NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Seriously before I start to lose my mind...is anyone seeing anything besides tripping? After the first tuner fixed things, I was seeing a variety of things called....now it's just tripping....really ruins the game for me....only other thing I've seen called is maybe hooking....before these last couple of tuners, I saw slashing, high sticking, goalie interference, the goalie taking delay of game penalties, I even saw double minors, game misconducts and majors...and I might be wrong, but even a fight instigator penalty....now it's nothing but tripping....i bought a digital copy, can I uninstall it and just never go online to avoid getting the tuners?

That's the only penalty I see. The others have been non-existant.

I really hope they iron out the penalty situation. It was always frustrating that the only penalties I used to get (in NHL14 at least) were either tripping, or a bad boarding call despite hitting the guy from the side (got way too many 5 minute majors on what would have been a clean hit...).

That said, I would also be thrilled to find out that they got rid of the AI randomly hitting guys that they skated into. I remember when playing NHL14 I would lose my mind when I got send on the PK just because Berglund was skating through neutral ice and got close to a guy without the puck that he suddenly checked to the ground for no reason, getting me an interference call. Or defenders just murdering my players in front of the net with no penalty call.

Computer hooked me twice in the video I posted above, and 3 times in another game I played later. And if it hooks, it will definitely slash too - they're triggered by the same move.

I haven't seen penalties from its body checking lately, though.

Sorry if posted earlier/elsewhere:
Could we pass along a rec to have tuner updates downloaded automatically, handled like rosters (should users with to revert)? At minimum get a notification prompt on nabbing 'em online?

Me too... why can't we have the option to pick which tuner we want? Seems like a simple solution to me!!!

I just played a game against the Sharks, me as the Rangers.


Sharks took 5 penalties
1 Charging
2 Tripping
2 Hooking


Rangers took 2 penalties
2 Hooking


I'm enjoying the game again but still enjoyed the game a bit more pre Sept 28/30 Tuner. I saw more variety of penalties in that version and I feel like the stoppage of plays were better. I'm no longer seeing the CPU go offside, Ice the puck, or have the puck leave the rink nearly enough now.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Come to mention it, in the 3 games I played today, I don't remember the computer ever dumping the puck in the zone once...what a joke this tuner bs is.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Just watched the cpu play each other and the cpu will now try to deke through three players instead of dumping the puck into the zone....I def noticed the cpu did it before these tuners because I remarked to my brother it was nice to see the cpu actually use some real strategies like dump and chase....this game is driving me crazy right now.

I don't like what they did with the tuner revision. AI was much better, and now it's just buffoonery out there.

Actually had it happen to me without going into an online game

I agree 100%. When I first played it after they removed the Tripping festival I thought it was good, but after a handful of games I'm realizing there is so much now missing. In fact someone else mentioned it and I agree. It now feels and plays just like NHL15. The game was near perfect before the September 28/30 tuner and I find it odd that all the things done in that tuner were not things I had seen people complaining about. Before that tuner NHL16 was well on its way to being the game we all wanted. Not perfect but many things were noticeable that were not in previous releases, like but not limited to....
Slightly Better Board Play
Slightly Better CPU defense
Slightly Better (Not Perfect) CPU teammate defense and AI
CPU Dump and chase
CPU offsides
CPU Icing puck
Pucks out of play
All these things are gone, Goalies are worse, and the overall feel of the game took a step backward. Very disappointed

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Just played another full game and numerous times I swarmed the cpu at the blue line trying to get them to dump it and all they did was skate away and then pass it to another teammate and then that teammate would skate away repeat over and over again until I finally took the puck away....its a shame what this tuner has done to the game...absolute disgrace, they might as well have just sold us NHL hitz the way the cpu has no strategy anymore

Try my sliders out. CPU dumps and chases on me with the up to date tuner.

Re: September 29th Tuner Thread

Why do I have to subscribe to PS plus to get the tuners when I didn't have to in the past? Thanks

Is this true, because i don't have PS plus either? Unfortunately we cannot verify which tuner we have since they overwrite them anyway.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

I was prompted now to download the latest tuner without going into an online game
