    Re: NHL Patch V1.04 Out Now (PS4 Confirmed)

    This is my first year playing on PS4 and I just got the game this week. We can assume those gameplay features are for offline as well, correct?
    Additional question.. does updating to this force a tuner update on you? It was asking me which "offline v1.00" I wanted to keep, the current one or the updated one. And I didn't understand the question, I assumed they meant tuner, so I said no the updated one.

        I'm hoping they were able to address the ai's refusal to enter the zone unless they have a clear path. For me the game is playing well, I'm having fun.

        Then I get annoyed that I can keep them skating back and forth in the neutral zone and they refuse to enter because I'm blocking them. If they can address that, I'm good.

              I think that's the biggest list i've ever seen for NHL. I just wish i would have read something like simply....Improved overall defensive ai. Where highly rated d-men now play like it.

                Did it give the ability to choose your tuner again in the main menu?

                Not clear on the tuner fix they made.

                I still have the second one and refuse to DL any others. My hope is they enabled the ability for those that have the latest to go back and get that second tuner pre 9/28

                  The only choices in settings (as I noted) are V 1.00 and Latest.

                      I'm guessing the change just allows us to download a tuner from the main menu instead of going online again....

                        Ok, sorry, must be my newness to the series on PS4, I still don't get it. So, if I choose 1.00 I'm always choosing the stock tuner, right? And this request when installing the update is about whether to keep the original tuner or get a new one?

                          I want the ability to change jerseys in EASHL BEFORE we choose our player type. Live keep it open the entire time we're waiting for the room to fill!

                              It's obviously a design decison, so there is nothing to "fix".
