NHL 25 Sliders From AlTito

AlTito is a trusted community member on OS who has been knocking out NHL sliders for years. He’s back once again working on a set of sliders for NHL 25.

This year, I’m still fresh in my own playing of NHL 25, but I’m liking it more than in the past so far. The pace feels slowed down a bit, and the movement of players feels more decisive if that makes sense. The AI seems to have more of a plan, so every stride you take feels a little more impactful and important.

That being said, with a new game the sliders are going to change a little more often, and AlTito has already made multiple changes in the past week. So I would say to keep an eye on his thread as he continues to tweak things.

NHL 25 Sliders (For Superstar Or All-Star)

nhl 25

Below are the sliders I use right now in NHL 25. They are a work in progress, so many changes are expected in the next few weeks.

I have to say that I like the default gameplay better this year. For example, EA lowered Acceleration from 65 to 42 and Skating Speed from 50 to 36. It helped slowing down the default game pace, something I loved. It’s important to note that since each game is different, I start from default values and adjust from them every year.

As always, I’m trying to provide a gameplay with a good mix of fun and realism. That being said, don’t be afraid to adjust things to your liking or needs, as these sliders are there as a base.
