There should be online and offline tuners, or at least the option to PICK which one you use. Sliders should go from 0-100, not 0-6. NBA 2k has sliders that go from 0-100 and guess what, they actually work. People don't complain about not being able to tweak the offline game enough. I've played 2k in the past with some ultra-realistic settings and it was a blast! I just wish I could have the same experience in a hockey game as it's my favorite sport.

I've been trying to hold it all it for awhile now but it's just the same old thing, year after year. Why can't we just have tuners that don't break the game and sliders that actually work?


^This


If EA simply just did the above they wouldn't have to waste time and resources making tuners. It appears that after they release the game they listen to whichever group screams the loudest and the most and makes a tuner. The tuner screws something else up and then that group screams loud and the most so they attempt a tuner to fix that....then the next group of unhappy campers chime in...so on and so on.


EA you cannot please every type of gamer out there so stop trying, you put fourth a great effort and good game this year and then ruined it by trying to appease random groups of complainers with tuners. I was one of those random groups of complainers when it came to penalties. That's why this idea above makes the most sense. No tuners except to fix bugs and glitches but as far as gameplay goes just revamp the entire slider system and leave it to the gamer to find his sweet spot. When it comes to offline, if I want to max a penalty slider and have 30 PPs a game that's my business....If I want to lower the penalty slider and spam the poke check button and trip everybody on the ice including the ref, that's my business. If I want to up scoring accuracy and score 30 goals a game, that's my business.....you get the picture. Make a great game with the base settings for Rookie, Pro, All-Star, and Superstar include a revamped and better slider system and let the guy who shelled out $70 for it decide what type of game he wants to play.


I never played the NBA2k series but MLB the Show has nailed the slider system as well. In a million years I thought I could never get a baseball game to play like the real MLB but I have with that game the past few years. I just wish I loved baseball as much as I do hockey....

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

So I still have the 9/28 tuner. I never go into HUT or online. I simply load my offline BeAGm. (unless I should DL a tuner)

So.....stay away from those modes and I will not be promted to DL another tuner correct?

I just deleted my entire file and started from scratch, game is playing way better now but still not as good as it was after that one tuner where myself and a lot of people were happy.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Just played a couple of games....no tuner, , cpu took a variety of penalties...boarding, interference, charging, holding, tripping, high sticking and slashing....they've even dumped it in at times, and used the boards for some passing plays and cycled....id like them to dump it in more and draw more pps cuz those penalties were over a bunch of games but I'll deal with it for now, if they just get a good tuner out to correct the nonsense they did, this game has such potential.

But just for testing, play with these and you will see, missed CPU passes, CPU Offside, CPU dumped the puck in, a lot of pucks goes out into the stands, deflected pucks, smooth skating, broken sticks from blocking shots, injured players from blocking shots and cheks, double minor penalties, and so on.... I still can't believe iam seeing/playing this on Default Pro Sliders!
Holy sh... It says the game speed is on 3 default, I can't play on 3 normally ( use 0 or 1) but now all on Default is great now.
The lack of penalties is still there but I changed the Slider to max ( CPU Pen Slider too!) and I saw 2 penalties in 1 game.

please try it out yourself!

So strange! Testing still continue...
THANKS CC...keep us updated.

For clarification, so you download the latest but you're playing on Default, Pro and only penalty sliders tweaks?

Canuck, don't download anything....just delete the profile and start the game over from scratch, you'll have to do your settings and stuff but it's worth it for now,...Xbox one you gotta delete everything but it's def worth it for now too.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Anyone remember a couple of years ago when one of the devs said something about certain changes only being implemented in the Hardcore game style? Since tweaking sliders changes it to custom, maybe that's what's going on here. Maybe the game does play well on default Hardcore.
