I haven't touched the other two penalty sliders under game settings for CPU and CPU AI teammates, I'll max those out my next game. Anyone try the game speed at 1 or 2 and notice a huge framerate issue? I'm fine on 3 and above (4 is default) but if I try 2 it's fine for a little bit and then it's so choppy I can't even play and have to turn it back up to 3. I even cleared the XB1 cache, same issue.

Ya know what I did have that framerate issue with it down 2-3 notches. I had thought it was because the game was still installing (only played before it finished because the download was going so slow! Which ironically after I'd started it went faster?).

Anyway that's disappointing if it's still like that with the game fully installed... Hope that gets fixed because slower speed makes for much better gameplay imo, minus those fps issues obviously.

When I played the CHI - TB game while I was installing, the gameplay was super fast, after it installed, it was still fast, but on 3 it felt good.. on 2 it was find until a goal was scored and then was unplayable it was so choppy. Had to turn it back up to 3 to finish playing.

Hope it gets fixed in a release day patch!

Can you edit equipment in GM Mode?

Hoping for some gameplay answers.
1. Is the CPU still able to do things with the puck that user can’t (ie, stop on a dime and backup without any loss of speed or momentum).
2. Do you notice when the CPU has a superstar on the ice, or do all the players appear to have equal skill.
3. Will the CPU go into berserker mode when it’s down a goal making it nearly impossible to get the puck away from it?
4. Are your CPU teammates still passive, braindead, morons who will only stare at the puck carrier and not even attempt a stick-lift or pokecheck?

Thanks!

The CPU defenders are a bit more aggressive at stepping up to hit you if they have a numbers advantage while you're carrying the puck up through the neutral zone. But other than that, I haven't noticed much difference from the AI in NHL 15. All the old warts are still there, on both sides of the puck. If you're wanting to get this game to play against the AI, I would say don't do it unless some of our sliders wizards find a way to make things much better. Because on default slider settings, it plays pretty much like NHL 15 did.
