20 min Pure SIM sliders? BGM

[Nygs]

Anyone have any ideas? 20 min periods. Last year, Phantom had a good set. Nothing for this year though. Sick of 5 goal games, as I'm sure EVERYONE is.

I am looking for the same thing. It seems like it's going to be very difficult to get a pure SIM brand of hockey in this game. I have always been able to figure out a way to get realistic gameplay but with this game I am nowhere close to finding a good set. In my opinion the game is too offensive minded to get a true SIM on 20 minute periods. I would maybe try to raise player acceleration to 4 and game speed to 0. I would also lower Ai learning and for cpu difficulty I would put it at 2. I know some people have said that raising cpu difficulty makes the computer cheat but I find if tuned correctly with other sliders it makes the computer more defensively minded. I play be a gm exclusively in goalie mode and that's what my experience has been with cpu difficulty.

I think I have found a solution to the over the top offense in this game. I play goalie in bagm but I'm sure it would work controlling everyone on your team but what I have found out is if you play on all star or superstar hardcore and put game speed at 0, player acceleration at 4-6 depending on your preference the game plays a very defensive minded game. It depends on the team you are playing on the score and etc but I'm finally enjoying this game on 20 minute periods. Luckily my love for hockey and my patience gave me the strength to find these because I would have traded this game in months ago if I didn't have those two things. Nhl 15 is the worst hockey game I have ever played but hopefully this find helps some people find a resemblance of real hockey.

I will post them in a bit. I am relatively new to this site so I will post them in this thread because last time I checked I couldn't create a thread based on not having that privilege yet.

Update on my sliders. Passing speed and saucer pass is better at 1 instead of3.

How well do you play as goalie. I thought this mode was broken.
