I have read on these forums that the 1.00 is not the original. I personally did some testing and didn't see a difference. I then deleted my nhl 16 profile from my ps4 and now the game is great again.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this since EA does things and explains them very poorly. When the game is brand new the tuner is 1.00. You have the option of 1.00 and latest right out of the box. They are one in the same. The reason for two choices is because in the past EA would release tuner updates that would be 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, etc...for some reason beyond reason they don't anymore. So it goes like this:

September 11 tuner update overwrites out of box tuner still 1.00 and latest still one in the same

September 14 tuner update overwrites September 11 tuner still 1.00 and latest still one in the same

September 28 tuner update overwrites September 14 tuner update still 1.00 and latest still one in the same

September 30 tuner update overwrites September 28 tuner update still 1.00 and latest still one in the same.

You cannot go back to any previous tuner, sadly and inexplicable, other than out of the box. You can only go back to out of the box tuner on PS4 without wiping out all of your saved files and the minute you go online or click on HUT you will get the latest tuner again. Hope this helps clear things up because as usual EA has gone ghost.

I Played the heck out of this tuner and I made a huge mistake of trying to control/eliminate momentum/tilted Ice in this game instead of adjusting to it and trying to play better .
Since then I took my lumps but Im now finally having decent games on near allstar default win or lose .

Im not a slider guy but I do know if you change one key slider it makes the whole game change and not always in a good way and though its not better than the pre 9/28 its still fun playing and I do welcome a challenge .

While your post is somewhat clear..are you not contradicting yourself in your last paragraph?
How can you go back to the out of box tuner without wiping your files?
Surely you have to delete your profile to get the original tuner?

On PS4 you can delete just the user profile which wipes out the settings, your favorite team, and the tuner updates so your back to default out of box tuner. You can keep your rosters and seasons. From what I'm told by xbox users you cannot do that you have to delete everything.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Finally got round to trying the newest tuner yesterday, had nothing to lose; it was a fresh install, and I'm genuinely amazed at how poor it made the offline out of the box game play.

The game speed was all to pot and ignored at will, animation transitions seem to be skipped when the CPU was magically attracting the puck to themselves and the goalscoring was a joke. Absolutely terrible. Deleted everything on Xbox One and reinstalled. It did keep my user preferences curiously enough, synced those up from the cloud I'd assume.

What a disaster of a tuner. It made reasonably fluid gameplay into a choppy mess.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Gotta say, every day now i'm hoping to see gameplay tuner (1.04) has been installed. For me, tuners give at least hope of something better. Hopefully the tuner well hasn't gone dry already. That's a lot of hoping!!

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

wont get another one I don't think unless online gamers complain.
ea doesn't give two craps about the offline gamers.

Re: NHL 16 Tuner Update For September 28

Right now I logged in xbox, and installed game.
The hitting physics is impossible. Your Human player cannot get close to the AI player 90% of the time.


For me this is what the main issue is behind the high shots as the AI has a clear path to the net every time.


To defend, you just have to hope the goalie makes a stop or you poke the puck away. You cannot hit them.


OK so help me navigate this for an xbox 1 user.....


1) I should delete the game completely from xbox.
2) Go back into xbox but don't sign in
3) Load game
4) Go to game as long as I don't log in anywhere (xbox or EA) I won't get the updated tuner?

Take it for what it is, as EA says one thing and does another, but after the last tuner they said they would continue to work on and improve the game. I will say as angry as I, and a lot of others are with the last round if tuners, EA has suprised me multiple times this year with their effort to listen to us. I'm hoping the long silence and lack of activity is because they are working everything out at once. I'm hoping we see a big patch that corrects a lot of bugs, glitches, and a few obvious missing things. A game tuner that makes everyone happy, and a roster update now that all teams have played several games. At the end of the day if they do that it would be better than just releasing little things here and there. I would rather they take time and get it right. Yes my optimism is somewhat surprising given the overall track record of EA but I do think they are actually trying this year.

Perhaps, but I'm not one those EA conspiracy theorist who thinks EA is out to screw us. I think they have a game with a seriously flawed AI engine and a budget that simply will not allow them to rebuild from scratch. I think they receive marching orders from corporate headquarters to focus on HUT and online. I think that hockey has one of the most passionate fan bases around and we are very hard to satisfy. I think if they can fix a few issues they will.
