NHL 14 Patch v1.01 Details, Available Now - Post Your Impressions

[grizzblue]

Can someone answer this.

Do you need to start a new bagm offline to get the effects of the patch to progression? I know for vcertoan the other patch features were added into my pre existing bagm and was under the impression the progression tuning was no different and applied too. Is that the case?

NHL 14 is at the bottom of the sports gaming barrel when it comes to the single player experience.

Well that is all I need to know. Sticking with 13 till next gen.

It's official for me. Im done. This has to be the most frustrating nhl game ever. And i've been playing since '94. As an offline only player, the things the cpu is allowed to do is ridiculous. The slider system is horribly created. Most of them don't work. I've never seen a dumped puck bounce over the glass in my life. Every cpu controlled team plays the same. The gameplay is too predictable. I get pissed at the fact that this is the only current hockey game available.

NHL 9, NHL 11, NHL 13......all super solid hockey games man. Some people swear by 10 and 12 as well.


The series IMO has been fairly solid this gen. At least for my taste.
