Good day, indeed!

I did start a new regular season after the download, and discovered the original rosters. I had downloaded the new ones last week, but had to do so again. Strange.

Thanks for the heads, I'm off to download and play now. So much for getting in a game of Madden this morning. I've been waiting for this since September!

Any word if it fixes Be A GM mode? I.E. star players in the AHL, or your franchise losing control of CHL prospects after year one? If this patch only fixes gameplay issues, it's pretty worthless as the meat and potatoes mode is still unplayable.

The Star players in the AHL I guess was fixed in the latest Roster update. As far as the other stuff, no idea.

Puck feels looser.
CPU didn't pressure me much with my original pre-patch sliders so I upped their difficulty to 3 and it made a big difference. I made a few mistakes which eventually cost me the game, but it didn't feel "fake". I made a few bad passes, the CPU gained control and eventually got me chasing the puck and left a man open in front.
CPU seems to cycle a little more with the new patch and the difficulty upped a few notches.
SOG, TOP, and penalty minutes are pretty equal now.
Me likes.

Is the Auto Backwards Skate fixed? I would check myself, but I have to wait until I replace my controller, which my son destroyed.

You can definitely feel the difference without trying super hard to recognize it. The movements (momentum, maybe) of the players seemed different, for the better. Coincidence or not, but two of my goals went off my opponent's body. One was a cross crease pass, off a D man, who then kicked it off a teammate past the goalie. The other hit post then crossbar then bounced for a second then a D man ran into it past the goalie. lol

I haven't tested if it fixes BAGM, but since that's what it's supposed to do, I assume it would work. Hopefully it doesn't create other problems...
