Re: NHL 11 Title Update and Tuner v2.0 Available Now, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360

a couple of things i noticed post patch/tuner:

1. passing - not very good at all. It's kind of the reverse of the magnetism problem.
Players receive a pass, then it bounces out again for no reason. There is two distinct actions where I can notice a player receiving a pass ok, then the second is where the puck comes loose.
I can understand if there is pressure from the opposition, i.e. poke/fore-checking, but it has happened when the player is by themselves without pressure, and should receive the puck without issue.

2. Glitch goal - yes, i have come across one that does exist. I was subjected to it 4-0 in HUT pre-patch/tuner and quit out, and post-patch/tuner it happened again, although the player i was against wasn't cheesing, but decided to do it to avoid me getting a tied goal (was 3-2), and made it 4-2.
So the patch/tuner hasn't helped at all.

I didn't think exactly what player this was, but I'm playing season with Vancouver and I'm seeing people falling a bit to often to say that it is reliable.
Maybe not to often per match, but to often in situations where they shouldn't lose the edge.

Played 4-5 matches yesterday again, Season-Pro-modified Hardcore... the games feel ok, I need to do some adjustment I think, but I don't know how I could affect the falling of players.

Does the patch allow for ANY of the cross crease one-timers that they decided to take out of the game completely this year? or is it still impossible?

About players falling down to much (Loosing an edge).

If you're experiencing this, lower your acceleration.

I had game speed 2 (on Pro) and acceleration on 4 previously and players were falling all over the ice.
I lowered acceleration to 1 and even tried 2, and problem was solved!

It also seems connected with your game speed, the higher game speed you have, the lower your acceleration must be.

Pretty obvious when you tyhink about it.

Yeah it is pretty difficult to successfully pull off centering the puck close to the crease this year, without it getting intercepted.

It seems to be about the same after the patch, imo.

Yep, it's still near-impossible to pull that play off. I'd still like to see this loosened up a bit but I'm glad that it's not like NHL 10 where you could pull that pass off pretty much at will and score 2-3 goals a game that way.

If you`re trying to get it across from that deep by just using a normal pass,when there is a defender there,...nope,it`s tough to make the play,you have to thread the pass between legs or between stick and body,......but it`s the low percentage pass option.
The saucer pass is the pass option to use for these situations.

Of course,you skaters have to realize that you can`t be successful on this play every time you try it......the pass isn`t going to get there every time,.....when it does get there,it isn`t sweet butter every time either.....at least not in the real world it isn`t.

Then there is the goalie to factor in,.....if he reads the play right,then even if you skaters have everything go right for you,.......he has the ability to react and make a big save.

Online...Well,I`m not even going to go there,....because the way some people play online is wretched.

yes, but i have seen CPU defender sticks act as if it were a frog's tongue to the puck, when a real player would have had no time to react to a cross-crease pass that quickly, so i think it's definitely something they did with the programming, although it does still work on breakaways thankfully

Yeah I've really learned this year, that I am (just like in real hockey) trying to get passes close to the opponents skates, as it's easier to get a pass through close to the body.
The one timers from the slot and crease are harder because the CPU's D are near perfect in blocking the passing lanes tape-to-tape, however passes through their legs or close to the skates are often available, but then again the puck do not end up on your team mates blade.

But on my offline slider I have the pass intercetions lowered, so to avoid those amazing "bend and stretch the stick around your body and intercept behind your back interceptions".

I feel the same way DJ about the ease of this pass in NHL '10'.

Yep...it was too easy last year. So overall, I'm cool with the way things have been adjusted for '11'. Like you DJ...I'd rather have the devs be on the side of caution with something like this.

One of the things I like most about the NHL game is...for me, and my low skill level, I have no "go to plays". That have a high percentage of success. It's great for me not to have to deal with any "House rules". That kinda thing really hampers the fun of a sports game.

My pass interceptions slider is at 0 and those plays still happen.

I like all the falling down and arrant passes....reminds me of my beer league

I am extremely disappointed that OTLs do not get credited with a point in the standings in Season Mode for any of the CHL leagues. I wanted to play a season in the CHL while waiting for the AHL rosters to get straightened out (so I can start BAGM with the Penguins). Sucks, but I've just gone back to NCAA Football 11 and CH2k8 in the interim.

How many penalties per game are you seeing for both HUMAN and CPU?

Running into a slight problem with my BAP.

Well...I'm spending way too much time on the ice. Usually half of a period or more. Before the patch and the new tuners, I could see reasonable numbers. Especially considering im a 3rd line D guy

So...im a bit confused lol
