I remember you trying my old setup of 23 at one point awhile ago. Can I interest you in trying our new one ? And the same question can be asked to @BoredJason13 and @Cote12 ?
We have changed the AI behaviour quite a bit in the edits and I find the AI to be the best it ever was. I could challenge you guys to play by my own rules and we’ll see where we go from there 🤔 We are about to come out with our last version that we think is the best in the NHL series and if you wanna have premium access 😉 let me know 😀
I strongly encourage any of you that want a simulation experience to give @PernellKarl027 's slider and player setup a try. His videos are a great looking experience if that is what you desire. @BoredJason13 @Cote12

Thanks man for the nice shoutout, you are the man ! Where can I send you a tip 🤔😉😂
One of these days, even if it’s not your cup of tea, I’m gonna have to put up a challenge for you to try with our setup 😉
Lets say, keep either the Carolina Hurricanes or the Edmonton Oilers under 30 SOG and win the game, while playing locked on D with all my recommendations 😉😂 Not an easy task to say the least…
Just finished a game there myself and I failed on both accounts of my challenge 😂 Was playing left D for the Habs against the Bruins.That's what’s great, cause even when I lose a game in that setup, I always have a smile on my face cause how the game plays 😀
Bruins scored an empty netter with 8 seconds left… Caufield touched the post 10 seconds prior 😫
It was an AMAZING game all around, look at the SOG, TOA and Hits totals !
The problem with @PernellKarl027 sliders is that they just nerf skating ability without making any actual changes to AI (because you CAN'T affect AI tendencies with EA NHL's slider offerings). So yeah, your players will skate slower and be much less agile but then you're missing out on the speed of the game. Also, playing "player lock" isn't always fun.
Having a guy bobble a puck because he tried to skate with it isn't "fun."
All of this said, I haven't found the offline to be as bad as what was shown in the clips OP posted. I've been playing on All-Star with OVP settings and while they definitely let you gain their zone too often, I've found the games to be competitive still. Maybe I'm just not good at this game yet? I'm usually a pretty high-ranked versus player so idk. Time will tell.
What I CAN say is that the clips shown by OP are egregious... that's for sure. I know that programming AI in such a dynamic setting as hockey is INCREDIBLY hard from a sheer algorithmic approach but you'd think EA Sports would have a better foundation down after all of this time.
