Any word on if we'll have to restart the season once the Draft Patch is implemented?

No you won't per Rammer on twitter awhile back.

What does it exactly mean by crowd distribution and crowd model outfits? I have an idea that maybe but I want to be certain. I wish there was a way to see before and afters

Will anything be done to fix the awful crowds at the end of games?

Heck, the demo had them on their feet when the final horn sounded. It is flat out awful now, with the horn decreasing in sound, too.

They pride themselves on presentation, yet this looks brutal.

Re: 2nd patch for Nhl15 released

I guess you think this is bad, am I wrong?

I take AI changes any day over modes, presentation etc.

No I was just giving information what's in the patch. Too bad custom camera is missing from nhl15, shouldn't be too hard to bring it back?

Still no goal total for season after scoring?

Re: 2nd patch for Nhl15 released

Some of the stuff on the list is odd that it was prioritized over some other things

I actually have an answer to this. lol.

Game devs are divided up into teams. And they specialize in each section of the game. So say people that work on the presentation won't work on hockey puck physics and collisions. And on top of that some bugs are harder to fix than others and fixing one bug (passing perhaps) could have a huge ripple effect and completely disrupt gameplay. Other fixes could just be as simple as editing a database number, but sometimes a bug may be hard coded in and require extensive manpower and hours to correct.

I was hoping they patched this in too....

Oh no I hope this was just a bad game but my first game in BeaGM after the update was a total mess. I dominated time of possession and shots but was destroyed on face offs and lost 3-2 despite only giving up 11 shots on goal. Pre update my games were great and all the stats were fairly even....I hope this is not a sign of things to come

Listen to the PA announcer carefully, he says what # goal it was on the season in his announcement. It's not the same as seeing it, but it's something.

They really need to fix the crowd for Hurricanes games. Half the crowd is wearing green Hartford Whalers jerseys. it sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm pretty sure no one in Carolina is going to be wearing a Whalers jersey.

Re: NHL 15 Patch 1.03 Available Now, Details Included

Also, I wish they wouldn't waste my bandwidth on crowd fixes. I'm not looking for the crowd.

So no patch on the 360/PS3? I wouldn't mind, except EA priced that generation the same, so shouldn't they be supported the same?

Better AI?

Let's head to the tape.

And yes, that was the game winner

Re: NHL 15 Patch 1.03 Available Now, Details Included

Looks like puck changes direction from Jagr's stick so that rebound is understandable? It's a weak goal but could be just bad luck...

[SVCbearcat10]

^Goalie should have covered that. It was a bouncing puck so you can't fault the AI for not handling it.

On a related, but unrelated note... I don't want perfect AI because that means every defender is elite. People are always out of place and doing stupid stuff in the real NHL. But when it happens in the game, it sucks and unrealistic.
