NHL 13 Title Update and Tuner 1.06 Available Now, Post Your Impressions (PS3, 360)

Re: NHL 13 Title Update and Tuner 1.06 Available Now, Post Your Impressions (PS3, 360

Playing in a GM Connected on All-Star/Normal/10min, I can say I'm fairly satisfied with overall gameplay. I hadn't played for several days before two games last night, so it was a reminder that things are fairly solid now. Of course there are some things I'd tweak if I could, but I think this is the best the series has played using what amounts to default online settings.

As for what changed with these updates... It's a relief to be rewarded for keeping the puck to the outside and not giving up prime scoring chances. I'm not seeing nearly as many goals from bad angle shots or the ensuing rebound. I also had three "cross crease" goals in those two games; one thru the five-hole, one against the grain to beat the overplaying goalie, and one classic near post beauty. I had to thread the needle to put on the tape right at the post and if I hadn't placed the shot perfectly, a diving Luongo probably would have stopped it.

As for OTP/EASHL, we only played one night since the update. It did seem faster, but my guess is the smoother framerate really affects our perception of the action.

Unplug your online cord

Thank you for your input.
However if it would be that easy, blieve me I would not
waste your time

My PS3 is linked to the internet with WIFI.
So even if I have WIFI off and playing offline, as soon as I start the
Game I am asked if I would like to download the new software.
During the game, I am remindet each 5 minutes that I could update the
new software - which is absolutely going on my nerves

so is there any possibility to not download the patch and avoid the
reminders? Can I change something in my system or in the NHL13 game?

Thank you in advance for your help

I tried all that "hardware" stuff to stop it. It is not working.
I trust the information regarding the softwareupdate is kind of stored
in the cage of the PS3 when I was last time online.

So true for me too, Qb.

Those bad angle goals that were present in earlier tuners was making me pull my freaking hair out. And I haven't got much to spare.:wink:

But seriously...yep, having that type of goal fixed or at least toned down has really helped with my enjoyment of the game.

So the patch plays differently offline than online? I've been playing my GM mode, exclusively offline so far this year.

I see people saying that the players seem weightless now and can skate around like crazy again. I'm thinking "WTF??" I still get caught flat footed with my defensemen, seems like it takes them forever to get to full speed, particularly with my 3rd line D. I haven't noticed any difference in skating!

I've only played off-line too, Gopher.

I feel the same as you. To be honest Gopher...I really don't see much of any real difference in any area of the game after the patch/V1.06. It pretty much just seems well....the same. Except for my volume/visual settings now saving. Which is very nice.

I'm sure like you, not saying others are wrong. But just not experiencing the things that some seem to.

PS: Well Gopher...my three kids and I were suppose to be in St. Paul tonight to see the Kings vs Wild game. Damn...I'm starting to really hate this lockout.

It's a damn shame. The NHL is my buffer between college hockey weekends. Now all I hear is basketball talk during the week. *barf*

Patch, 1.06, and rosters4 works right...

What happened was that when some people downloaded the patch, tuner, and rosters4 somewhere in one of those downloads there was a bug. So some people got it some didnt.

I don't know if it has anything to do with on or offline (We play offline) but after Even though we play OFFline, I downloaded everything, and it definetly was screwy with the checking, play, etc. and every player 1st or 4th liner was faster (which probaly had most to do with this weightless feeling...)

Anyways, when they said to delete your profile in the game and then on the ps3 menu/mainpage and delete stuff there too... Then reload and download patch, tuner, rosters4 it should work properly and IT DID.

Everything that was screwy wasn't and all the things they made better in the patch were working right and it does make several things even better.

I love this game and that they keep making it a little better each time (even though tuner 101 and 104 were the way to go and not the other tuners. 106 is a good one too.). Theres going to be some bad tuners in the process of making things better, just play the last good one until the next good comes out...

I sure if erveyone does this delete reload download again process, you'll really like the new updates.

Sign the new cba now bitchs!

There has to be a bug or problem of some kind when installing these tuners. I've seen that fast gamespeed few times and weird physics too and I have fixed them. My game is not fast, Its actually pretty slow on my sliders and its not fast even with default gamestyles Normal/Hardcore. This could be the reason why some people aren't getting penalties called too.

Now this is pretty quickly done, I've done this 4 or 5 times:

1) Delete your profile in NHL13

2) Restart your Console & NHL13

3) When prompted download "Game Modes Tuner" first and then download "New Tuner Update"

4) Go to your settings from Main menu and adjust your rules and gamestyle/sliders and choose 1.06 as tuner version, do not choose latest(dont know if it matters but I think it makes more sense to put in tuner version manually) and save&exit

5) Load your Be a GM or Season or whatever you might be playing

6) Go into your settings, they should be as you have saved them before. Change something in settings like put tuner version 1.05 there and save&exit. Then put settings back how you want them and save&exit again.(this is only because there will be "new" settings saved despite the fact you didn't change anything)

7) Adjust custom camera and controller settings back to your liking because they went back to default when new profile was created

5, 6 and 7 can be skipped if you're testing in Play now obviously. Hope that helps.


Your saved games will work normally, your Custom AI files will be safe too. I don't know about Created plays but i dont think they work as they should anyway...

Hey Taku, will this delete my online Pro for EASHL?

Re: NHL 13 Title Update and Tuner 1.06 Available Now, Post Your Impressions (PS3, 360

Can anyone please tell me why the same problem has not been addressed for the last 3 years..

D-men picking the puck up after a shot on the rebound and they run into their own net. their stick and the puck is clearly over the goal line and the play keeps going.. No own goal nothing...so annoying...It happens to me 3 times a game..

EA please fix this...Although after the patch, tuner 1.05 games are too good to change that, i have seen a few more bad bounce goals...Horton flying down the left wing circled the net threw it out front and it hit the dman's leg and bounced past Luongo. Next game big shot from the point, Rask makes the save and Seidenberg goes to grap the puck out of the air and he throws it into the net...hysterical...

I doubt it but I'm not sure. I find it hard to believe that online Pro would be saved into your profile...

Yeah, "speed bug" isn't fun. Hard to say how common this is/was, I certainly hope that there is no people experiencing this anymore because game really is very good when it's working properly...

First, you are wrong that it has been a problem for years. The number of accidental goals because of this was annoying in years pass. It feels like they specifically fixed it so that awkward animations would not result in goals.

I definitely do not want a return to these fluke goals.
