    October 19th Tuner Update

    A new tuner has been released and once again us offline gamers get nothing.....Here are EAs tuner notes on what the tuner does:

    OCT 19 - TUNER

    Be a Pro:
    - The coach no longer instructs you to jump deke.
    - Removed experience penalty when taking in long shifts in BAP.
    - Lower overall letter grade penalty when below target in feedback categories.

    EASHL/Online Team Play:
    - AI controlled players will no longer engage in fights.


    Well, I'm blown away how about you?

      Who knows. I do think when they do these tuners there are unintended consequences. Sometimes good, sometimes bad

        I wish you wouldn't get bad defense when you cover your area in be a pro. It's almost impossible to cover as a winger and they score on a crease goal.

          What about AI start fights. I've only seen one fights in like 10 games or so. I've tried to start millions of fights for fun.. not even one!

            Is this still version 1.00? Why do they keep overwriting 1.00. Just stupid.

                I don't see as many penalties against the CPU anymore.
                Poke Check doesn't seem as effective. I've mashed the button and it just goes right through the players legs and puck.
                Puck Control (0 or 6) doesn't feel like it matters anymore either.

                I've used the same sliders for a while now, and have noticed those changes since the latest "tuner" update.

                    Yeah. People talk that there's only one tuner, not two like options tell (V 1.00 vs latest). If you have updated your tuner then that V. 1.00 is also the updated one. So if you want to play with "out of the box tuner" you'll have to delete your gamer profile, which I did. It is a huge loss that we can't choose what tuner we want to use (that option was with old gen). Many say that tuner before october was the best offline tuner there was.

                    Though NHL16 have a lot of good things this tuner mess is a bad miss for EA.

                      Tuners are few and far between the last few years. So what a drag this latest one is so weak.

                        There has to be a bug in the tuner system that EA can only fix with a patch (which I'm guessing they're working on). It just doesn't make logical sense why they wouldn't let us choose the tuners.

                          So we all agree that to get the best gameplay, we go offline, delete user profile, then select v 1.0.0 or latest? Which one is best
