This is odd.. only one game post patch.. but there was only ONE penalty and that was me initiating a fight. Pre-patch I had no issues with penalties, the game I played was fun post patch.. but it made me worry as there were no minor penalties.

I've only played a few experimental games so far with 1.04....but digging it so far. The ice seems a little more level now. Actually winning some races to the puck Along with some wins with board play...rather than just bouncing off. Seeing what seems like more loose puck situations in all three zones. Thumbs up so far.

This game is playing really good hockey right now in my opinion. Really having fun with it.

EA, good work on this involved patch. Lots of good. Good stuff.

I saw some back checking by the AI behind the net. Didn't feel all that different.. but it's only one game.

I just hope the no minor penalties was only a fluke. I have all the penalty sliders on max and aggression max.

I've played a couple games so far.. I do notice shots are lower. I used to average 20-40 per team but 2 games so far, highest was 25-19 for cpu, 2nd game 22-21 cpu again, both 6 mins period. A lot more loose pucks. Enjoying it so far.

As for penalties.. on all stars I got 3 against me, one for myself. 2nd game on pro, 3 or 4 for me and 1 from cpu plus a fight (i asked for it by shooting after whistle)

Time to learn goalie controls.
Totally surprised that shoot outs online are now human goalie controlled like last gen

just played one game and I must say I'm impresses. I felt like my team was actually in the right spots helping me out. will play a few more games toconfirm.

Very happy with the gameplay adjustments. Playing All-Star/Hardcore with no slider adjustments. Seeing more missed passes from me and the CPU. CPU does indeed play the body more, which will cause you to change some tactics in how you maneuver around the ice.

Saw 3 shots deflect off goalies or sticks and out of play. That was really cool.

Penalties are there, too. Still will have games where you see none or 1-2, but I've learned to live with that now.
