NHL 12 Patch 1.03 Details, Available Now For PS3, Nov. 1 For 360

[jemens]

don't know if it's a patch side effect. Played an Exhibition game with the Oilers (12 min). My injury slider is maxed out as usually but got 4 injuries in the game. Never seen that before.

Re: 1.03 patch out.

I got more injuries in my games last night, too. Wild, Be A GM, All Star, default.

Also, lots less interference penalties, but more of the other penalties. Which is good.

Does freezing issue mean the freezes people were having problems with for the past month or just some other random freezes that happen at moments majority of people don't care about

Re: 1.03 patch out.

Does anyone have any info on the "Improved Interference Logic", as if it fixes the online issue where someone can push a goalie out of the way and they don't get a penalty?

I wouldn't mind if it was just a bump that isn't called, but once while playing OTP, Someone got behind a goalie and pushed him to the faceoff circle and they scored a goal and it was never called Interference. Also, in Club, people can ride the goalie and push them halfway out of the crease and it doesn't get called.

i dont know if this is a good idea.... i thought patch is supposed to "cure" the stupidity in the game but I guess EA would like to revolutionize the term "patch" instead of improving/correcting into making it worst.

Re: 1.03 patch out.

I tried checking if the strategies you set for your team in the Be A GM menus save and carry over to the games you play like they should but that's still not working. I set my defensive strategy to Puck Side Attack before my game vs Ottawa but it was set to Standard at the start of the game.

I found that if you change your AHL affiliates strategies in your Be A GM mode and play a game the AHL strategies are used for your NHL team. I hope that made sense.

Re: 1.03 patch out.

Played a game on the road in my Jets Be A GM and everything looks fine with the road unis. Playing a home game against Ottawa right now though and that's where the black gloves and helmet issue is, plus the bottom stripes on the jerseys are incorrect as well. Instead of the white stripe in between the two light blue stripes, it's currently a dark blue stripe. Back to the black gloves/helmets, they're not too noticeable when you're playing because the blue of the Jets' jerseys is a dark blue but obviously in close ups it's easily noticeable. I know the Capitals had this same helmet color problem in NHL 10 or 11 and it was fixed in a roster update, so hopefully that will be the case here.

BTW this patch had to have done more than add the logo and jerseys for St. John's and the jerseys for the Jets. The reason I say that is because pre-patch on faceoffs if you tied up the opposing center, your teammates would never come in to get the puck, but now I see them doing it all the time, which is a big relief for me.

thanks for the info man!

Re: 1.03 patch out.

So was 1.03 the update or as they say, there will be one on November 1st? Because I'm still getting freezes and the goalie AI is still the same.

I wish interference calls were more consistent around the crease. I've seen guys blast goalies and nothing is called and I've seen guys barely touch him and they get called for a penalty. I wonder if its highly dependent on how much points you put in discipline.

Re: 1.03 patch out.

So they haven't fixed the custom music glitches for example home win music who plays intermission playlist instead? Very strange that bug even exists since it worked fine in 11 and they didn't touch custom music for 12, as far as I know. I hope it gets fixed soon so can enjoy my custom music to the max.

Re: 1.03 patch out.

Eh, they got the wrong shade of blue for the Predators new jerseys this year, so no surprise to see the Jets unis are screwed up, too.

And still no fix for hip checking? Come on.

I kind of expected that they would screw up the Jets jersey too. But in EA's defence, they only had two months to get it right.

Yeah the preds have wrong shade of blue and also the wrong shade of yellow. They look like team sweden in the game and they definately should not. And when where talking about wrong shades. The shade of blue on Columbus 3rd is so wrong it hurts. But then again, they've only had about a year to fix it and I suppose it's hard to find 5 minutes to do so in this stressful world we live in.

Is it too much to ask for to have all the NHL jerseys right atleast?

Re: 1.03 patch out.

For you QMJHL fans, the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada has their jerseys in the game now.

[KillHammer]

Re: 1.03 patch out.

Armada's jerseys are in, but they have red helmets. Hopefully the helmets and gloves get fixed next patch, possibly include masks for the Jets too.

Re: 1.03 patch out.

I'm wondering what the other AI improvements are. I was hoping they would change the way the CPU kills their penalties so that they try to shoot the puck, bank it off the glass or chip it out of the zone more often instead of using the flip dump almost as soon as the puck gets on their stick but that's still the same.

Also I've noticed if you're handling the puck with one of your defensemen, a lot of times your AI D partner doesn't stay on his side of the ice and stay level with you so it's possible to make good D to D passes. This was pre-patch as well but it's still there post-patch. The most annoying time this happens is if when you win a faceoff at centre ice and say the puck goes to your d-man on the left. If I start skating backwards to let my players set up, my D partner starts trying to skate literally right beside me. This is a pain in the *** because you have the opposing team's forecheckers coming down at you but you have no option to pass across the ice because you're other AI D-man isn't doing what he should be.

Did it fix the custom soundtrack issues for home win and custom menu music???
