NHL 23 Sliders for Pro Difficulty

Published on

With our NHL 23 review, our criticisms were not really with the gameplay. We actually think that’s where the most improvement was this cycle, and with that in mind, we want to showcase some sliders out there that might help you tune the experience to your liking. This set comes from OS user mkharsh33 and are for Pro difficulty. If you want to level a complaint at the NHL series, these are his NHL 22 sliders with some tweaks to them for ’23. In other words, the game is “similar” enough that a lot of the values still work for this year’s game (at least so far). That said, if you don’t want to upgrade to NHL 23, these are useful as well.

Regardless, these Pro sliders are for those who are stuck between All-Star and Pro or don’t mind putting a couple “house rules” in place for yourself on a slightly lower difficulty while getting an overall better experience.
