NHL22 'Abyss sliders' - The gap between Pro and All Star

[sadler]

These sliders are aimed at that gap between Pro (too easy on default) and All Star (ping pong perfect AI). They worked well on NHL21 and seem to be doing ok on 22. The game is somewhat similar in many ways.

Change the following values. All other settings/sliders remain on default. Set your game level to Pro before making changes.

Settings:

Game Style: Custom (I rename my saved style NHL22)
Post Whistle Rules: Authentic
Fighting: 2/2
Injuries: On
Penalties: 4/4
Period Length: 6 minutes
Difficulty: Pro
Penalty Time Scaling: 0/6
Coincidental Scaling: 0/6

I've kept time scaling low as you will see an accurate number of powerplays per game.


General:

Game Speed: 3/6 (default)
Injury Occurrence: 65 (for realism) or 50 (default)


Goalies:

Cover Frequency: 50
Goalie Cross Crease Reaction: CPU 90/Human 85
Goalie Save Reaction Time: CPU 90/Human 85
Goalie Deflection Reaction: CPU 90/Human 85
Goalie Screen Effect: CPU 50/Human 50
Goalie Screen Persistence: CPU 50/Human 50


Shooting:

One timer accuracy down to 40 for human and cpu
Slap shot accuracy down to 35 for human and cpu

Checking

Hitting power down to 25 for player and cpu


Penalties:

CPU Penalties: 95
CPU Teammate: 95
Tripping: 95/95
Slashing: 95/95
Elbowing: 95/95
High Sticking: 95/95
Cross Checking: 95/95
Boarding: 95/95
Charging: 95/95
Delay of Game: 65/65

Hooking: 95/95

I feel exactly the same way,I hate having to play a perfect game to win.Almost impossible to score on a clear shot.I do the same to my sliders with cpu difficulty maxed.I find it harder to win but cpu gets very few shots. Don't what to handicap cpu or user.How do we gets more shots from cpu.Good work on your sliders.

My first game on these sliders versus Montreal (I was Buffalo).

Outshot 32-19 (I won 4-1)

You need to play 10/15 games to get a good sample size.

Also bare in mind these sliders are based around my skill level (I find All Star too hard and Pro too easy). They won't work if your skill level is a little better or worse than mine.

I'm going to try your settings,mine were almost the same except for goalies.Allstar is too hard and Pro too easy.Same as you.

Just punched in your changes,very similar to mine but the game changer was changes for goalies.Great work,game plays great and harder to win on Pro.Good job.

Reduced checking power to 25 for player and cpu.
