NHL 10 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

Re: NHL 10 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

I had scoring issues post-patch as well, but I think I've fixed it by switching back to tuner version 1.1. Before the patch on this tuner version I had a real nice variety in games (some blowouts, some nail-biters, some low-scoring, some high-scoring, etc.). After I downloaded the patch I scored 4 goals in a 5 game stretch. Then I realized in my sliders I had it set on "Latest Tuner Version". I switched back to version 1.1 and I seem to have the variety back through the first few games after the switch. I think tuner versions after 1.1 have really killed the goal scoring.

Anyway, it's helped me and anyone having scoring issues post-patch may want to try it. Just change the tuner version back to the earlier one.

I have an XBOX 360.

How do I set my game to tuner version 1.1??? Where do I go to set it. I have scoring issues also it seems.

It's right in with the slider screens.

It's in one of the first screens. Near the top of the screen, where you can adjust the game speed, attribute slider, etc..

I deleted everything, loaded NHL 10 back up, d/l the rosters and played two great games on AS defaults last night.

Can't wait to get some more time in this week.

I did the same thing a few days ago Mizz.

But the issue I was hoping would be helped, for me...really wasn't. So I reloaded everything.

My problem is, I just can't score enough to be competitive in my BEAGM. I really enjoy the gameplay on AS. But damn...scoring for me is very tough. I'm just too freaking slow to take advantage of decent scoring chances. I like this game just too much to give up. So I'm going to keep at it. I'm going to try bumping up my shot power a bit, to see if that helps.

Are you on defaults? I don't like slowing down the speed of the game and I think that helps me score more. It comes and goes though.. I do score more on pro like I should, but I also totally dominate in shots on goal.

I'll play some more tonight as just a few games is not enough to see if it really has helped. I did score on two clear wristers though!

Yep Mizz, I'm back pretty much to default settings.

I'm playing All-Star "normal". I do however have the game speed set at 1, and the AI learning/face off difficulty at 3. Also...I've been using the latest turner set.

For my skill level [or lack there of] AS is damn near perfect for me. I really enjoy the gameplay a lot. But yeah...scoring enough has been a problem. I see a lot on replays, the many scoring chances I've blown, because I just react too dang slow. And that of course is on me...not the game. If I can just get quicker on the sticks, I'll be in great shape.

Had a wild 5 to 5 game last night and lost in the shootout!

Yeah thats a lot of goals for this years game Mizz.

Myself, I just can't do Shootouts. Deking is another one of my weakness. So I'd lose nearly every time. Heck, I'm happy just to get a tie.

My skill level sounds to be right around yours, vikes... Try upping your shot power to 5 and see if that helps. I score more with it here, and am using an All-Star slider set from DM

Yep Silver, I have tried upping my shot power. And your right, it does help.

But I'm such a freaking fussbudget about sliders, that I turned the shot power back to default. One other thing too though...personally, it kinda bothered me how my shots looked so much faster than the cpu's. My shots looked kind of out of place with the rest of the gameplay. Because they looked like they were being shot out of a cannon. I don't know...like I said, I'm just too dang fussy. But thanks for the tip anyway Silver.

Gonna try what you are using cause I been frustrated with this game. I don't think I have one two games in a row with my beloved Rangers.

In my experience anyway DG...the games [off-line] vary around quite a bit, which to me is great. But it can make settling on sliders difficult. Just when ya think you've found the right setup for yourself...you have a game that makes your settings seem all screwed up. Then it's so tempting to start messing around with the sliders...again, and again... Before ya know it, your playing with the damn sliders, more than the game itself.

With the setup I mentioned, some games the cpu plays pretty timid, and I've out shot the cpu ohh...43-23. While in other games, the cpu has been very aggressive, and it's been almost the complete opposite. So again for me...theres been a lot of variety. But most of my games have been very close in shots on goal. And overall flow of the game. But admittedly, my skill level is pretty low.

Re: NHL 10 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

After playing a few more games, I decided to delete the patch.

And the bit more "sloppy" gameplay has returned. Not really too sure of the actual benefits I'm sacrificing with the deleting. But I do enjoy the gameplay more without the patch being active. So I think I'll go patch less for the time being.

How did you delete it?

Yea I suck and being the Rangers isn't easy. So the game is tough then using a team that is OK makes it even harder, obviously but still tons of fun.
