    Hopefully I remember this right...

    You go into "System settings" I believe, and then select "System maintenance". That should delete the patch. This is for the 360.

    If I screwed up Rhudey...you can Google it on how to delete patches. That'll explain it better than me. Hope it works for ya.

      Re: NHL 10 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

      Ok ,
      I just got my ps3 back and after my first few games with the latest patch and my perfect sliders heres my impressions .
      I notice less or hardly any cpu mid center cycling.
      A more realistic cpu attack that shoots alot more in the proper situation and believe it or not less tic tac toe passing.
      More board work and sloppy play on both sides .
      I also notice more realistic bursts of attack by both hu and cpu , give and take .
      Well thats my take Did they ever give a list of what was addressed on the ps3 patch .

          Thanks , but sadly when I tried to play a simple Playoff mode its a cpu boost fest just unplayable I wouldnt even mind but I cant even create 2 slider sets to address this as I love playing all mode .
          Also checkout faceoffs did they add these lockouts if I lose my stick doesnt even move .
          Im just getting tired of the edits 3 months in as this boost stuff made popular by MLB the Show 09 to mimic sim at all costs instead of solid sliders are wrecking some Great games .
          Even NBA live 09 has this

            I am FINALLY doing well in this game. Downloaded the latest rosters and I am winning. Finally realized and should have done this sooner, pinning the guys to the boards really helps defensively. No longer getting owned by the CPU on All-Star. Also being more conscious of taking stupid penalties. Go Rangers!!

              1. I remember playing playoff mode when the game first came out and having to turn down aggressiveness (I had it at max for exhibition I think). It seemed they ramped up the aggression to simulate the nature of playoff hockey, so try turning it down a notch or two if you have it high normally.

              2. What's so hard about changing the sliders? It takes seconds to make a few tweaks and you can simply write down your settings. It may not be ideal, but it's not impossible.

              3. I played a lot of center in OTP and have experienced just about every faceoff nuance there is. It's probably not the evil AI brain saying "let's screw dorismary, he's just too good at this game..." Your timing is likely off, probably going too late. I've had many times online where this happens, my game doesn't even try to win the draw, just kind of jumps in place. My timing was off and/or lag contributed.

              Hope this helps.

                Yeah your right as I have no problem playing my sliders in Cup mode , Exhibition or season , cup maybe a slight boost but nothing crazy.
                I think I was playing a playoff mode on Allstar prior to the patch .
                Thanks on the aggression tip I originally thought it might effect penalties for me so I normally would adjust stuff like cpu pass Interception to lessen the pressure a bit.

                2. What's so hard about changing the sliders? It takes seconds to make a few tweaks and you can simply write down your settings. It may not be ideal, but it's not impossible.

                Its not really the changing um as it is adapting them as they are perfect for my style but it was so crazy on superstar playoffs I start doing tons of edits and got flusterd and even tried lowering to Allstar but it was worse .
                Its just everything is so sensative 1 click here or there but bam when you nail it its Hockey heaven !

                Ok I think I remember wasnt there complaints about faceoffs being to easy and it might be addressed and I think it was or maybe in the last tuner ?.
                Its not a lockout its a different technique I think as I used to go right stick side and down or side to side and down but since I rotate view its confusing to explain .
                So if Im going bottom of screen to up on the attack its kind of down up on stick you gotta watch your guys blade plus its actually quite skillful and realistic being timing and motion.

                Thank You I appreciate the info and insight cant wait to try the aggression slider In playoff mode

                  Overall, I think the patch has done some nice improvements. The CPU trading is still a bit off I think, way too much of that going on in the off season, seeing all kinds of people being traded. But, I can live with them.

                  A couple of things I've noticed in the patch. I noticed that in BAP mode, there will be some NHL guys down in the minors. Not talking about the guys with the 70's rating, I'm talking about guys in the 80's overall. I was picked by Toronto as the 3rd pick as a Offensive D, and found Kaberle (85) and Ian White (81) down in the Marlies. Finished my first season with Toronto, went through the off-season, and found that Kaberle is still down, but White got traded. I was hoping that Kaberle would come up, but no luck.

                  I aslo saw in the patch that they made it easier to stay up with the NHL team after your 4 games. So, I started a BAP player as an Offensive D, got picked 1st by Colorado. After 4 games, I was 0G, 4A and a +3, got told I was being kept up. I guess that was ok, but then after another game, I was promoted up to the second line!!!. So, I tried another player as a playmaker LW (to see if it was a fluke), getting picked 4th by Anaheim. Well, after 5 games, 0G, 0A and a -5, I'm still up with Anaheim. Never got told I was staying up or being sent down. I think it's a little to easy to stay up. I liked the other way better, you got a feel for the NHL for a couple of games, got sent down to the AHL only to work your way back up. Even with the old way, I still think it's a little to easy. With my Toronto defensivemen, I still made it up after about 20 games down and made it to the first NHL defensive pairing by game 60 in the season. Started the second season, I'm still on the first pair (as a 75), paired with Luke Scheen (84). The rest of the pairing average in the 80's

                  Maybe I'm one of the very few that's looking for a bit of realism in this part of the game. With my Toronto guy, I can see him coming up fast, since I was at 9G and 15A in 28 games with the Marlies, and finished the NHL season (combined AHL/NHL stats) with 20G and 48A, although a miserable -31!!! . So, I can see them bringing me up after the stats I was putting up in the AHL. But, when I started the other guys to test the staying up modification, I found it was way too easy to stay up. Maybe they could put a slider in there to toughen it up for those who like it tough to stay up or get moved up.

                    Re: NHL 10 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

                    I'm enjoying the game but was just wondering, is it even possible for EA to release another patch? I think they have released two already if i'm not mistaken. They can release unlimited tuner sets though, i think. The only thing i'd like to see fixed or the main one is to see the AI a little more aggressive coming into your zone and do less cycling in the neutral zone.

                      Correct me if im wrong but I think its been 1 patch and 2 or 3 tuners not by the game but one was there when I got the game and there was 4 roster DL ?
                      I really dont want another slider patch if its gonna take me 2 weeks of heck trying to remix um .
                      When I get the perfect sliders i just cant stop playing Cup mode with real rosters ! the second week after i bought it I even stopped playing on the ice 3 games I subbed out to other goalies but my teamates understand , I think
                      This game is very fun when you get your skill level matched as theres tons of options and i never thought I would find perfection on Superstar mode .

                        Getting the perfect slider combination does make for fun game play. The ones I use from OBG are very fun to use. It seems to be the right balance for both my son and I, we both have BAP careers going on.

                          As far as I know Dorismary, your correct...one patch so far.

                          I wonder if theres any plans to release a second patch?

                            I recently asked Redshirt if there are any plans for another patch or future tuning changes. I'll let you know what he says...

                              I would hope that there's another patch as there are still freezing issues that need to be fixed. The one in particular that I am facing, mentioned also in this thread, involves playing a game with or against the AHL's San Antonio Rampage--the game freezes before the uniform selection screen.

                                Hopefully a patch to fix the injury situation where your player gets injured (and the CPU's as well)....they skate over to the bench, and just stand there until the play stops, giving you or the CPU a player advantage for that time.
