NHL 11 Patch Available Now for PS3, Post Impressions Here

Re: NHL 11 Patch Available Now, Post Impressions Here (PS3)

Both the 1500xp bug and the junior players issues should be fixed in your existing Be a GMs. So players should begin spending their XP properly afterwards. If some junior players are already in the free agent pool or if it bothers you that some players would not have been maximizing their growth, then it might be a good idea to start again (with the latest roster updates as well).

And yes, the superstars in the AHL bug should have been fixed in the last roster update.

What if you are using manual custom rosters? Is the superstars to AHL bug fixed for that?

Yes, the bug should be fixed for custom rosters. The roster update had a temporary fix for the issue but the patch has a proper fix.

Offline, it wouldn't save. You have to go back into the control settings and switch it to off, every time you start up the game.

I turned the auto-backskate off and when I turned the game on the next time I played it was still off so it appears to be fixed. I have the PS3 version.

THanks for you and redshirt dropping in to answer questions.

Do you know if the patch will be out tomorrow or not for the xbox?

Understand there are delays and I am not trying to give you crap, just curious if its coming out or not.

Did they fix the glitch were OT/SO loss points were not showing up in the standings?

Just played an EASHL game, and my player felt like he was skating in caramel. Everything seemed sluggish: skating speed, agility, puck control, the whole lot. Also, the skater's turning radius feels like a city bus.

And fwiw, my ratings on those are:
SPD 91
ACL: 92
AGL: 80
Puck Control:

This game was a completely different experience than the games I played last night. Altogether, it was not an enjoyable game in the slightest.

With the patch, do you advance in a HUT tournament if someone quits on you?

Jr. players becoming FA's too early in BaGM looks to be fixed. This was a major game killer for me. I didn't see near as many or high quality young prospects available as UFAs during the first free agency period ... however there were still some minor instances. For example these players were available as UFAs after season 1: David Rundblad, Tim Erixon, and Landon Farraro. All first round picks last year that I doubt teams would give up on after only 1 year after drafting them so high.

I can deal with this though. This is very minor to what it was before the patch. Quick fix for me was that I signed these 3 players and traded them back to their teams for 7th round picks.

Only other goofy transactions during the season that caught my eye was:
1. AGAIN, Jimmy Howard being demoted to AHL even though he was having a solid season.
2. Ottawa tries to move Brian Elliott to the AHL. Obviously that wasn't going to slip through the cracks as he was picked up off waivers by LA.

Also, Sidney Crosby led the league in points with 114 (51 goals) and Ovechkin was 3rd in points with 99. Take the good with the bad.

kinda dissappointed to see the phantom elbowing calls still there... Also have the goalies been boosted again? Seems like it...

Re: NHL 11 Patch Available Now, Post Impressions Here (PS3)

just played my first game post patch...cpu didnt get called for a penalty the entire game...game feels looser or something...passes were tougher to connect...handling the puck was tougher then normal as well...lots of loose pucks cpu and myself.

cup shots and attack time were about the same as mine...and faceoffs seemed to be a bit tougher, so thats good.

now a question what tuner is everyone using for this patch?

i used 1.05 and the game felt way different then prepatch tuner 1.05

goalies felt exactly the same for me. scored 5 goals in my first game with the patch.

The 1500XP bug is fixed! It now shows more than 1500 XP... which are never spent, so far. I have guys on my team with 2,600XP (in a continued season), and 0 improvement .So really, they just removed the cap, so that instead of throwing away that experience, you packrat it away. Presumably to spend while you HIBERNATE.

I'm testing things with a new BAGM mode.

Goalies seem worst actually. Since the puck feels looser they miss alot of cover up attempts which lead to easy tap ins by the trailer crashing the net. Just won a playoff game 7-5. May have to do some adjusting sliders wise.

Only saw 3 penalties all game which seems off as well (maxed pen sliders) 1 on the cpu for a trip, 2 on me, a hook and an interference.

Hopefully the upcoming tuner works out the kinks.

Yeah, I can agree the game plays a bit "looser" now. Passes aren't tape to tape. Also noticed dump & chase seemed to work a little better.

I really wish they would have fixed the sim stats though, but oh well.

Something easy to fix for a patch #2 if there is one....when you simulate a game in Be a GM, that damn "SIMULATING" box on the calendar covers up the team's record you are playing against. All that screen real estate, and they put it over the one thing that's useful to see.
