NHL 13 Tuner 1.03 Available, Details Included

[jyoung]

Another NHL 13 tuner update has been released (1.03), details below.

Name: Tuner 1.03

Date: 09/21/2012

Notes:

EASHL Only

• Increased AI goalie glove and stick high ratings
  
• Slightly lowered wrist shot accuracy
  
• Increased AI goalie rebound control
  
• Decreased AI ability to make long stretch passes when Users were calling for a pass.

BAP

Reverted the previous tuner change that fixed the issue where players were only starting their BAP shift at a faceoff since it raised the chance of a crash. We are continuing to look for an alternate fix for how to allow Users to start shifts mid play.

Re: Tuner 1.03 is out

Amazing that the most glaring need has not been addressed....penalties.

Re: Tuner 1.03 is out

Haha, sorry but the most glaring issues with this game are clearly online and in HUT. Yeah penalties are the biggest Offline issue, but as expected EA is gonna fix where they want people the most first.

Re: Tuner 1.03 is out

There's propably 27 other things they have tuned but "forgot" to mention it. Good to see they reverted the terrible 1.02 tuner.

I hope they modify those first 3 things in online vs play at some point too

Re: Tuner 1.03 is out

Loving the gameplay of this tuner. Just try it, drop the hangup about penalties. Its tight. I know EA will nerf it tho, some silly online exploit will come up and it will modify the offline experience. Just finished 2 games with this tuner and no sign of this " comeback " code. I had to work down low for my goals, have an effective attack in the offensive end, and pass to the open man on Pro Default. It's a gooder.

This is the best one! They messed it up to begin with, then they correct it up and people are screaming that the tuner only made line change terrible since we have AI who change at times they shouldn't, just to see them revert back saying it can crash!

Typical EA stuff.

Re: Tuner 1.03 is out

Could be placebo but I played two games and feel that penalties were pretty consistent. I got a minimum of four (two PPs each) in both games last night with the new tuner set (all penalty related sliders maxed and aggression too). I'm thinking that for playing with 9 minute periods that's something I can live with. The second game I think I had 4 PPs myself and the CPU went on the advantage at least 3 times. I'm gonna play more tonight and see how it goes. Sorry for no stats, you're just gonna have to believe me.

I believe you. I had a four pen game with the "Rules" Pen slider set to 1 and the AI CPU / HUM set to 3 each in a ten minute period game.

I'm methodically going through various permutations but crucially, Tuner Set 1.03 is great. It's completely toned down the garbage goals and impossible laser shots that the CPU would fire in. I've played about 8 full 10 minute period games and haven't really felt cheated in any of them.

Enjoying the game right now. It's a few tweaks away from greatness.

Re: Tuner 1.03 is out

Forget the penalty's we played five games EASHL last night. The scores go as follows. GM 1: 2-1 W 4OT, GM 2 1-0 LOT, GM3 1-0 L, GM4 3-0W, GM5 2-1L OT.

4 OT is rediculous but we gained 45 pts. After wataching all the replays neither side could score anymore on some very solid dekes and passing plays. Shooting doesn't work anymore.

I mix up shots on net had backdoor chances pulled backhand to get goalie to move cross crease on passes. Breakaways fake shots dekes through the legs ughhhhh.

Anyone else having the same results?
