SLIDERS POSTED - POST #1 above.

I have had a WIDE VARIETY of games. Play good positional defense. I recognize that cpu hit power is high, but even lowering it one notch takes away their hits. So some of the big hits are necessary to get the numbers right. The user and cpu goalies have a wide disparity. This is also necessary as the cpu will be unstoppable and the user will play really dumb. This seems to really make the game come to life with the goalies.

Hope you enjoy them!

What made you comeback to the NHL series?

These look/play great, mk, as usual.

Can I get permission from you to put these on the Editors Corner—these are really good and we don't have any '15 sliders yet—with full credit to you, of course?

Thank you...

No permission needed - you know me, I just want to provide something for the community to help make these games enjoyable. Appreciate that...

As far as getting back into the game: I have a 360. I have no plans (at this point in time) to purchase any new gaming systems. So the 360 will be my last. I'm guessing some of these games will start going solely to XBox One, so I want some of these titles to keep for the long term.

I rented this game - in spite of all I read, I wanted to keep an open mind. I started toying with some sliders (I read MANY sets here at OS to get ideas, which is why I'm often a bit late in putting my sets out - no rush to be first, but would rather get it right). I really enjoy this game. With this slider set, I'm finding it to be a fun challenge.

My last 3 games: won 4-1. lost 7-3 (was tied 3-3 heading into the 3rd - all my fault late). lost 3-1. I want to be able to lose, yet not feel cheated.

I see no real updates coming to this set, so pretty much what you see above is "final" I believe.

[AdamJones113]

Awesome, thanks. Just played a 1-0 game followed by a 6-4 game. Sweet!

Sliders look good, I'll give them a shot tonight. Couple questions tho if I upped the game speed how would that pan out ( I like a fast paced game ) also would these work in BEAGM. Thanks keep up the good work as always.

[jonapaloma]

How about penalties? Do you get a decent amount or just like 2-4 combined?
