Why I’m showing you this… With the game tuned the proper way with players edits and good sliders, this could fix lots and lots of online problems IMO…
I totally agree - the game could be WAY BETTER online with better sliders. They wouldn't solve all the problems or make the game innovative/truly a step up from NHL 07 (AI, actual physics, more manual controls), but they would make it way better.
There are a million slider changes they should make and you seem to have a good handle on them, but even just turning up the "board effect on puck carrier" slider that has been there untouched for years would help reduce some of the unrealistic figure skating in the corners. Actually putting some responsibility on the puck carrier to stay within the boundaries of the rink would be a nice improvement.

Remember that sliders are just a part in all of this. Tons of players edits have been done to get that gameplay. I even used XFACTORS to our advantage to get the most out of the game. Imagine having NHL stats on around 15 minutes periods, without sacrificing real speed, pass receptions, and puck movements. If we can tweak the game for the hardest conditions, after this, it would be a breeze adjusting it to accommodate shorter periods without destroying the foundation 😀
The foundation of my Setup, is the PUCK CARRIER AGILITY at 0 to combat the unrealistic way of players to get out of corners like magicians. This was my first sliders that I changed for 22-23 that made a huge difference. Players now turn realistically, they have weight to them and you can feel the huge difference when you control a Jack Hughes compared to a Milan Lucic 😀
The board effect was also in the higher numbers in the beginning, but I saw a couple of times weird plays that resulted because of this. The AI will sometimes skates towards the boards without braking 😳
Here are my checking sliders right now and I found that by putting the Stumble Thresholds at 0 and having all the EFFECTS ones at 100 except the speed one, we get the best players behaviours in almost all situations 😀
CHECKING
- BOARD EFFECT NON CARRIER 20
- BOARD EFFECT PUCK CARRIER 20
- HITTING ASSISTANCE 0
- STUMBLE THRESHOLD 0
- FALL AND STUMBLE EASE 0 Check these, they change sometimes…
- AGGRESSION 0
- HITTING POWER 3
- SIZE EFFECT 100
- SPEED EFFECT 50
- CHECKING/BALANCE 100
- PREPAREDNESS EFFECT 100
- INCIDENTAL CONTACT 100
- POKE 0
- POKE POWER 100
- STICK LIFT 5
Alright, this is not a thread for my Setup 😉 But I just wanted to show that if there was Settings close to these ones, I would surely play a couple of games online 😀 Put the game as close to the REAL thing and you would almost negate all the major complaints from online peeps.
You would get:
- Limited time and space. Like in the real game.
- Realistic Skating.
- Poke that works as intended.
- Intercepting Cross-Crease.
- AI that would help you instead of being a nuisance.
- Playing Defense would now be in a very good place.
And that’s just a few things on top of my head 😉
Peace ✌️
