Operation Sports Forums - x360 NHL 2k10 Title Update Here

Attached the title update for NHL 2k10 that was only released for the 360. I was having issues with the "soft crash" where the ref would not drop the puck. This fixed the issue on my NTSC version (I cannot confirm if it works for PAL versions). Below, you will find patch notes and support on how to get this onto your 360. Hope this helps us that have come after the patch was no longer active...or maybe even a decade later like myself. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

**AS A NOTE, PRIOR TO INSTALLING MAKE SURE YOU SAVE YOUR SETTINGS AND SLIDERS AS THIS PATCH RESETS ALL TO DEFAULT VALUES.**

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Since this is an older game & patch, you may need to set your xbox clock back to after the release date. I had issues with it being unable to install due to the date. I set my xbox date to July 4, 2011 and then set it right back to the current date after I installed.
