NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Canuck, don't download anything....just delete the profile and start the game over from scratch, you'll have to do your settings and stuff but it's worth it for now,...Xbox one you gotta delete everything but it's def worth it for now too.

I havent played since 28th coz I was out of town. I havent turned on my PS4, I purchased NBA 2k16 and like to play this coz of this confusion about tuners.

So I guess, if I want to play NHL, until EA resolved this stupidity, I should have my PS4 not connected to the net?

Just delete your profile file and don't go online with the game....I'm using default rosters with some adjusted sliders....game plays way better for now.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Ok so basically my issue was I using Hut to get coins and trophies lol this tuner has me crazy so to avoid the tuner update I will now create another ps4 account and stay off line to get and keep the pre 3/28 tuner so hopefully problem solved and Ill see if its plays like it used too ?

Guys, Craziness continue!

After the "without a damn game tuner trick", I played 2 games on Default Pro Hardcore Sliders! Me ! On Default, I never played a game on Default cause it always sucks!!!

But just for testing, play with these and you will see, missed CPU passes, CPU Offside, CPU dumped the puck in, a lot of pucks goes out into the stands, deflected pucks, smooth skating, broken sticks from blocking shots, injured players from blocking shots and cheks, double minor penalties, and so on.... I still can't believe iam seeing/playing this on Default Pro Sliders!
Holy sh... It says the game speed is on 3 default, I can't play on 3 normally ( use 0 or 1) but now all on Default is great now.
The lack of penalties is still there but I changed the Slider to max ( CPU Pen Slider too!) and I saw 2 penalties in 1 game.

please try it out yourself!

So strange! Testing still continue...

Were you able to walk all over the CPU on Pro though?

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

So I used up my 10 hours last week and was actually considering a purchase but it seems like Rammer and team are pulling a bait and switch lol... so I guess I'll hold off and see what comes of this tuner fiasco. Glad I popped in to check what was happening before I purchased it. Any word if they are actually gonna fix this or is it just wishful thinking by everyone ?

IMO you can make Pro play tough without the boost more organic and you might even see a good amount of penalties too this year as its what I went with last night but its just not the same as that pre 9/28 tuner .

Well booting up a non tuner update game impressions coming soon .

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

So I deleted my profile and played 3 games with default pro, no tuner. Only change I made was to turn off manual passing. The games played quite good. Even saw some animations I hadn't seen before. CPU took a slashing penalty and my stick actually broke because of it. Don't recall seeing that before.
It even seems as though each line played more towards their setting (overload, behind the net etc) and the CPU played much better positional D on their penalty kill than I ever remember seeing.

Just played an excellent game on the default out of the box tuner. I did tweak my sliders quite a bit and I'm enjoying the game again. I will try a new tuner if the consensus is that it is good but as of now I can come down off the ledge because if need be I can play moving forward on default.

I play 10 minute periods which I know most think is too long. There were about 50 face offs because along with regular stoppage there were CPU offsides, icings, and pucks leaving the rink. The CPU dumped and chased as well as dumped for line changes. More importantly there were a good amount of penalties. I had 5 powerplays CPU had 6. I saw tripping, hooking, charging, interference, and a double minor high stick.

Sucks for the XBOX one peeps who can't delete just the profile and play default out of the box tuner

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

It's worth it to delete the entire game data in the game hub and start from scratch....I mean the accurate rosters aren't even out yet so it's def worth it...im just doing the playoffs and international tournaments until they come out.

I'm using default rosters...if I go online to get the rosters, I won't download the game tuner automatically right?

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

I've played about 10 EASHL games since the update as a grinder center and it's nice to finally be able to beat the CPU center consistently on faceoffs.

Before, I struggled to win 50% of draws against the AI, and I would often have games where the other team's human center would intentionally quit so that the AI could replace him.

But after the patch, human centers are always preferable to AI centers.

Now if we can just get the same to hold true of human goalies vs. AI goalie, then this mode will be well balanced.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

I've played 5 games this morning with this newest tuner update. Now, for record, I posted how much I loved the 28th tuner update. The game played hockey and I felt that if I gave up a goal, the AI deserved it.

The 5 games this morning have been so frustrating. Even though I won 3 of them, they weren't fun games at all.

Every loose puck battle goes to the AI. They swarm me if I get a pass in the slot, like 3 or 4 guys will converge in a matter of milliseconds such that, if I try to shoot, they block it, try to dump it they block it, try to pass to the corner, they block it, pass back to the defense, the will steamroll the dman and take the puck.

They are ping pong passing all over my zone and side stepping me until they get near my goal. EVERY, rebound goes on their tape. Pin them, and they still back heel pucks to the tape for one timers.

The one that got me, was I saw my left winger with a head of steam heading to the corner, their dman was standing facing the opposite and not moving. I pass the puck to the corner, I bet you see where this is going, their guy is able to turn, start skating at warp speed, and beats my guy cleanly to the puck that was at the same spot but full head of steam.

I shut it off at that point. I don't mind losing, I like it actually, I hate feeling cheated. That AI on Hardcore All Star is a bunch of cheaters right now.

I'm gonna be patient for EA to fix this, which I am sure they will. The game play was great, which is why I bought it. I was impressed.

I'm usually not negative and this isn't really a negative post. It is just noting some things that are killing the single player experience from this newest tuner.

Same here I love the series but its obvious they brought back the boost hockey or tilted Ice to balance good vs bad players online and its the offliners that suffer .

IMO it cant be fixed like it was before the 9/28 unless they can provide separate tuners for on and offline as its just to hard to balance the two experiences .

Back to the tuner before the 9/28 string of tuners the game played organic with great physics on near allstar default and after the tuner as you mentioned regardless if I win or lose the game feels robotic offline .

Hot goalies let in bad weird goals all of a sudden and then I cant hit 10 foot passes with nobody on my guys and the worst is when my players become slow and unresponsive almost like Im skating in wet cement as the cpu glides around and all play like superstars in boost mode .

Im not saying alot of this cant be balanced by sliders but it would take alot of time and effort and theres still no in game slider saves but it would still have the feel you described so accurately above .

IMO it would still be robot hockey but it shouldnt be this way especially how the game was before 9/28 at least offline that is as its unneeded .

At this point my only option would be to totally uninstall the game and just play it offline with outdated rosters but I dont see any other choice as its really hard to play the game competitively as is for offline .

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Another kinda sad thing about this latest tuner is....it seems to have really hurt the effects of the Puck control slider. Pre latest tuner, with control slider at 3, there wthere lots of loose pucks...causing play even through th NZ. Now, with it at 4, loose pucks due to contact are near totally gone. Imo, really hurting the organic feel of the game that was there.
