Call this a weird occurrence but in my last game against Minnesota, their goalie Backstrom, with none of my players near him as I was making a line change, actually fired the puck up ice out of his zone in an attempt to start a breakaway. The puck actually went past his own blue line. It was one of those things where I had to pause the game and replay it like 4 or 5 times to make sure it was what I saw.
There are also a lot more loose puck scrambles around the goals, leading to some hectic moments late in games. I've seen a lot of garbage goals in the handful of games I've played today.
CPU also seems to pass the puck to open ice a little more than before, and my CPU controlled teammates also seem to play better positional defense.
While there could still be more penalties called I do like what this new update has done for the game.

The two biggest differences I seem to see with Play Now is, a bit sloppier passing from the cpu, and more ints.
When it comes to sports video games, realism is what makes it more fun. the frustration factor kicks in when you can't get a simulation feel for the game. personally, i simply canNOT enjoy a sports game when the statistics are way off... but that's just me.
3 moree games 10 PP chances for me... I tell you, not sure why but I am getting PP chances now where as before the patch I wasn't... Out of those, 3 hooking, 3 charging, 3 roughing and 1 delay of game... went 2 for 10 on those attempts (granted I play penalty scale same as game speed)...
I took 3 penalties in those 3 games, 2 interefernce and 1 slashing...
Not playing with anyones slider settings but me own combinations....
I play on 10 minute periods, all star, 1.00 tuner, hardcore settings tweaked to my liking... (penalties maxed, puck control 0, puck reception ease 0, and a few other changes)
I am finally having fun with the game, thinking the key was not relying on someone elses slider combinations...
The only thing I have had issues with since the patch last night (one freeze in game) is that I cannot access custom music, freezes everytime now... Which sucks, because I am always updating to dittys I hear at arenas...
Bot giving EA a pat on the back yet, but quietly giving a low five because it seems as if the penalty issue has been corrected...

If this game was indeed much more realistic, like the puck being loose and the physics being more accurate, I think far less people would play the game. Hockey, is a difficult sport and generally sloppy. I think people would become too frustrated, if it played too much like the real thing.Heck I get frustrated with it playing the way it does now. I can't imagine how I would feel if my players were actually having pucks bounce around and or over their sticks; or having a player actually whiff on a wide open shot.

What's the difference between the 1.00 tuner and 1.02 tuner?
First game after this latest patch and its first time i have had more then 2 penalties. Me(Chicago) at Jets i lost 5-1. I was 0/3 on powerplays and the computer was 1/2 on powerplays. Only thing i changed was was post play to authentic. 10:00 play time on pro.

I've played 2 games with the new patch and had 3 and 4 PP in each game. Also had to kill 2 in each game.
is it just me or can i finally see CPU line changes so that i can match my lines?!
why i'm not sure is that can see the next line for the CPU not all the time, it seems when there is a goal/fight/penalty its not working....?!?!
little bit weird......

Usually when the tuners get altered, it screws a lot of things up, so I am assuming 1.00 is default (out of the box), which is why I chose that one to use in Be A Gm...
For all those concerned with the Jets helmets/gloves, that update actually occurs via a roster update, NOT via a tuner set.
Counterintuitive, I know, but true just the same. I've never stopped running Tuner V1.0 and the Jets have updated helmets/gloves.
Wish I could remember which EA roster update this fix was attached to, but I do not. I'd advise downloading all previous EA roster updates (all are present in the 'Download Rosters' screen). Also, to be safe, load each roster update after downloading it, just be sure the fix takes effect. Shouldn't take more than 20 mins when it's all said and done.
Not your cup o' tea? Head over to EA Forums and sift through all that bulls**t to find the post for Winnipeg Jets jerseys. There, you'll find exactly which roster update has the Jets fix affixed to it.

Finally, just to be clear, you do not have to run an old version of EA's rosters to see the fix. Rather, the fix takes effect once you download/load up the old roster update once. Like I said, I run Tuner V1.0, and I run a slightly modified version of mattg's tasty rosters, and have updated Jets gear.
Hope this helps, sorry for the length.

I believe if you use roster 6 or 7 the Jets stuff is fixed.
As for the patch, I really like it. I've only played 2 games on the 360, but have noticed more penalties, slapshots from the point miss the net more, and hitting seems to have been tweaked as when I hit the cpu, the puck actually separates from them.
As mentioned, way better rebounds too.

And I want to ask, what is so different with the Matt guys rosters from EA's version??? Just wondering if I need to load those for myself, though in Be A GM, with trades and signings, would only matter for the first week before trades start happening...
