So I do have 1.04, if I were to go online now and am told there is a new tuner to d/l and i accept will I no longer have 1.04, does it get deleted? I don't want to lose it!

Better to try downloading with another profile to see what version is available. I'm not going to download with my main profile.

I only had time to play one game. Rangers (me) Toronto (cpu) saw a difference I took 6 penalties cpu took 2. I lost 3-1 good game but I felt the cpu was not as aggressive. I out hit them badly which was never the case. Felt the goalies gave up to many soft bouncy puck goals. That being said Redshirt did say in the other thread that this was not a completed version and more of a test. He wanted feed back from us so they could fix it. perhaps we should be posting our results and feedback in the thread he started and we can do it without saying stuff like this tuner sucks and what not. Its clearly a test version and Thank God they are working on it and our constructive feedback will help them.

strange! there is no tuner update to download for me, before i always got informed that a new tuner set is available via through that box in the lower right corner of the "home screen" where they also annouce that ew "moments" are ready for download.

Ok i'm clueless with this stuff. Can i somehow save my profile that has 1.04 to use offline and then go online and d/l any new one that might be available? I tried making an offline profile but it only showed 1.00 for tuner.

If you already had 1.03 then you are completely up to date. I had no new tuner box either this morning so deleted my settings. You'll get the tuner box on a restart after doing that but it will only take you back to 1.03 again. 1.04 has definitely been shelved for just now.

Well im not sure does different profiles have separate tuners or patches. I just play without connecting to internet.

# 88 jake19ny @ 09/28/12 11:11 AM

Checked out the EA forums and EA Noun posted a message about it. Turns out the tuner was causing massive online issues so it was taking down while they work out the bugs.......hopefully it will be fixed and up soon. Once again us offliners play second fiddle to the online gamers lol....no it sounds like it was causing real crashing problems... perfectly understandable that they took it down. Funny Redshirt mentioned how it is tricky to fix these things without causing issues elswhere.

I was reading about how to save your profile to a usb stick, I guess that is an option.

# 90 Taku @ 09/28/12 11:16 AM

And still i wonder why there is no separate tuner for offline play.

Only things I would like to see tuned or patched are: - Tune down goalies anticipation / lateral movements speed / number of desperate saves. Great passing plays are more difficult to make this year because of better defense, which is a good thing, but when we are able to make them, it should be pretty high percentage shots. Right now, when on a 2-on-1, it's pretty useless and irrelevant to try for a pass, because even if we beat the defenseman with the pass, which is not easy to do, the goalie will stop it almost every time. Every goalie in the game has superhuman anticipation and lateral movements this year and they also make a lot of desperate saves. These kinds of saves are pretty rare in real life and that explains the wow factor surrounding them, but in NHL 13, they happen every game, multiple times. This also can't be tuned with the goalie reaction speed slider, because the goalie will let in weak goals while still be great on passing plays and making desperate saves. - Make CPU players use their sticks more and actually poke check the puck, what they almost never do right now. - Correct some hits and hip checks where players can do a 360 in the air or go directly in the stands or pass through the board.

Dude, you're spot on. Especially with your first point.

This!
How it should've been run since they introduced tuners in the first place.
Offline and online is simply separate worlds.

Maybe they think there would be to much confusion with separate tuners for online and offline. The way the kids on easports.com carry on, lol.

# 94 Taku @ 09/28/12 11:46 AM

Yeah, playing hockeygames was easier back in 1988.

Player's language was similar though.

I have xbox live but i was doing an offline gm. I dl'd the tuner. Will mine be gone too? I was having a blast lastnight. I didnt notice penalties because my hockey iq is a -2, but all the PP's last night in my games were great. A lot of clearing from both sides, and hearing the announcers talk about how i cant capitalize on mistakes. CPU seemed to play different too. A lot more interaction? Kind of broad. Hard to explain :0

i bet you're far smarter than some of the developers of tuners @ EA

i'll remove my internet connection for 360 for awhile.... so far i like what i saw in 1.04.

and yes.... online game is the priority of EA over offline gamers. i guess EA earn extra $$$ from them. i dont give a damn as long as EA address the glaring issues in offline..im satisfied.

I wish wrist shot accuracy would be little lower, right now it's possible to snipe top corners quite often with accuracy slider 0...

i agree.
so far i think the only sliders that work are the shot speed sliders.
The others you cant really tell the difference.
