NHL 12 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[mkharsh33]

question to you guys who ARE seeing more penalties:

what is your SPEED setting at??

I have mine set a bit faster as I HATED seeing guys skate like they were in cement...

I'm wondering if the SLOWER speeds are creating more penalties because of the slower pace? I don't know...just spitballing this, but it seems to make a bit more sense to me (since I'm not seeing hardly any change). thanks...

Not a speed thing.... I play with low speed and higher accel and cannot get any penalties with the update....now my game freezes more than ever and if I uninstall the update as I have done in the past, and had good penalties......now I dont. I swear this was more like a "Virus" than a "Patch" for me

It seems like the penalties come in waves. I played 5-6 games post patch and saw around 6-8 combined penalties in each game, but in the last 3-4 games I have played there have only been 3 or so combined penalties per game

Pro = higher game speed

All-Star = lower game speed

For penalty reasons

I agree with this... Pro I was just scoring to much (and didn't draw many penalties at a slower speed), even though shot acc and power was at 0 so I changed to all star and the games are more in line with NHL scores and the PP chances are pretty consistent...
