NHL 17 Patch #3, HUT Competitive Seasons & Tuner Update 1.02 Available - Full Details

Do we need to restart a franchise to get new uniforms?

^ I don't think so, we haven't had to in the past.

Sucks that there's still no option to turn off retired jersey numbers in Franchise mode.

Nice to see the Pens arena updated to the new name in-game, but the overlay at the beginning of the game still says CONSOL Energy Center.

Anyone feel like skating momentum and acceleration from LS input is drastically reduced?

Whereas pre-patch it seemed like skating was a constant battle and human and AI controlled players were constantly out of control, it seems like things are a lot more in control. It does feel slower, and movements seem a lot "smaller."

Goalie is pretty frustrating right now, feels like your goalie can't stop a beach ball. Will need more time to get used to it though. Also-- CCM blocker definitely isn't fixed. They fixed the picture of the blocker in the selection menu to be upright, but not the actual blocker.

No... download the roster that was released today and make it your active roster. Then go into franchise and they will be there.

Played two games.. AI goalies are still a mess imho.

Goals just inside the blue line where the goalie is already in a butterfly and tries to scoot to block the puck are still there. To me, not much has changed, they need more speed from left to right.

I don't notice much, if any differences with the patch/tuner.

Anytime know if you have to restart your franchise in order to get players to fight again
