Do you need to have the most-recent tuner for the Patch to take affect? I've been playing with Tuner 1.1 as I didn't think 1.2 was a good improvement for offline players, and with my settings, I am getting a nice number of penalties on both HUM and CPU with 1.1.

QB, can you explain a little more about the manual line change issue that someone else spoke of? Is it a delay or something with the button presses when making a change? Does it affect the game in a noticeable way?

What is the "latest" tuner version??

I grabbed the patch and tuner update, but I don't know if it's 1.2 or 1.3 (or whatever the heck it is). Like Dan, I really liked 1.1 (hated 1.2 - too "ping pongy / arcadish") but grabbed what was the "latest" today and that seemed toned down. But I don't know if I just have placebo eyes... Thanks!

from what i remember reading the latest it 1.2. It should be 1.3 but they overrode the original 1.2 with this one. I will look to see where I read that....

Is the CPU scoring a lot more on anybody else? Seems like slappers from the point go in more for them now.

definitely noticing more scoring from the CPU...i had to adjust my goalie reaction speed up 2 notches....

i had one game where they scored 6 goals on 19 shots...pre-patch they were lucky to get 2 goals on 19 shots...

I believe it was bad_philanthropy who mentioned it. BP said the line change box would pop up when it shouldn't along with the noise that accompanies it (which I dislike to begin with). I only played a few minutes of an offline game before we started playing OTP. So I can't give any feedback as I didn't even notice it in such a brief time.

Thanks guys... I had that that screen overlay come up once (I use mostly auto subs) and it was slightly annoying.

I'm noticing the goalies playing the puck a bit more. I'm toning down my goalie passing slider to 1 as I saw Brodeur come out HALFWAY in his zone which turned into a stupid goal for me. What I WISH the goalies actually did do was play the puck BEHIND the net much more frequently...

I use manual line changes and what I have come to believe is it seems like the menu will pop up when the line you are using becomes overly fatigued, like a warning of some sort maybe.

that's what i think. it seems to be an audible reminder to change your line. it may even become more persistent (i.e. click faster) the more fatigued your line becomes. it becomes very distracting when both your defensive and forward lines become tired. the noise is annoying but becomes distracting when the graphic stays on screen until you change your line.

i dont see this often, sometimes when i manually change my line, its all "empty". but as QB stated, there's this annoying keeps on repeating like change lines. but i kinda ignore it, not a biggy but still.

It has done that in the past, but now it seems to do it for no reason at all. My line on the ice will have a few bars gone but still be in the green and it'll pop up a few times in quick succession. Definitely not the worst bug I've ever seen at least.

I haven't played yet with the patch/V1.03.

But I'm a bit disappointed to hear that apparently the pass reception ease slider is still not working. As someone mentioned, it seemed to work well with '11'...but not with '12'. I do miss seeing pucks deflect off of sticks when fired at the player from too close.

Also not hearing anything about the cpu's pass accuracy being toned down. I was really hoping for that too.

But of course glad that they've released the patch. And hope they continue to support the game with future tuners.

Nope...you can fully load a pass and send it to a guy two feet away from you and he will receive it. It's broke...terribly flawed.

[humaca80]

I agree the firing of passes to teammates 2 feet away is rediculous in this game!
