Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

Is everyone seeing the increased penalties continue as you play more games with 1.04?

I'm also still on a little to few games to have an accurate sample size. But I've seen very varied results, and like I've described above, it seems very much tied to if the CPU has the lead or not, if players are tired and out of position.

The latter (position) was very evident as me and a buddy played offline co-op, and had a few beers. Two slightly intoxicated human players on the same team, and our CPU team mates (not us) was getting called loooooads!!! I think due to us dancing around in the wrong positions.


But yeah, I've seen some blatant calls gone unnoticed, as well as seen som very silly roughing calls.

Thanks for your answers.
I play with 10min periods. So i think it's not enough when i see only 1-3 penalties for each team.

Should i increase the fatigue effect to force more penalties?

I wish the simple answer was YES!
But I think all I can say is: Try it out...
I'm playing 9 minute periods myself, and I'm seeing probably 3-9 calls total per game, which is very varied, but it feels that it's more calls late in the periods when players are tired and out of position... and as mentioned, If you get a big lead, you'll probably see more cpu penalties.

i have noticed with 1.04 IMO it gets arcade like. the aspects of 1.01 that made the game realistic seem to be gone. ive had a total of 9 games with 1.04 and some things with the goalies I hadnt seen before make me think about switching back.

Had 2 games today and had the following occur (and NO i dont believe in a cpu comeback before a flame war begins, but this irritated me today)

1. had a goalie go to reach down and put his glove on the puck only to have him scoop it and go to pass. instead of passing it he moved his glove in a way that you would think he was making a glove save and threw the puck in my own net.

2. had multiple 2 on 1's against me and on a few the goalie moved over to the guy without the puck, moved FAR out and seem to have froze. the puck carrier simply took it to the net and put it in the now vacant net while my goalie never moved at all after going to the other man.

3. Up 2 goals with 40 left the cpu shoots and scores from the point. they win the face off, bounce off 2 checks of mine, shoot it THROUGH a defense man that went down to block it and score. next face off I win they drill me (good hit no doubt) put a wrister on net that my goalie never moves on (no traffic in front) and score to tie. Next play I get called for a penalty at center ice yet MY GOALIE skates to the bench and they score on a wide open net. Wth just happened?

it was like this for me in all tuners.
I had to put the game n hardcore and slow down the game speed and all shot speeds and accuracy.

I dont thinki 1.04 changed anything that would make the game easier.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

i didnt think to record it, but if it happens again I will. I know it made changes to the goal tending, but I was surprised to see him freeze on the 2 on1 's I mentioned and the turn and throw it in the net was a shocker lol.

the sliders im using are below if it helps you at all redshirt if maybe something I am doing below may have an effect as we have mentioned in this thread. :

CPU Aid: Normal
Broken Stick Frequency: 3

i would start by putting game speed to 0 or 1

i would also increas pass interceptions
i would also max fatigue effect

Just played a game, 10 minute periods & got 9 minor penalties called. 4 on the CPU. A big improvement from the 1 or 2 penalties before the tuner update.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

Just had an interesting time of it. Changed difficulty up to all star after going on a 9 game winning streak on pro, true broadcast 48 games into my Bagm. I had 2 PP, but the cpu had a staggering 10 and didnt score on any of them. I am playing 8 min periods, won the game 5-4 including a brilliant short handed break away tally to Nugent Hopkins.

I am seeing tons of penalties with this tuner. Last game the cpu gave me 5 and I had 2.

Do you have any easy way to capture and post a video? Even something recorded with a phone and put on DropBox/YouTube(/whatever) so that we can see what you are getting. I'd recommend rechecking your settings. V1.04 didn't change any of the things you are seeing, but that doesn't mean that there couldn't be some other strange problem going on.

hey redshirt_EA,
sorry for the late response!

ALL CLEAR!!! :-)

I really do not know why but after i reformated my xbox and start new,
it plays without any "arcade" style moves ect....

i stick with v.1.04.



and Thanx again for your help and answering me!!!!

just to proof you're not crazy I deleted my nhl 13 game data from the ps3 and have been using 1.04 ever since with no problems. I didnt change any of my settings or sliders and yet it plays like it did the first game or 2 I used them.

the penalties at times seem like a bit much. I played Vancouver and had 3 5 on 3's in the game, but then again I have seen the Canucks spend quite a bit of time in the box.

Glad to hear it is behaving normally for you now. It is still worrying because if you two guys both had something weird going on the odds are pretty good whatever it was is affecting lots of other people too.

do you know how or why clearing the game data and starting over would effect the way a tuner ran or worked in game? I dont know enough about how games work to even speculate.

with NHL 12 I noticed if I deleted my game data after every game I play and re installed the game the game wouldnt freeze on me. Did this my last 50 something games I played with NHL 12 and it never froze. forgot to do it twice and it froze each time.

It's hard to say what it was. Assuming everything is functioning properly then maybe it helped by resetting all of your sliders (though just changing game style would do that too). Otherwise it is possible that something isn't functioning properly.

I also can't explain what you saw with NHL12... it is very strange. Where did it freeze (e.g. in menus, in the middle of gameplay, during stoppages, in different places, etc)?

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

I'm experiencing that very high gamespeed now, in Play now with gamestyle hardcore and no sliders touched. Patched game, 1.04 tuner and everything. Gotta see if its still the same tomorrow when my xbox has cooled down, i'm not an expert with these machines but this has happened three times now and I think they have occurred after game has been running straight for 2-3 hours...

edit: I played Be a GM few games and then wanted to fool around in Play now. In Be a GM speed was normal and then in Play now it was really fast, felt like gamespeed maxed.

Very strange. It would be worth double checking the settings. When you are in a Be A GM (or Be A Pro) I'm pretty sure the settings are orphaned off from the main settings, so if you change them within the Be A Pro they only apply there. Maybe that's what is going on? It is worth checking. I wouldn't think that machine being left on for a few hours would be able to cause anything like that.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

Sounds like how MVP would run on my PC sometimes (double speed) when i used to play that game. I finally found out that you had to turn v-sync off but I guess that doesn't apply here.

Re: NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

So what kind of sliders are used in online ranked vs games? My offline play now on all-star hardcore gamestyle is like 50% faster than online ranked.
