You know you have the tuner if you reset your sliders to hard core and hitting assistance is zero.

It was set to two on initial release I think.

This is correct. Also Human Poke Effectiveness is now at 3 and CPU's one is at 2, both were at 1 before the tuner.

so this tuner is nothing more than a slider set? has anyone else noticed any game improvements because I guess I have it then and I noticed nothing other than those slider changes in the default settings

Yep Al_Tito, I played off line with 1.01 and really didn't notice much of difference.

Well this seems to be something new!?

In past games, the actual sliders would not move when they released a new tuner set. Only the values "behind the scenes" was changed.

So this basically means they changed the hardcore settings.
I.e. anyone using custom settings won't see any difference.


I am confused.
Is this the future of tuners for this game, a new set of sliders... not actual tuning of the values that the sliders represent?

To me it seems like the goalies are back to being superpowered and stopping everything, and 80% of shots end up in the glove.

Was having 5 goal games to 6 straight 0-0 in regulation. 2 of those games was against a friend.

Not too into it. The goalies finally felt loose and organic. If you faked, and got a good step, the would ACTUALLY be caught in their momentum shift and you could see, and bury the empty net. Today, nothing can get past any goalie.

Hahaha geez, what a complete mess! Can this team do even the simplest things correctly?

I'm actually surprised that the tuner came with notes on what it "fixed". I should've guessed that they would manage to fudge something else up with it; like how to download/install it and other seemingly simplistic functions of what comes with releasing something like a tuner set.

Also comical that it could just be a simple slider alteration and not anything that is actually under the hood.

It's like even when they try they shoot themselves in the foot. And once again we, the consumers, are left having more questions than answers with this game.

I enjoy the game...but this is getting a bit ridiculous...there's only so much you can take.

I noticed on the EA boards people after this tuner were having a harder time scoring after the tuner, just like myself.

Goalies seem a lot better especially on breakaways and just tougher to score on in general

In two games post tuner, I've thought this too.. glad it just isn't me. I did see two clean wrister goals.. but the goalies do seem like they are tougher to score on since the tuner update.

I prefer harder to score. Better than seeing 8-6 games on 8 minute Allstar.

The tuner has done that.. and I would agree.. it's really made me want to play game after game.

? harder good or Harder just robotic boost ?

Re: NHL 15 Tuner Update Available Now, Details Included

Robo goalies are back, in my opinion. Seems like all the newness that made it 15 is gone back to 14.

I was hoping it was just me.

I don't consider myself incredible or exploit goals or whatever in this game, i play hockey(cycle, work back to points, dump and chase etc)...been playing these nhl games forever..but i just can't score now...been using someones sliders on these boards and had to adjust goalies reaction and stuff....still can't score...

Some may like it as it is challenging....but the goalies are definitely tougher now

The problem with the goalies in this series is that they'll routinely make sprawling saves by diving across their body or sliding across the crease with a split-second warping animation. But then the next shift they'll turn around and let-in an incredibly weak wrister from a terrible shooting angle, or get fooled by a simple forehand-backhand deke with the skater coming in from the side of net.

Basically, the goalies will save way too many shots that they shouldn't, while simultaneously letting-in way too many shots that they shouldn't.

The goalie AI is probably the most frustrating part of the game, as it has been for years now. NHL 15 has done nothing to improve upon that weakness.

Re: NHL 15 Tuner Update Available Now, Details Included

I'm not convinced that the tuner had anything to with that because it seems that the tuner is more for online gamers and before the tuner came out I had great sliders and then all of a sudden something happened and my game reverted back to a really arcade type of game with super CPU players, and I'm not the only one that's had this happen. In NHL 14 I used to reset the sliders before every game and then re-input them before I played and my games were good but its more difficult to do that now so I cant tell if that's the problem.

Game plays even better now. It's sloppier also. I had to bump up the speed to 2. I had it at 1.

Gameplay is so kick-***.
