I just tried the *next* (meaning this weekends upcoming release) PRO STAR in the post-update & newest 1.04 tuner environment. It seemed to work flawlessly. So we're still on schedule for this weekend.

I just read the new 1.04 tuner notes & it makes sense. The key changes were back-skating speed & AI penalties. Unfortunately, they still haven't fixed the slashing from behind issue. But overall, a decent update.

What's coming up?
- Those of you who didn't like passing accuracy at 0 will be happy. I found a great formula that gives us passing realism without the random wayward passes the 0 value produces.
- The goalie sliders are moved from FULL SIM to new custom settings, so those of you who want more rebound & screening goal opportunities should see improvement.
- Implementing some increased Attribute Effects, which has a big effect on All Star gameplay & CPU strategic setups (will explain later).
- Pro difficulty players should be able to play All-Star difficulty now. Without the artificial perfection & repetitive plays you'd see by default.

It's going to be a pretty significant update! Using the next few days to test over some games. Then Sunday you guys can get the upgrade too!

Interested to see where you go with the changes, Jay. Played a few games with these and I like the overall feel. I think loosening up the goalies a touch to get some more net play would be a great addition.

I'll admit I'm starting to experiment with some changes, mainly with the skating, to make play on the rush more dynamic. EA's full sim tuning feels a little flat to me. I like to see the ability to catch a defender flat-footed on a turnover or beaten outside with speed.

I am not..I want to feel and play realistic game and 10 minute period to me are a must with this set. Thing is you can't get hung up on every stat. We all have to remember we are playing a video game in the end. Other than shots on goal being high in all my games....everything else is on point and feels great.

I am not hung up on stats. Was just pointing out my game had none at 6min for everyone to know. I will definitely try 10 min.

The goalies are definitely "loosened" in the next update. It'll be more fun, because after making the initial save...there will be occasional rebounds that you can capitalize on if you traffic the net.

I also agree with you on speed. I felt in the older release of mine, the CPU defense could easily jump ahead of your breaking out player & overpower him. Then there were some problems with close-range passing that could ruin 2-on-1 breakaways. Both problems are solved now, and you'll get that "dynamic" speed without the "unreal arcade" feel.

I actually solved the passing problem 5 minutes ago. So one more test game, and I'm thinking tomorrow morning I'll post the new PRO STAR before leaving home.

@Hunkerdown, when I release the new sliders tomorrow, I'd like you to test them in 6 minute periods. I don't play that way, and it'd be nice to get feedback from someone who plays in that mode. I think the new goalie, passing, and rebound improvements should help you in 6 minute mode.

So this update is for the new patch and tuner 1.04 correct?

[Qb]

Cool, looking forward to it. I had a few of those frustrating passing moments for sure.

In my last game, I ended with backskating @ 0, puck carrier skating @ 95, accel @ 47, and skating speed @ 65 (IIRC). Somewhat surprisingly, it wasn't as wide open as you might think. I slightly raised stumble threshold and incidental contact, so defenders could use body position to slow down an attacking player with momentum. In 3v3 OT, there were a few breakaways and odd-mans, as there should be. Intriguing results, but I want to play through full games to see how it holds up.

Yes. Compatible with game patch 1.55 & tuner 1.04:

As I said earlier, none of the changes EA made conflicted with the next PRO STAR changes.

I 100% agree in changing up all the areas you’ve been working l on. This set has been a blast so far and I can’t wait too see what you’ve come up with.

I’m not getting many goals and I’m hoping the passing creates better opportunities instead of just shots.

I’ll have one game that’s a goal fest and the rest will be 2-1 3-1.

Anyways you’ve crushed everything else so here’s hoping😝
