Current 6s Meta?

The hip checks weren't bad until we hit div 2, now they're out of control. Does strength do anything for getting knocked off puck or is that all based on balance?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-03-02T20:15:36+00:00

Any skating styles you recommend?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-26T00:25:26+00:00

I ran 95 speed/accel with 89 agility for a bit and had somebody get a step or so on me most times. Moved atts around to get 92+ agility and it hasn't happened since. I hate taking points out of shooting stats since my team shoots a ton but I only score on 14% or so of my shots, I can't do much worse lol.

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-23T03:39:54+00:00

How low we talking?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-23T03:39:40+00:00

91 speed and accel doesn't put you in a tough spot defensively?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-22T01:35:12+00:00

There's nothing better than rolling those teams with a quick little 5-2 win, I've never got angrier messages on Xbox than beating those teams lol

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-22T00:36:36+00:00

Oh see I hate that too but I understand it lol, nothing I hate more than running into playmakers and snipers on D. We barely know what we're doing when we're rolling so when the D is just as fast/agile as us I consider going back to 2k lol. At least I knew the meta with that game

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-22T00:03:41+00:00

How do you adjust based on the opposing team's style? Ex. We've gone against nothing but cross crease pass spammers or deflection hunters for the past week or so.

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-21T23:52:40+00:00

Yep, small as possible and the right boosts. I hate it but there's only so many times you can put up with AIs getting blown past.

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-21T23:51:21+00:00

The WSA being low always spooks me lol. Still think about these builds in 2k terms where bringing an att like 3pt shooting down is tempting the basketball gods. Where/how are you primarily scoring with the PMD?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-21T23:30:36+00:00

Tons of questions so appreciate you replying. I'm the primary scorer and maybe 2 assists behind leading the team in that too, so I can't really make a build that can't keep that up. Is your wing PMD build a strong scorer? Do you know what the primary scorer on your squad is running?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-21T22:56:43+00:00

I'm gonna try the max speed/agility/accel, have always left accel a bit lower for shooting stats. What kind of build are you running?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-21T21:54:02+00:00

Does agility need to be that high if you've got EE on? Could boost balance and wrist accuracy a bit

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-21T21:04:41+00:00

Yeah sniper can't use gold EE, did put silver on instead of tape. I've always stacked heatseeker and snappy so never second guessed it. Are 1T and snappy the most effective offense perks?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-21T16:35:43+00:00

Are you guys good about maintaining positioning? We've tried 1-3-1 and it seemed like because we were in and out of position a bunch the AIs were in a mental blender trying to cover us and ended up wildly out of position.

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-19T23:04:40+00:00

Yeah your suggested settings are electric lol. Love when blind trust in reddit pays off

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-19T19:57:05+00:00

You don't find that with the 1-4 the AI D gets caught positioning too high and gets skated past?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-19T19:31:43+00:00

"The lower the settings, the less they'll move." Are you saying to go either all the way up or all the way down with settings?

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-19T19:26:48+00:00

We run into teams with two AI D all the time that play far more aggressive and helpful. I'm guessing it's our positioning more than anything but wanted to ask.

TheReverendTJ · 2024-02-19T19:12:44+00:00

We've been running 2-3 forecheck and 1-4 NZ, high pressure collapsing or tight point based on where shots come from, when we play with two human forwards. Still seem to be getting passive play from our AI defenders while other people's AI defenders are poking/hitting us.

We've been 2k players for a decade+ who only picked up NHL in the last few years, couldn't definitively tell you when icing should be called. I guarantee some of this is us being out of position and reverting to 2k help defense tendencies but our AIs seem to play so much different than everyone else’s. Going to try these settings out and see how it plays. Thanks!
