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

[mike24forever]

Shot total was high because of the 10 total penalties.

Also need to work on my passing. Terrible. As for CPU hitting, I have no is idea how to get that to increase.

I've read this entire thread...it's a mixed bag of responses. Maybe playing styles has something to do with it as well, something the game disc doesn't provide but human playing style does....

It doesn't offend me, its more just odd than anything else. Granted I do dump and chase alot and cycle to set up in the zone rather than shoot on the rush all game long which is of course going to draw more calls when you're grinding out shifts.

I didn't have too much of a problem with penalties pre patch, sure they were a little low before, now I'm actually considering bumping it down to 5.

thanks for showing this to us. would like to know if: is this "play now" or in your BaGM? how many minutes your playing per period..8.9...10? i never experienced this high.... the most i had is 6 pens per game in BaGM....4 by CPU and 2 by my AI teammates. the next high 4 pens... all of them were by CPU (0 for my team).

I play 10 minute games in my Be A GM on All-Star with penalties maxed and aggression at 5 and attributes maxed.

I'm playing "play now" games... I think I'm coming to the conclusion that EA has now given up on this aspect of the game too. I HATE doing my testing in BAGM, but I guess we must relent as the game does indeed play differently...feel like slider testing in this game is a total waste of time unless you want to piss away a BAGM to do so. But I appreciate the feedback as I see this may be the cause of my lack of penalties still.

Why not just create a "slider testing" Be A GM mode? A Be A GM that you use exclusively for test games using your sliders...

That`s pretty much what I do.BaGM or Season and BaP Goalie.

I`ve made some experimental rosters too.

Looks like no one here plays BAP? In BAP I always have enough penalties, with some more extreme slider settings before the patch. However my team's PP statistics are completely wrong because in BAP times on power play are not counted correctly (only the minutes are correct). Unfortunately the patch did not fix this.
