NHL 15 Patch 1.03 Available Now, Details Included

[saintjimbo1885]

Played a few games and the hitting seems a bit over the top now. First game was the Flyers (CPU) against the Capitals on All-Star/Sim and the CPU was just going round the ice body checking everyone. Stats were all over the place as well, with me having way more possession and shots but ending up getting beat 3-2.

Here's hoping this isn't going to be the norm!!

Does it justify all those fixes? The previous patch had new gameplay modes and was smaller, is EA hiding us something?

That is what I am fearing. I don't know what they did to the hitting, but it is like crazy insane arcade blowup style now. No sliders for online, so we are stuck with whatever they did.

Game plays a bit better with this patch. Noticed the CPU froze in their zone when they were on the Power play, the puck handler kept skating in circles, until I moved up on him, then they broke out!!!

Ultimate Team actually got worse after the patch:

1) You can now only bid in 50-coin increments once a card is on your active bid list. "After the gun" bidding wars go on forever now. I saw a Phil Kessel bidding war that lasted 20 minutes after the auction had "ended."

2) It no longer saves your previous listing price for all unsold cards. The scrolling speed while listing higher-value cards remains incredibly slow.

3) Putting cards up for auction seems to randomly freeze the game at times.

The collection reward glitch is also still in the game. I completed Philadelphia tonight and didn't receive the reward packs, even though the game showed all "34/34" cards in my collection.

If I start a GM Mode right now, will the GM Draft from the next patch be incorporated into my existing season or will I have to start from scratch if I want to have live Draft?

Rammer said it would be implemented into the game. So play on it will be their.
