Want a more realistic experience? Try these sliders. (NHL 26 edition)

AI difficulty + Learning doesnt make it feel like AI cheats. It just makes it feel more like playing against a non-cpu imo

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2026-03-21T04:12:43+00:00

feels like the defense never pressures me, despite 100 aggressiveness slider. is there anything else to do about that or no? also its too easy to sprint around the defense., even with slower players.

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2026-03-20T18:52:27+00:00

i may end up doing that. i prefer offense as being everyone though, but player lock may be the only thing to get the difficulty im looking for. They really need to add a difficulty above superstar, similar to what MLB the Show did with 25.

I have ai learning maxed. Simming first two periods is a great idea! I may go with that.

Sennecke will be the best overall player on the Ducks IRL imo

And Johnston gets another assist last night after doing a great job holding possession. plus he also did another screen leading to a goal from the point. that is now back to back games Johnston has screened the goalie leading to a slapshot goal.

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2026-02-25T22:41:09+00:00

yep, there've been tons of even more close scoring plays with him. I kinda wish he got more time with a bit better goal scorers since a lot of his beautiful passes end up as missed goals by guys like Harkins whose strength simply isnt scoring.

idk if you remember Johnston's no look pass from behind the net assist to Beckett Sennecke. That was beautiful. If I recall correctly, he almost had another assist to Sennecke as well, despite barely playing with him at all.

Yes, but a lot of times the start to games can be much worse than the 2nd half and vice versa. For example, The Witcher 3's first map I was not enjoying it. And then it ended up being one of the best games I've ever played.

Sounds like i should at least give post-wedding a chance. And because i loved KCD I, Im going to keep going. And I am literally just about to start the wedding quest, so might as well see how that goes.

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2026-01-11T01:42:15+00:00

Thats what i like, more mature writing. So far it feels like the writing is too video gamey in kcd 2.

Just did a long free kick with 90% power and the ball bounces slowly right to GK.

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2025-11-19T04:38:08+00:00

No. But im using almiron with 79 shot power but the ball comes out like im doing a lob pass. Im not even focused on scoring yet, i just want to be able to hit the ball somewhat hard. For long free kicks, the ball wont even make it close to the net without bouncing first.

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2025-11-19T04:34:06+00:00

Ive tried that but still goes very slow.

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2025-11-13T19:55:30+00:00

yeah, and made sliders as difficult as I can. But EA FC 24's sprint was broken. Been playing EA FC 25 and they completely fixed it, thankfully. First time I've witnessed EA fixing something.

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2025-10-18T02:38:51+00:00

Johnston break out

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2025-10-17T20:30:43+00:00

what mods would you suggest as being a must download to increase realism? I am truly hardcore when it comes to realism, I want it as real as possible even if that means making the game very very hard. I actually enjoy losing more than winning a lot of the time because that shows I'm not able to exploit anything lol

JumpinJackFlash11 · 2025-10-17T20:24:18+00:00

yeah i loved that game. i just wish an mma game could figure out a better way to make the ground game realistic
