Starstruck - A NHL 15 Dallas Stars BaGM

[SENS_AK27]

I'm going to be starting a BaGM with the Dallas Stars. The Stars are a very promising young team but they are also in a very tough division. Do they have what it takes to rise to the top?

Due to the limits of NHL 15 BaGM on PS4 I'll be adding a few surprises for this GM Dynasty including a Generational Talent.

I'll attempt to update this franchise using Media Posts and Weekly Updates

SLIDERS

I'm a fan of challenging and realistic sliders, in previous versions of the NHL Series I have used variations of OBG's Superstar Sliders which gave me realistic stats and gameplay.

After playtesting I have found a set of sliders I feel is a good representation of what I'm use to. There will be always room for improvement as I tweak them further but this is what I'm going with to start off.

I had a lot of trouble getting the sliders to give me a realistic game on the Xbox One. I found the goalies were just not programmed very well, so I ended up having to put the reaction times on the highest slider and shot accuracy on the lowest slider. It still didn't give me enough realism though, as the game seemed wont to still score too many goals.

But I was letting the AI play itself, so that may have been my problem.

Hope the sliders work well for you (and if they do, I might steal them for my own use on the One ).

Looking forward to this.
