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

[Zuuuuc]

In HUT i believe that ea added a Default and a Generic goal horn option for your team, and removed the team's horn that belongs with your arena. I have MSG as my arena, but the Default and Generic horns are the Devils, when I assumed that Default would be the Rangers's. Does anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong? Also props to ea for fixing the horns, now they need to add the missing horns and songs

I bought the Bruins arena to test this, and when set to default, the correct bruins horn played. And, the boston bruins horn option was still availble. However, i cannot find the rangers horn still. Glitch?

I just played a few more games. 2 on default then went back to my sliders and played one. I seem to get one if two types of game. I get one that the CPU is very passive, no penalties, and the CPU dumps a lot instead of that skate back with the puck until they can enter garbage. The other type the CPU plays aggressive, I get penalties, but the CPU dumps less. I could live with latter. There is good in this update I can't put my finger on it but some things just feel better. I still believe that much like the sliders when EA tunes or updates this game by fixing one thing something else gets affected and often not in a positive way. When I said the Dev team was in over their heads I meant that they are trying to tune an AI that's fatally flawed. It's not their fault and I should have been more clear they are trying to help and work with what they have. Unless the powers that be allow them to rebuild the AI from scratch all they can do is try and tune this up the best they can and it's never, in it's current state be what it should be. If I can find away to eliminate that odd game where the CPU goes into passive mode I will be happy.

Im still downloading the update it says it will take 5 hours ? so Im hoping for many nice changes but Jake dont you think much of what your seeing when you say two different games depends on the Strategy ? you know depending on score or momentum whether their passive or aggressive ect ?

??? on default offline is anyone one seeing more organic gameplay ? real pucks physics and less robotic boost hockey ?

I only played those 4 games earlier but didn't see the robot boost super hockey. I did have a few times where I couldn't get out of my zone or defend well but that was because I had exhausted guys out there I couldn't get off the ice. That's realistic though and I like it. I will say this years game is the only one where you better make smart line changes and dump and change when needed or you will get burned and that's a good thing

Played a BeAGm game Senators at Panthers. My sliders on Pro. I did not change a thing.

Won in a shoot out 5-4.

I was down 4-1 in the third period and rallied like a mad man to tie the game and over came a 5-3 PP situation.

Game was marvelous.

I am good to go.

Not sure if Im out of my mind or its a placebo effect but I just played 2 games in where I did not fell cheated by the goals scored by cpu. The puck felt loose and took some great bounces, end over end rolling when poked.

I also feel now that when there is a loose puck my team has a shot at it where before this release, it always seemed like the cpu team was always in the right place at the right time or had more speed to move past my player and gain control of the puck...

The cpu still does not dump and chase when I hold my zone and they will skate around until there is a window for them to skate the puck in, on a rare occasion they dump after entering the zone...

Saw some great puck deflections on scoring attempts, this was there prior to the patch/tuner but now it seemed I dont know how to explain it but "more realistic" is the only way I can...

Game feels a lot less canned...I only wish there was real differentiation between the teams skill and game plans(Like PES series).

Which penalties are you seeing? The majority of the calls I see are still stick infractions but I'm seeing an occasional boarding call too.

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.
