According to quite a few users, the third jerseys don't appear to be in the game, but they are listed in the update.

You can view the entire list of fixes and additions below. Let us know what you are seeing.

Quote:


	Online Team Play Play online with up to ten players, locked to a single position using real-world rosters. These matches will be 5v5 ranked with AI controlled goalies. Be a GM - Rookie Draft For the first time in the NHL franchise, you will be put on the clock and feel the pressure like a real NHL GM. As they do at the NHL Entry Draft, you have three minutes to make a draft pick. If the pressure is too much, you can also call timeouts to extend the amount of time you have to make a draft pick or potentially negotiate a trade. You can make trades at any time during the draft. The CPU will also propose trades to each other and the user throughout the course of the draft.

It seems to seperate the stars from the grinders. At full charge, passing is still far too slow. The puck has no zip. Overall, Im very happy. This has a much better feel to it.

Yeah.. that's my biggest beef right now, if I hold the trigger for a long, hard pass, it's still slow as can be. It works on last gen, so it must be a bugaboo.

Good find! Now can they actually add that into the game graphic?

If you're skating right at them trying to cross the blue line they will lay you out, I try to do the same to them.. I think the hitting is spot on. Use your dekes.

There are some occasions when I should get hit and do.

Too often they can send me to the ice without regard for momentum or physics.

Exactly or be on you kinda like real hockey ? or at least video game hockey correct ?
Hitting and Physics are amazing again after this last update but also realistic as I been trying to blast guys with Kaner and mostly just bumps so in this case attributes and size matter again

So I was fired up about actually starting a BeAGM. I made all of the prospects I needed for the Rangers and imported them onto the Wolfpack. Go to start a GM and they do not import in? Why? Is there a workaround? This sucks. P.S. they need to bring back fantasy draft too.

I'm not saying your wrong here.. but I'm not seeing it. Hitting by the CPU makes sense to me.. maybe a "tad" over the top but NOTHING like it was pre 1.04.

# 108 MizzouRah @ 10/22/14 10:35 PM

Played my 2nd BeaGM game and I cannot stress enough at how organic this game is now. I really don't want to see any game changing patches or tuners. For me, this game is what I expected from current gen hockey.

A few of us had CPU aggression maxed out as it helped with penalties.

Ill play with it at 0 and hopefully reduces their hitting.

How do I install the patch? Or download it for that matter? I'm on Xbone and I wasn't prompted to download anything.

Check your console settings. You probably have it on download automatically. If you, you'll already have it.

I got the update, but my options for tuner are 1.01, or 1.00. Does this mean 1.01 is considered "latest?" I tried going online and HUT to DL the tuner but got nothing.

That might be it then.. I'm back to mainly AS/Hardcore defaults. I would expect to be knocked on my butt instead of being given a clear shot to the goal.

# 114 murph17 @ 10/23/14 10:12 AM

two other HUT notes, sorry if they were mentioned...

under team settings, you can now choose your goal horn.

and is it just me - or are HUT crowds now 100% random NHL jerseys, where before it was the two teams playing?

It cut down their ability to hit you, but completely nerfed your ability to either hit them ot pin them against the boards.

Me and the CPU are about even in hits each game. I'm able to pin in most situations as long as I hit the button as I'm making contact against the boards, I find if I hold the button early before contact, it works better in most cases.

After a 4 games with new tuner I have to say I hate it. There are a few things that stick out.
1) The hitting is jacked up.....again
2) I had good sliders before that limited my D from vacating the slot leaving a guy camped for an easy goal they now do it more than ever
3) The passes are either still spot on or way, way, way off and I have scored one goal in every game that was supposed to be a pass from the corner that was off the mark big time hits the goalies skate and into the net....lame
4) My CPU teammates now collide with other constantly...what the hell?
5) If I play back with a forward and take over puck control deep in my end one of my D men jump to center and take off up the ice like a forward. Also lame.

Add that to them not fixing scoreboard to include season totals, Not fixing the fact that you cannot pass a puck up the boards, etc etc etc....and this just another update that makes a bad game worse

Same here Default Allstar always ! and I played 7 more games in Playoff mode with real rosters and just started the second round and everything that was boosted is now gone with the new update and thats good to see as Playoff Mode can have some generated play on its own.

IMO because of the improved statistics Im getting the game actually plays better then on the day it released and physics are back baby !

I been testing the player physics alot with smaller guys and non checkers and most big hits are just bumps alot of the time with these guys and thats great to see even with figuring in tilted ice at the time and the angle of hit .

# 119 BL8001 @ 10/23/14 05:56 PM

Here is something I am not a fan of at all. The pass accuracy when you are facing the boards is silly.

Silly as in deadly accurate. I first noticed the cpu doing this to me and one timing it off the perfect tape to tape pass. Then I played online twice and both random people did this throughout the game.

It's stupid, plain and simple. Facing the boards your pass accuracy to someone behind you, halfway across the ice, should be imprecise.

Frankly, because it isn't and you are in no way rewarded for facing your passing target there is no reason to square up for passes at all. In fact this game would call you a fool for doing it.

As soon as I started passing the puck across ice while facing the boards my scoring rate went up. I guess it's because this phenomenal act of accuracy stuns the cpu defenders and goalie.

Rightly so. But
