[ChuckWoods]

Here is a detailed breakdown of the tuners and what each setting consists of and where they are different.

- Fatigue Effects = 2/6
- Fatigue Recovery = 5/6
- Injury Occurrence = 2/6
- Puck Control (Human and CPU) = 2/6
- Player Acceleration (human and CPU) = 3/6

AI
- AI Learning = 6/6
- CPU Difficulty = 0/6
- CPU Adjustment = 3/6
- Human Strategy = 0/6
- CPU Faceoffs = 4/6
- Fight = 2/6
- CPU Penalties = 3/6
- CPU teammate penalties = 2/6

PASSING
- Pass Assist = 6/6
- Pass Speed = 1/6

- Pass Accuracy
- Human = 5/6
- CPU = 3/6
- Pass Reception
- Human = 6/6
- CPU = 4/6

SHOOTING
- Shooting Accuracy, Power, Slap Shoot Accuracy, One-time Accuracy all 3/6
- No exception

CHECKING

- Poke Check = 2/6

GOALIES

- Goalie Cover = 2/6
- Goalie Screen Effect = 4/6
- Goalie Reaction = 4/6

Normal:

GENERAL
- Broken Stick = 2/6
- Game Speed = 3/6
- Fatigue Effects = 5/6
- Fatigue Recovery = 3/6 (Human and CPU)
- Puck Control (Human and CPU) = 2/6
- Player Acceleration (human and CPU) = 3/6

AI
- AI Learning = 6/6
- CPU Difficulty = 0/6
- CPU Adjustment = 5/6
- Human Strategy = 0/6
- CPU Faceoffs = 4/6
- Fight = 3/6
- CPU Penalties = 3/6
- CPU teammate penalties = 2/6

PASSING
- Pass Assist = 4/6
- Pass Speed = 2/6
- Saucer Speed = 3/6
- Pass Accuracy, Reception, Interception all 3/6

SHOOTING
- Shooting Accuracy, Power, Slap Shoot Accuracy, One-time Accracy all 3/6
- Exception, CPU Slap Shot Power = 2/6

CHECKING
- Hitting Assistance = 3/6
- Aggression = 36
- Hitting Power = 2/6
- Stick Lift = 3/6
- Poke Check = 2/6

GOALIES
- Goalie Passing = 5/6
- Goalie Cover = 2/6
- Goalie Screen Effect = 3/6
- Goalie Reaction = 4/6

That indicates on Normal:

- Fatigue makes a huge difference
- AI learns play patterns quicker and adjusts as it is more intelligent
- Shot accuracy assist is the same... The difference you notice will be fatigue based.
- Hitting power is turned down.
- Goalies dont react as well to screens.


Overall Normal is very similar in most aspects, but it really stresses fatigue factor, an increased AI performance off the puck and overal hitting power is turned down.

It creates for a different gameplay as people can no longer spam the hustle button and take wristers all day from the slot as both are effected by fatigue.

Each mode has a certain style to succeed and not everyone is going to agree to one, to each their own really.

thanks for the break down. makes sense. im used to zipping around on online vs. with the Sharks on default so playing with slower players on normal has made it difficult to adjust. my GF avg in gmc is like 1.75

by hustle button do u mean skating fast? am i totally lost here or is there no hustle button with the new skating system???

 

[joestud]

Senators are online lookin for Boston, there my last game.

IMO Grabovski+Mackinnon for Lombardi+ is good.

Looking for higher quality

 

[Darcy Tucker]

just scored two goals directly helped by using the stick boost. thanks guys lol. i was wondering why my players looked like slugs.

 

[bshaw]

Calgary gunna be around?

 

[joestud]

Sens still on waiting for Boston.

 

[boltz88]

I'm on now joe

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

Stop using the hustle button! lol

Fatigue is greatly turned up on Normal Settings.

Pass Assist is turned down.

Checking Assist is also turned down.

That is about the only difference in terms of Normal Settings.

So run as many lines as you can. You HAVE to use your 3rd line to give your Top 6 a break, putting role players on your PK will help with your stars fatigue and reduce your hustle button and you'll start seeing a difference.

Having a deep team is huge. I have 4 solid lines and it helps a bunch.

And my secret to my success is not greasy rebound goals lol. Have you seen my goals against?

 

[boltz88]

O my 31 seconds left and he just dumps it in but it goes in anyways and wins in overtime.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

[Phion Keneuf]

Couldn't find avalanche again, as usual it seems.

Can't come on tonight so I have to sim 3 games.... Ouch, I can already feel the injuries.

Doubtful I think Sergei himself still has a couple games and I remember seeing someone ask for an extension actually... would be nice tho. But I'd expect a midnight-1am sim

 

[boltz88]

still needs i will stay on if someone responds in the next 10 minutes

I'm looking to move M. Weber (84), DFD, lefty, 1 year potential left, 93 clapper and 96 bodychecking, I'd like to move him for a younger prospect D or forward, or Weber + player/pick/prospect from my squad to upgrade a forward. Hit me up with any offers
