By my count, there have been 4 tuners?
- Original/Out of the Box
- Sept 28 - (Best of the bunch?)
- Sept 30
- Oct 19

Is that right?

I heard the second Tuner (what we call Patch)(we call the 1.00 and 1.01 the Tuner) was the better of them. We use 'out of box' which is better then the ones after the second.


Be nice to select like 1.00 or 1.01

Pretty pleased with my latest sliders but till can't start a season due to woeful rosters. I looked back to last year and EA released a roster update on November 13 and December 10. As of the December one a ton of AHL players and random guys went or were missing. Looks like I'm going to create my own possibly using the default original. I will just create all the missing guys myself. Lol at least my version Eichel will have a play by play name.

So I couldn't find a questions thread (stopped looking after page 3) and didn't want to start a new one so I'll ask here.

Can you play an Olympic style tournament with international teams with this game?

I see the foreign leagues in the play now menu but I can't find a way to set this up there or in the playoff menu.

Thanks.

You can find decent sliders but as far as balance goes it's very difficult because fixing one thing generally detracts from another area of the game. At the end of the day though it's almost moot since EA releases gameplay tuners that overwrite the old ones and they almost always require you going back to the drawing board with your sliders. Again EA decided we cannot choose from gameplay sliders like in the past.

Long story short NHL 16 can be very enjoyable but at the same time very frustrating. Many of the offline issues that plagued this game for years still exist. You can have some great games but more often than not something will happen that just ruins it for you and you realize how great this game could be with very little effort on their part. The overall consensus is that EA puts forth 95% of it's effort to the online community and cash cow HUT.
Thanks. I'm going to try and get it cheap.

I'm not one to complain usually. And really, this isn't a complaint. But it was wild. Just played a 6 on 6 game on EASHL. After 1 period we were up 6-0. Only one winger and one dman quit from the other team, which was great. Glad they stuck around to play.

That being said, all of a sudden, we were trying to pass and the puck was going in every direction except towards our target. When it did go towards our target, they couldn't receive it. Our passing percentage after the 1st was like 76 percent. After the second it was like 61.

We couldn't pick up loose pucks. Every, EVERY, poke or blocked shot went right their guys. Bottom line, we lost, 8-6. We hit 6 posts in the 2nd and 3rd combined. It wasn't even frustrating. It was quite funny, try to pass up the boards, only to have the pass go to the middle, right on the stick of the other team.

End of game passing percentage was like 58 percent for us. It was bad. We were still playing positional hockey. Nothing we could do. Couldn't pick up loose pucks. Couldn't intercept passes. Couldn't make a pass. Couldn't get a shot through. It was wild.

I just played a game where the puck went right through my goalies pads.. his pads were on the ice and the puck just went right through them. I watched the replay 5x and it's like his pads are invisible.

I think I'm done with this game. I need a break.

I hope next year they add either customizing mask or give 3 to 5 mask options per team. Just give us something, please.
