BAP: Slider explanations please
Okay, going to ask about the sliders that have either confusing descriptions or confusing ones. I am going to assume that the same sliders will be used in NHL 23 so I the answers given will most like...

AI Tab:
AI learning: The game says it “will adjust how quickly the CPU adjusts to your playing habits”. Questions: is the CPU your teammates, opponent or the coach or all 3? Is learning a positive move to help the teammates anticipate where you will be or does it help the opponents on your tendencies? If this helps the defense and goes against you, then why have this slider when you have a slider to make the AI more difficult to play against?
This means the AI players will adjust when they switch their strategies. They have access to the same strategies that humans do.
CPU and BAP strategy adjustment sliders: Determines if the CPU/BAP will change their strategy based on game context. Questions. Does this make the changes more offensive minded or does it equally affect the defense? I’m assuming at 0 that both teams will play whatever the default strategy is and will not change no matter how far or behind the team is. If the slider is at 6, and a team is up by 2 goals, will this make the team more defense minded or is the slider only affect the offense?
Yes. This would be accurate.
General Tab:
Attribute Effects: The effects attributes will have on your players. Questions: What setting is the default setting where the attributes are most true to the default attributes. The gap between a 100 and a 70 rating is 30 points. If at a 5/10 setting is this the proper gap? If the slider set at 0 does that move the gap to 0 between the highest and lowest player? If at 10/10 does that improve a 100 rated player or reduces the 70 rated player or does it affect all players and where is the middle or fulcrum of the movement? Is each tick of the slider move a percentage, factor, or a set amount of reduction and enhancement? Mainly want to know what setting is the golden setting where all attributes perform as shown on each players card?
This is something I don't have fine details on. Every slider is different and it's quite complex.
- @EA_Aljo Thank you for getting back to me. I know that sliders are complex and like a web. You mess with one strand and it could very well effect the whole web.
Just wanted to clear up a few things you posted.
I understand the AI learning answer you gave. Does this mean both sides learn how you play or just your teammates?
With regard to the BAP strategy, I know it effects the aggressiveness of the coaching change with affects the offense. But does it apply to the defense? If I have both sliders at 6/6 and my team is up by 1 in the 3rd, does mean team adjust the defense or does it push and try to score more. Like the saying goes the best offense is a good defense.
And as far as the attribute effects. I just would like to know what would be the best setting to get the truest rating effect. Doing the research and in years past supposedly a dev said 3/10 is the truest setting, but for me 5 would seem like the truest setting. I can figure out the rest, just want to know what would be the best setting..
I appreciate you looking into this and asking questions. The only one left would be the user strategy slider. I am guessing that it would effect the player only if he/she was a D man or a forward and have zero effect on a goalie because there is no strategy change at all for a goalie. But it seems like that the slider makes players smarter. Again, could be what’s really happening or its the placebo effect.
Thanks againI think they changed it, I looked all over the net, and gamers are putting settings like this now: CPU Strategy Adjustment: 3 and User Strategy Adjustment: 3 and Be A Pro Strategy Adjustment: 3, so what happens if you put them at all 3 at 5, someone also made another discovery, by putting : deflection save reaction time: CPU: 85-100 and Human: 85-100, will make your goalie tougher, now I tried too put goalie persistence at 50-70 for both CPU and human and it doesn't work, my players were still not able to beat them. now if put it at 20-25 for goalie persistence game plays awesome.
am not sure exactly sure why it's set up this way, but I think each setting, is its own unique value.
