NHL 16 Patch 1.04 Available Now For Xbox One & PS4, Full Details Included

Really enjoyed my 1st post patch game, the color of the line changes really didn't work with the selection color before but now it looks great. I can clearly tell how fatigued each line is even when I have that line selected.

Great tip. I'll check that out today.

That contradicts what the Ea dev said on the NHL forum. You need to restart a GM to get new art updates .

What happened Be A Pro after this update?? All slap shot coming to goal (AI) and AI doing 20 shorthanded goals for seven games ?!

Yep, the Avs new 3rd jersey is in my existing Be A GM after downloading the latest roster update. The old alternates are still listed first, but scroll past them and you'll see the new 3rd jersey.

Your right its been that way fro years and all the patching and tuners fix a few issues but cant fix the core problems. The only way now would be to rebuild it from scratch and that's where the blame goes upstairs because I don't think they will give the resources or funding to do so. Sure the Devs created this AI but its upper management that insists it be kept on life support instead of pulling the plug and starting over. As far as everyone not buying the game, I believe that if sales failed miserably it would not force them to create a better game but rather then pull the plug on the series like EAs MLB series did and NBA for a while. No guarantees someone else steps in and makes a game so it becomes a personal choice for all to have this flawed NHL or none at all. Stinks but it is what it is.

From what I've seen on various forums over the past few years, each year the team has won over a few more converts to their gameplay. From "this sucks" to "a big improvement" to "the gameplay is great, but..." each year each iteration wins over a few more people. It seems like EA is content with making small gameplay upgrades (because that's what puck pickups are) rather than overhauling the AI. [Note: gameplay and AI are two different things, AI is CPU players' mindset while gameplay is overall gameplay.] It's still rough for the fans who aren't won over.
