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.
Man, when you talk about my setup, at least have the decency to see what the setup is all about….

- First of all, every players in the NHL have been edited from almost head to toe. This is why, I work on the X version and GetThePuckOut works on the PS5 side of things. The players react and play differently. Again, it’s not just a slider set. And YES you CAN affect AI tendencies a bunch. We’ve tested this through and through in numerous Settings…
At the moment we are still editing ALL forwards just so that they can be a tad more creative and miss the net on occasions when they deflect the puck. Not a SURE thing like the game is setup to be. We are aiming at a 100% ORGANIC gameplay.
That goes to show you that every little details is taken into account. If you only knew how tedious and how long it takes to edit just one player… Imagine 600 or so…
So yeah, your players will skate slower and be much less agile but then you're missing out on the speed of the game.
- Second of all, players have been clocked with having real NHL speed. We’ve done some test with McDavid and a few other players, and they achieve the same speed as in real life. Heck, our skating speed is at 100 and the Puck Carrying speed is at 90% ! That’s the first thing I wanted was to have the speed of the real game to a Tee.
Also, playing "player lock" isn't always fun.
- I suggest playing Player Lock for different reasons, but I sometimes play as the whole team and plenty of guys using the Setup also and the game plays the same… I never forced anyone to play PL…
Having a guy bobble a puck because he tried to skate with it isn't "fun."
- I don’t know what you did or what Settings you used but this statement is so wrong 😑 You can look at all my videos and this is not true at all. Stop making false claims or assumptions… The only times guys will sometimes bobble the puck is when the puck is bouncing, like in real hockey you know…
Peace ✌️
