Re: Update 1.04 is out

Well I updated and played with the new tuner and it was fine for the first two games! I only play BAGM and every time my games froze, the screen would zoom to the top of the screen. Today, during my third game, it froze while i was skating up the ice on a 2-on-1. Not impressed, thought the patch would fix the freezing!! And to note, my games have always froze while I'm winning, which is even more irritating. I lost my previous game in OT tho and never saved my season so I guess I get to play that game over again

sorry if my question confused you. yea i was asking if you tried it in BaGM. with the newest roster of mattg coming into horizon, i might try NHL 12 again. if i may ask, if you dont mind, please post here how you find this new tuner in your BaGM. thanks in advance.

i will definitely remember the attitude of EA towards its consumer when they "motivate" (or should i say b.s us) in buying NHL 13.

Just played my second Be a GM with the new update. I committed 4 penalties and the other team committed 2.

That's more penalties than I would see in 4 or 5 games, pre-patch.

Very happy!

Aside, is the freezing a PS3 issue, or is it on the 360 as well? I asked this in another thread but I don't think it got answered. This game has never frozen for me, not once. And I've put quite a bit of time into it.

Re: Update 1.04 is out

Played tonight's Wings v Stars game in my current Season and I did notice the goalies seemed different. Rebounds seemed better. The puck played slightly looser. Penalties seemed exactly the same as before though, I received 3 pretty lame penalties, one being goalie interference and the computer received no penalties except for a penalty shot which I scored on in the second period. All penalties except for the penalty shot came in the third period. I won 6-3 with an EN shorthanded. I thought my computer teammates seemed to jump into plays a little more. Had a nice one-timer where my pc teammate jumped into the play which doesn't seem to happen enough for me to notice until now. Over all the game played very slightly better, still disappointed in the penalties. And the game settings STILL don't save, such as commentary volume and puck size/shadow. But at least I have numbers on my helmet that I really can't see during gameplay anyways.

Re: Update 1.04 is out

Yeah, I am still getting more penalties per game finally... Games 4 and 5 saw me getting 2 PP's in my 4th game post patch and 6 PP's in my 5th game, while I took 3 and 2 respectively... Not sure why some are still not getting the penalties called other than to say try your own slider settings instead of someone's elses... I have used several of the "top" sliders posted by some and had no luck, since the patch I am using tuner 1.0, all-star, 10 minute periods, game speed 2 clicks (all from zero), Penalties maxed, cpu penalties maxed, cpu teammate penalties maxed, reception ease 0, passing 1 manual off, aggression 5 for both hmn and cpu, stick checking 5 for both, hitting power 2, goalie passing 0, goalie cover maxed, goalie vision 2 for both... (I have seen a lot more hooking and tripping penalties now)

I have received 21 PP's in 5 games going 7 for 21 and have been on the PK 12 times with a PK of 1 for 12...

Not that this matters but I play authentic puck size and shadow... With the Red Wings through 5 games I am 4-0-1 scoring 23 goals and giving up 12... Just all around feels like a better game post patch finally, or maybe since I stopped relying on other people's sliders, but I do thank them for their efforts...

Re: Update 1.04 is out

I've seen little to no change at all concerning penalties. Last game in my BeAGM I had three while the CPU had zero. Luckily for me, since I switched to mkharsh's sliders (difficulty level is pro), I've seen many more penalties than I did while playing on All-Star. Plus, it's a greater challenge.

Overall, I don't see anything different than from what I was playing pre-patch. Maybe that has to do with not using the latest tuner set, but these sliders are giving me a good amount of penalties now - on both sides - and a good challenge. I would rather have that then start all over with a new patch trying to learn what's fixed and what is still or newly broken.

Lastly, my game still freezes when I load up my BeAGM sometimes (PS3). Glad they decided that wasn't important enough to fix...

I did have one freeze right after I played post patch but have now played 6 without a freeze, but my custom music again mysteriously disappeared in my 6th game like it did during my 3rd game... Oh but this playing a PS3, not sure about the Xbox guys...

Re: Update 1.04 is out

For those who have been getting more Powerplays, do i have to have my penalty slider still up or just use the latest version of sliders?

**BlackXEyes** · 01-03-2012, 08:00 PM

Re: Update 1.04 is out

All the way up... I would not use pre-sets from EA, even their "hardcore" is quite the opposite...

It's best you play around if the sliders yourself, I work from Hardcore presets, and make changes accordingly...

Re: Update 1.04 is out

Maybe cause I don't have high expectations for the game, BUT I think the game is a lot of fun to play.

I do notice that my team and the CPU generally avg 1 penalty each throughout the game though

Can't wait for matt's roster update tomorrow so I can lead the Jets to the cup

**gopher_guy** · 01-03-2012, 09:20 PM

Re: Update 1.04 is out

What's different about "matt's" roster than the updated ones the game puts out?

Just more updated, or does he do ratings as well?

**BlackXEyes** · 01-03-2012, 09:47 PM

Re: Update 1.04 is out

there's nothing really different about it lol there gotta be a hidden attribute thing that EA Controls for players i know there was in NHL 2006 - 2008
in this NHLView Thing that breakaway forums and NHL Depot Created lol
there's a hidden consistency thing way back on pc lol

and i also saw a EA's Sliders thing that Break Away And NHL Depot Created
probbly what there not telling you sliders do something like radius width lol
