AlTito's NHL 18 Sliders



Below are the sliders I use right now in NHL 18. As always, I tried to get a good mix of fun and realism, with a sloppy gameplay and a lot of loose pucks. I will be making tweaks while I continue playing and I will try to keep this post as updated as possible to reflect the changes I make. Latest updates will also be shown at the bottom of this post to make it easier to follow.



Like every year, according to your skill level, you can play on All-Star or Superstar difficulties. You should start with CPU Difficulty Adjustment at 0 and if it becomes too easy, you may increase it by a few clicks. You can play the game on 6 to 8 minutes periods, but I suggest you to play 8 minutes if you want to get more realistic stats.



And don't be afraid to adjust things to your liking or needs, these sliders are only there as a base. Have fun!



Note: I also suggest you to raise puck control for both Human and CPU before the beginning of a shootout.
