I was hoping that the patch would address my perceived ineffectiveness of the Pass Reception Slider. I played with this slider at minimum in NHL 11 and it worked as promised. When I tried to power up my manual passes and send them off at top speed my players were rarely able to accept the pass cleanly. Unfortunately this changed in NHL 12. With the slider set to minimum I almost never see players flub on receiving passes, even when the pass has been fully powered up.

Honestly this is single biggest issue killing the realism factor of this game for me. Requiring "touch" on passes is key to making breakouts and puck possession in the offensive end more challenging. If I am able to wing the puck around like the CPU there is a lot less sloppiness, and therefore a lot less challenge, in the gameplay. I don't know if they plan to do another patch but I'm hoping this is on someone's fix list. Very frustrating that the new version took a step backwards with regards to this slider.
