I think ea managed to fix the fight frequency bug that made players with a never fighting frequency actually not fight ever, which is a good thing but annoying for those of us who love line brawls. To get non-fighting players to fight you will need to do a roster edit and change the fighting frequency to sometimes or rarely, set to a higher level if you want a high chance of them fighting every time they are challenged.

This Slider Set is tuned to longer games 10-20min periods, you will need to micromanage the players energy, try to avoid using hustle unless you really need it, if you're playing less then 10min periods you can drop the Fatigue Effect a few points and raise the Fatigue Recovery a few points, I'd try 2-3 points to start then jam a few games and see how it feels then if its still drains to quick give it another tweak and repeat until you find the sweet spot you're after.

@@Hockiwi Thank you so much for your help!!

I tend to tweak the sliders as I play through a Be A Pro career, and will be posting an updated version of this slider set tuned for the 70-80ovr Be A Pro players. A lot of the changes needed to make the goalies and shoot/pass tendencies better requires tweaking the individual player rating, Tougie24, TacTix, and SnipeNScore make some custom/updated rosters with better player ratings and shoot/pass tendencies.

It will depend on what period length you use and how long you want the penalty clock to run, time scaling is for changing the speed of the game clock during a penalty, if you play with 20min periods then this won't change anything, but if you use a shorter period length then 6/6 with make the clock speed slow down to real time but 1/6 will keep the same pace as the rest of the period. With the hitting and passing assist it's partly personal preference but mostly to get rid of the near automatic passing and hitting that the EA default sliders have, with the assist at 0 it makes for a more sim feel than the arcady feeling default sliders.

With the default sliders passing is basically automatic, these sliders are much harder, try holding LT/L2 as the puck gets to the player they will square up to the puck, if you are playing Be A Pro your player will get better at receiving the pass the more you do this, also don't touch the right stick just let the animation grab the puck.

With these sliders you really do need to manage how and when you use your energy, in the setting check if you have auto hustle enabled, this will drain your endurance very quickly as it tends to make your player skate at full speed all the time, auto hustle and back skating I make sure to turn off straight away. You should find you don't need to skate at full speed unless you are on a break away or chasing a loose puck.

@Hockiwi I did hear about the auto hustle, but I have not seen it in the settings. The only one I found is the auto back skate, which I did turn off. I will have to check again for the other one.

You can have it higher if you want, I like to increase it in the playoffs as it is an incremental change to the difficulty ie 6/6 on allstar is almost as hard as 0/6 on superstar

i play 35 game in BAP, 19 G 15 A 10 min supestars

Agreed 👍

Also what does the sliders feel like, I just applied them but I have family plans

@richardcolin9200 I typically play franchise with CPU v CPU using these sliders, only things I might change would be pass reception ease up by 5-10 and attribute effects 8/10

@@Hockiwi Hello my friend, since the new update the sliders don’t seem to be effective anymore. Is it possible for you to readjust them, please? We're averaging over 60 shots per game, which seems way too much to me 😊

@richardcolin9200 hopefully its just a bug, I noticed in the early release the slider settings needed to be reactivated before every game when playing season or franchise mode, if you go into the game play sliders and check to see if the active slider set is the custom sliders don't change anything in the sliders just switch back to the NHL 25 default slider an look to see if anything changes when you switch back, if there is no change to the sliders when you switch from your custom set back to the default set then it should reactivate your custom sliders when you reselect them.

With these sliders I've been getting an average 30-50 total hits per game, the combination of the checking sliders and attribute effects at 8/10 or higher makes a big difference on the hits made by players with a low body check rating. If you find the checking is still higher than you are looking for I would recommend turning down the aggression slider 2-3 points then play a handful of games see where it's at and repeat if needed.

@@Hockiwi cool cool, 🙏

30-50 hits isn’t realistic in the NHL. They average 25 at most

@mikes7446 To be fair the majority of hits in a game of Be A Pro or Franchise are made by myself, If I leave the checking to just the CPU players I get a much lower average hit count. The problem is I love making big hits lol, in Be A Pro I tend to average 15-20 hits per game.

@@Hockiwi how do you turn the hitting down? can't figure that out. can you help?

Yea, I ended up tweaking the majority of sliders bit by bit over the year, back skating, goalies and penalties got the most adjustment through the year I'm currently fine tuning the sliders for NHL 25 which I will upload later this week and I will be posting an updated version of the sliders I'm using at the end of each 'be a pro' season (aiming to get through a season per month)

I like to play the full 20min in be a pro but only 4-8min in franchise, really it just comes down to how long do you want to spend playing each game, I'll lower the penalty and injury sliders by 5-10 plus increase the CPU difficulty adjustment slider to 2-4/6 for the longer games

@@Hockiwi one more question what sliders should I change to get realistic scoring on 20 minute periods in cpu vs cpu games? I did one cpu vs cpu game on superstar with 20 minute periods and the score was 2-7 and each team had 70 shots

Some games will blowout regardless of the sliders, key is small tweaks here and there plus let a few games play out before making too many changes as it could just be that one game. Small changes to things like shot power/accuracy, goalie reactions/screen persistence and player attribute effects can make a big difference. The shots taken have more to do with player shoot/pass tendencies, you'll need to edit players to change that.

@@Hockiwi thanks

Try increasing goalie reaction times and lower the screen persistence, plus increase fatigue impact and lower fatigue recovery, there is also the cpu adjustment and passing sliders

To be completely honest I haven't touched franchise yet this year, but I usually run 5-8min periods with most settings the same as be a pro (screenshots are on twitter, a link is in the video description) but I will add some penalty scaling maybe 1-2/6, with injuries off so I can sim through most of the season without 'fixing' the line up all the time. I'm more of GM when playing franchise, I like to build and then watch how they do simming most of the season and watching the rivalry matches plus playoffs (if we make it lol)

I had to set the sliders 3 times, first in the games main settings, then again in Be A Pro and Franchise, annoying but it held and I found it holds any mid game tweaks that way as well

CPU AI? did you mean the CPU Difficulty Adjustment? if so that slider is for incremental changes to the games difficulty without changing up from pro to allstar or semipro to pro ie allstar with CPU adjustment at 6/6 is almost as hard as superstar at 0/6

@@Hockiwi got it yes thank you. I've been playing on pro with some sliders on, need it a little more challenging, so playing around with CPU difficulty adjustment.

With these sliders on Allstar I get an average of 40-50 shots combined, but there are a few things you could try, I would start with Attribute Effects at 10/10, Fatigue Effect at 80, Recovery at 35, Goalie Save & Cross Crease Reaction at 85, Deflection Reaction at 75, Aggression at 55, AI Learning at 2/6, CPU Strategy Adjustment 1/6 and if you want to stay on semi-pro you can use the CPU Difficulty Adjustment to make small changes to the difficulty, I often use the difficulty adjustment slider when I want the game to be harder but don't want to jump straight up to the next level, it also gives you a way of increasing the difficulty above Superstar which i tend to use in the playoffs

@@HockiwiOk, thanks. I’ll give it a shot and see what I end up with. 👍

It’s ridiculous how shit this game is sometimes

Thanks for this. Let’s see if works. But my biggest problem is the DDA and the algorithm. Can play good, dominating the CPU, but when I score and I go up by 2 or more Goals, the bullshit starts: penalties here and there (almost of them RIDICULOUS). Vicious trippings by the cpu no called. Magnetized puck who goes always to cpu. It’s frustrating and that’s the goal of the Game: make the user frustrated. All EA sports Games are ridiculous cheater, but NHL is the worst one BY FAR.

20min periods, hybrid icing, 1/2 fighting, Injuries On, 1/4 Penalties & Delayed Offsides. I have also uploaded a screenshot to twitter twitter.com/Hockiwi1/status/1736923875517379048?t=5zERXGWAFMtSnLJ3FcGakQ&s=19

​@@Hockiwiwhat if i play 4 minutes lenght perioids and use those sliders?

I would start with Penalties at 2/4 with time scaling at 1/6 or 0/6 if you dont want the game to stretch from penalties

@@UNKNOWN__922definitely 3/6 penalty time 💯

What do you do for period length of the games you physically play ?

Cheers for the constructive criticism it is a welcome change to the endless stream of 'anyone can do that on rookie' type of commentary which I tend to give a stock response of check out the uncut footage then comment (no surprise the comment section is empty on those vids lol), however I'm just trying to have fun playing a video game albeit a broken game from EA. I do practice those types of goals in freeskate, but in bap I'm an enforcer with very low deking and tend to lose the puck on just a basic toe drag LMAO maybe in NHL24 I'll build a power forward or maybe a playmaker but love the hitting a bit too much lol.

​@@Hockiwi I get that. I can't talk crap about a person who wants to enjoy themself with what brings them joy in a game. Not many people in the comments know what constructive criticism is anyway, but I tell you what, once you start having a variety of moves to pull out from your sleeve you'll have more fun scoring, nothing beats the feeling like going darn near the far red line and getting a "no angle" goal or going bar down. I have a suggestion for you to help maybe ease your way into more of a Power Forward position. I believe you when a guaranteed open ice hit presents itself, it's tough not to fulfill the initial motive, I love to try my hardest to ram the other team through the boards, thankfully in NHL 24 I'll be able to hit a player back on the bench where that player probably belongs. In EASHL with the boys I've found a snug position as a Power Forward that is able to knock players off the puck or flat out make them sit down if you catch my drift, while also being an offensive threat. With a Power Forward make the player about 6'2 - 6'3, weight at 218 lbs - 220 lbs If you love hitting I'll assume you use the "Truculence" zone ability, but maybe switch off to the "Big Rig" ability for a few games. The difference is obviously is that with the "Big Rig" ability you'll have better drives to the net (if that's you're comfortable play style). and try to balance out you're boosts and stuff with perks that'll help your snap/wrist shot power and accuracy, stick handling, and either defense or speed / acceleration. I'm always having to fill in my A.I. defenseman's shoes because you know how the A.I. is in 3's so I applied boosts and perks for shot accuracy, handling, and defense. I consider my build to be a Swiss Army Knife of sorts. I'd compare this build to that of Alex Ovechkin, Jamie Benn, Matthew Tkachuk, Ryan Getzlaf, Mark Messier, and (since you're the Minnesota Wild in the clips and I assume you're like me a Wild Fan) Marcus Foligno. Go Wild.

I'll tell you what, I'll make you a deal but only if you watch this uncut footage kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHmkfJ6hj9pqb5o then I'll make any changes to the difficulty or sliders that you think will make the game harder/more realistic, sound good? Leave your suggestions in that vids comment section.

I play on Allstar

Голы фигня играть не умеешь

Вот что я вам скажу: я заключу с вами сделку, но только если вы посмотрите этот неразрезанный материал kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHmkfJ6hj9pqb5o, тогда я внесу любые изменения в сложность или ползунки, которые, по вашему мнению, сделают игру лучше. сложнее/реалистичнее, звучит хорошо? Оставляйте свои предложения в разделе комментариев к этому видео.

Just having fun playing a video game mate, but if you watch the defence you'll see I'm following the path of least resistance, only so much I can do about being forced behind the net when there is a bug in the passing and if it opens up a scoring opportunity why would I not go for it?

@Hockiwi I mean I can't blame you since I put it on rookie mode and score 200 points a season 😂
