockey you can be the 5 guys on the ice ? And when I look at these clips, the way you play, is like you're playing online in an offline scenario. In real hockey, you don’t see the plays you are making, or your teammates would go crazy… Or you would get a blind side hit so bad…
When you talk about a simulation, I try to play like one. If I would buy a bus simulator, I would probably stop at every red lights and take people in at all my bus stops, not try to run people over, lol !
Like I said, try only one game as per my recommendations, and maybe you’ll have fun 🤔
BTW, you must be one heck of an online player !
