Box score stats and and real game action photo updates throughout the thread ! Play the game the way it was programmed to play on near default
I use the V 1.00 tuner, very important to use that !!!
Hello I tried many different sliders and I really think this game tilted ice and all is very similar to mlb the show programming wise and it needs to be played on near default sliders or it screws up the AI and programming kinda like when people gut the sliders and then complain there's no penalties .
I mean most sliders only have 6 clicks so you take shooting down from 3 default to 1 or 0 and they complain cpu doesnt shoot enough or bad shot stats EA lol jeez 2 clicks are a third of the scale guys what do you think is gonna happen .
But I found when you leave them near default me and the cpu get 3 to 4 Powerplays a game and all different types of penalties too on just 8 minute periods!
Now normally I wouldn't play this game on default but I think EA NHL did alot of great things under the hood this year with AI and strategies and eliminating the cpu boost when they need a goal so I hope you enjoy how I think this Hockey Video game was made to be played .
Constructive feedback will always be appreciated towards this Incredible game of NHL Hockey because NHL 15 " WILL OWN YOUR SOUL " and Yes " Its in the Game " .

KEY SLIDERS IN RED
And I will always be updating the sliders as I learn more about what makes this game tick and you cant hope to control the tilted Ice factor but only flow with it .
Quick Settings
Camera Classic , or use similar view to see whole Ice.
Controls Hybrid (buttons) or your choice but only tested on Hybrid !
Difficulty All-Star
Game Style Hardcore (Custom)
Period Length 8 minutes but you get alot of bang for your $$$ and usually 3 to 4 PP per game cpu also .
Shootout Dynamic Medium or your choice
