Hey guys, so for today's set of videos I've gone with showing off the Hardcore settings of the game. I played this one on All-Star difficulty and 7-minute periods. The other two videos will be up later today.

I'm not kidding it helps immensely with this game. In fact for me it's the only possible way I can get enjoyment out of it against the AI. I haven't tried it yet with 16 but they've worked well since they implemented this into the game. The issue though is they still need to add a few more slider options, specifically for neutral zone pressure. Honestly if you already enjoy the game and your issues are with these two areas, then once you make the adjustments it will make the game much more fun for you.

So, for whatever reason, I have never seen these sliders in the settings of any NHL game. There is a general CPU Strategy Adjustment slider, but I've never noticed a slider for specific stategies like cycle/shoot and carry/dump.

Are you sure we're talking about the same game?

Hypo, there used to be a feature in Customize that would let you set each team's AI (called "Build Your AI"). This included the features bwiggy's talking about. It wasn't in 15, I can't confirm that they've re-added it for NHL 16.

I'll be danged, never noticed it in last gen versions of the game. I was missing out I guess.

It was pretty tucked away.

If you turn on 30 team control in Single Season Mode, you can change every team's strategies.

In Be A GM, you can only change your team's strategies, since that mode is limited to 1 team control.

There's no way to change teams' strategies from the main menu or main roster screen, now that the "Build Your AI" feature from last gen is gone.
