Toxic community?
I believe a community is only as toxic as the environment the developers create. Currently NOTHING is done for any toxic in game behaviors. EA also just says there is nothing they can do.. we have p...

@PernellKarl027Too much puck bobbling on the simplest of passes. Zero difference in speed of the players. Barely at hitting. Barely any penalties because the gameplay is so slow. Time on Attack is super low which speaks volumes about the sloppiness of puck controlling the simplest of things. Maybe from an offline POV it looks good but from an Online POV it looks boring and sloppy to me, but to each their own.

Thanks, you just proved my point. Real hockey is exactly what you have described here, lol ! Like you said to each their own, cause your Online POV like you said is not the real thing…
First of, there is a big difference in the speed of players, you just have to play the game to notice it. If you take a closer look, you'll see that the easy passes connects pretty easy and the hardest ones, where the player on the receiving end is in a bad spot or doesn’t have much time to react, he bobbles it a bit..
Take a look at any hockey game and you’ll see that the players, most of the time, they always fight with the puck… Time on attack having control of the puck, is supposed to be on the low side too… Hockey IS a sloppy sport most of the time. There are no magnets in real hockey. The puck is supposed to be alive…
All my slider sets averages Stats that are on PAR with the REAL NHL, the SOG, the hitting, penalties and the average scores…I don’t know why you say there's barely any hitting ? Oh, you mean players laying on the ice every 10 seconds ? Another thing you rarely see in the NHL…
But like you said, to each their own…
I'd love to see more of these sim games like 4 more to make it a total of 5 to compare the endgame stats. Vegas averaged 2.7 penalties per game which was the lowest in the league so we should be seeing around 5-6 penalties per game. Then we have offensive zone time which this is pretty old but with teams averaging the amount of penalties per game that TOA should be much higher.
I'm wanting to see if you can get it even more sim in statistics.
Great stuff… Let me know what you wanna have ? I have a bunch of screenshots taken at the end of games with stats…. A bunch of video clips from gameplay, a bunch of unedited full periods clips… I also go in full details at Operation Sports in my Slider thread.
I'm currently finishing things up, but I'm still pinching myself because right now I have set the game up to play a FULL 60… Like you said to each their own, but that has always been a dream of mine 😀
Never thought that it would be possible on EA's platform…
@PernellKarl027If you throw a human into that mix of your sim does the AI tend to revert back to more stupid things like bad positioning and such? (even if playing solid positionally)
But yes post more of your full sim experience and settings and let others get a taste of it. It could help even the dev team get ideas of what they could look into fixing when it comes to attributes either working too well or not well enough. Data and feedback is always a nice thing to have.
