not bad for me, cause i didnt like 1.04. (buggy)
Not more penalties in my new 6 Game Season Test.
So there is hope for a new "good" Tuner...

If the tuner was pulled like you guys say, that's not good news, because I really liked what I saw from tuner 1.04 when testing it last night.

Maybe the new one will be even better!

Now I haven't even tried 1.04, but all I can say to everyone playing offline that has downloaded it already, hold on tight.

Stop work in 30 minutes, and was looking forward trying it out.

Better to try downloading with another profile to see what version is available. I'm not going to download with my main profile.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

I only had time to play one game. Rangers (me) Toronto (cpu) saw a difference I took 6 penalties cpu took 2. I lost 3-1 good game but I felt the cpu was not as aggressive. I out hit them badly which was never the case. Felt the goalies gave up to many soft bouncy puck goals. That being said Redshirt did say in the other thread that this was not a completed version and more of a test. He wanted feed back from us so they could fix it. perhaps we should be posting our results and feedback in the thread he started and we can do it without saying stuff like this tuner sucks and what not. Its clearly a test version and Thank God they are working on it and our constructive feedback will help them.

yes, it gets deleted if you accept the new tuner now!
So your newest Tuner is 1.03 then.

Ok i'm clueless with this stuff. Can i somehow save my profile that has 1.04 to use offline and then go online and d/l any new one that might be available? I tried making an offline profile but it only showed 1.00 for tuner.

If you already had 1.03 then you are completely up to date. I had no new tuner box either this morning so deleted my settings. You'll get the tuner box on a restart after doing that but it will only take you back to 1.03 again. 1.04 has definitely been shelved for just now.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

Well im not sure does different profiles have separate tuners or patches. I just play without connecting to internet.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

Checked out the EA forums and EA Noun posted a message about it. Turns out the tuner was causing massive online issues so it was taking down while they work out the bugs.......hopefully it will be fixed and up soon. Once again us offliners play second fiddle to the online gamers lol....no it sounds like it was causing real crashing problems... perfectly understandable that they took it down. Funny Redshirt mentioned how it is tricky to fix these things without causing issues elswhere.

I was reading about how to save your profile to a usb stick, I guess that is an option.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

And still i wonder why there is no separate tuner for offline play.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

I tested it last night and liked what I saw from tuner 1.04. There was finally a good number of penalties called.

I love the gameplay right now, so I hope EA won't touch to it too much going on. Only things I would like to see tuned or patched are:

- Tune down goalies anticipation / lateral movements speed / number of desperate saves.

Great passing plays are more difficult to make this year because of better defense, which is a good thing, but when we are able to make them, it should be pretty high percentage shots. Right now, when on a 2-on-1, it's pretty useless and irrelevant to try for a pass, because even if we beat the defenseman with the pass, which is not easy to do, the goalie will stop it almost every time. Every goalie in the game has superhuman anticipation and lateral movements this year and they also make a lot of desperate saves. These kinds of saves are pretty rare in real life and that explains the wow factor surrounding them, but in NHL 13, they happen every game, multiple times. This also can't be tuned with the goalie reaction speed slider, because the goalie will let in weak goals while still be great on passing plays and making desperate saves.

- Make CPU players use their sticks more and actually poke check the puck, what they almost never do right now.

- Correct some hits and hip checks where players can do a 360 in the air or go directly in the stands or pass through the board.

Dude, you're spot on. Especially with your first point.
