Nope, no problems here with custom music. Sounds more like your NHL settings got deleted/corrupted or something. Where did you access your custom music? I mean from inside Be a Pro, Be a GM or from the main menu? Since it seems settings set from the main menu mostly carry over to other game modes but not vice versa.

Yay for diving poke check nerf!

I can see where diving would have been a problem for offline,....with players with 99 speed,agility,etc,etc....

Offline,I don`t see it being a problem,....especially when the game is tuned to play hockey.

Yeah, it is easy to start imagining things. Especially after just playing a game or two with a new tuner.

Played my first game with 1.02, and it really seemed like they lowed the cpu's pass accuracy. But in game two...the cpu was back tape to tape passing again. Yep...kinda got fooled there a bit.

I haven't played in a little while, been distracted with PES and the Forza demo. My friend says I missed a tuner from a few days ago and I had a patch along with this tuner (not sure if the patch did anything to gameplay).

My observations may be the combination of tuners and a patch, but here's what I am seeing with 1.02. I play on allstar with default sliders:

-CPU pass accuracy definitely seems down a bit. Not drastic, but they can't make that magic trap busting zip zip zip pass as easily. Putting up a trap feels more effective now and pass interceptions seem to happen more often.

-CPU puck control seems down a tad. Before it was really hard to take the puck away from the CPU without using the crazy hip check, but now the poke check seems a little effective.

-They definitely did something to the hip check. I tried it once or twice and don't even know how to explain what it did (or didn't do). I just stopped using it and went back to "normal" hitting and hockey like before anyway.

So the tweaks to the diving poke check are pretty good. The animation no longer carries your player ridiculously far, and you no longer go into a high-speed "super slide" while diving.

Good tuner!
