    Yeah just saw this.

    I hope it makes figure skating less effective and the poke a little more effective

      Man, I love these tuner sets!

      It's just fun to see how they change the game play. And best of all, if you really don't prefer what's been done [off-line anyway] you can chose not to use it.

      Yeah I'm hoping the really quick sudden stops/turns are either toned down a little, and/or, you risk a greater chance of losing control of the puck.

        That's my favorite part of the tuners too. Especially when they change gameplay for the better (which they usually do).

          Say what you will about these guys, but, I think it is things like this that show that they really are listening and working hard to try and achieve the best possible gameplay both online and off.

                Redshirt said this:

                The specific changes are:
                -Increase shot accuracy overall.
                -Increases to shot power in some situations.
                -Increase friction on dive.
                -Increase poke check effectiveness.
                -Face-off tuning, primarily to help CPU in certain situations.
                -Decrease fatigue rate during odd man situations (when clock is scaled and you are limited to two lines).
                -Decrease teamplay penalty for missed pass attempts.
                -Small increase to pass receptions (online games and HUT, offline can adjust using slider).
                -Small decrease to puck control (online games and HUT, offline can adjust using slider).
                -Narrowed the range of the agility effect.

                  a lot of interestings, and some "I'll have to see".


                  The specific changes are:
                  -Increase shot accuracy overall.
                  Not too sure. I liked a lot of the wide shots, seemed more realistic. Although however some good acc players were shooting way wide, so not sure what to think about this especially if it boosts cpu

                  -Increases to shot power in some situations.
                  Again not too sure. Most snap and wristers have been decent enough, slap shots more than enough unless the stick breaks (then it's the sticks fault..) Some backhand shots are incredibly weak, but I don't believe there's a backhand acc and backhand power rating... so I'll guess it's touching on that maybe.

                  -Increase friction on dive.
                  Really should have came years ago...

                  -Increase poke check effectiveness.
                  hope it's not too over the top. I was actually just getting used to the more intrinsic uses of poke check this year, seems more realistic. Really hoping it's not going back to '10 ease of use.

                  -Face-off tuning, primarily to help CPU in certain situations.
                  agree heavily. Once you learn the system, even on 6/6 faceoff setting you can win 90%+ of faceoffs with very weak faceoff players.

                  -Decrease fatigue rate during odd man situations (when clock is scaled and you are limited to two lines).
                  was noticing some weird decline on different fatigue settings, very differently than last year. And when PP/PK went into effect lines started going to hell. While some proper line tweaking helped this, this should make the more realistic fatigue sliders be more... well realistic.

                  -Decrease teamplay penalty for missed pass attempts.
                  -Small increase to pass receptions (online games and HUT, offline can adjust using slider).
                  -Small decrease to puck control (online games and HUT, offline can adjust using slider).
                  -Narrowed the range of the agility effect.

                  Rest of the above, really intrested in how much some of these increases/decreases are. can't really formulate till we see that, it's been good/bad depending which side of the dice you are on, which I thought was fine.

                    Re: New tuner 5AM EST Wednesday

                    Ok just played my first game with the new tuner..

                    I saw less of that turny stuff which is good. the poke increase is only slight but it is an increase nonetheless so that is good. Shots seem to have a little more oooomph on them.. I think that we are going to see more human goalies now because the computer goalies are pretty bad lol..

                    The game I played seemed like every other shot went in. Again this is only 1 game.. The good news is that the shots were normal wristers now wind back wristers.. Seemed like the goalie is overpowered by shots now.. This is a good thing because you figure that the computer goalie is rated 68 anyways..

                    Defense from your forwards will be even more important now because wristers are more deadly on cpu G's..

                    Like I said above, I think there will be more human goalies because of this tuner. Anyways the turn stuff seems better99f4a9fd-e815-4542-a1d5-bf23e7f6aee9

                      Eeeeek, I hope they didn't overdo the increase in accuracy and scoring!!! I know this was an observation you made during a single game but it sounds like it could be a drastic change and scoring may be over done resulting in a lot of high scoring games. If so, we have gone from one unrealistic extreme to another.

                      Was this online EASHL/OTP??

                          Sounds like I'm going to have to adjust my sliders all over again, but this is a good thing...right ?

                            Is there anyway to DL the new tuner on your PC? I can't get online on my PS3...

                              I downloaded the new tuner set. When I go to game options I always have latest on. When the scroll through tuning options it says v 1.00, v 1.01 and v 1.02 but no v 1.03 did the download the patch successfully? I still find it hard to score
