Nice, Nice, Nice! I've really been impressed with EA's commitment to this game. Great job.

Audio and visual settings NOT saved in Be a GM or season mode?

Agree with those comments that EA are giving great post release support. Really happy they have adjusted pivoting. Hopefully this will make for a more natural feel to this aspect of skating.

Shuffling of NIS’ has been improved. Less chance of seeing the same NIS inside of the same game.


Can anyone explain what NIS is? I am thinking it may be the highlight packages they show, but I'm not sure. With the highlight package during the games, I might see 1 all game. Do they ever show games stats or only talk about them. Just waiting for patch to drop before starting BEAGM. Thanks for the info. Happy hockey.

So much love for the Be-A-Gm mode...

God I miss the days before online sometimes. Be-A-Gm used to be the main mode for this game. Now, it's upthere in the "other mode" section...

Patch looks promising, but was hoping for a fix on the injury situation. WAY too many injuries in BeAGm, even with the slider at 1.

I always assumed the game mode tuner sets were to adjust things like injury frequency. It would be nice if they could lower the sim injury frequency. CPU teams are noticeably more banged up in GM Connected. We also had a guy go away for a week and come back to three long-term injuries to defensemen... ouch.

I'm in my second Be A GM season and I'm starting to get annoyed by this. I do a lot of simming and I'm constantly bothered by injuries.

At one point in this season, 4 of my top 6 defensemen were out with injury at the same time. The Assistant Coach has, on several occasions, assigned Winger Matt Read to the third defensive line out of necessity.

Re: NHL 13 Patch - next week

Have we ever figured out what causes this? It seems some people don't end up affected.

I'd love to know that.

Play now = My custom audio/video settings are loaded.
Season/BaGM = No, no!

Start a new season = My custom audio/video settings are loaded.
Continue saved season = No, no!

Ps3.
I'm trying to think logical about this, but I've given up.

Props to EA though, this is a pretty massive update. Nice one.

Yeah, resolving the injury situation was one thing I definitely hoped to see. Or if your not going to lower the frequency and length of injuries, at least fix the AI so that the CPU doesn't play defensemen on forward lines and forwards on defensive lines.

I hope they can lower sim injuries without nerfing them totally. A happy medium is what I think we're all seeking here.

About the number of injuries....

In my GM mode, nearly all of the AI controlled teams are dealing with lots of hurt players. But with my controlled team, I haven't had even one injury in the first 26 games.[no siming] That's with the injury slider at 4. Wondering if others are experiencing something similar?

Re: NHL 13 Title Update Arrives Early Next Week

Well obviously if you don't sim your games you don't have injury problems. I started my Be a GM on easy to upgrade my medical couple of levels as quick as possible. Doesn't help Cpu teams though...

Vikes, same here, no injuries in the first 28 games (no simming) . Season mode.
Strange..

Re: NHL 13 Title Update Arrives Early Next Week

I've lost Shattenkirk, Colaiacovo, Jackman, Petroangelo (twice) and TJ Oshie all to injuries within my first 30 games or so. I don't sim any games.

The rash hasn't bothered me, as the blues always seem to have a ton of injuries.
