Nerfing one of their most significant changes to the gameplay in years (although it sorely needed it) is a big move. We'll see how much of a difference it makes with the one timers once we actually play it. This literally became the meta in online play thanks to the overboosted accuracy so it should be a good change for both the competitive and sim crowds for the sake of game balance.

Interested to see how much the forecheck effectiveness changes post-patch too.

Agreed. I do hope they make it specific to ‘One-Tee’ going forward as well. Would be nice if it was just an addition for the guys with that trait (and toned down bonus as well), just so you aren’t able to activate it with 4th line guys or defensemen that rarely score.

Patch is out, online access is down for the moment so no way to know if there's a roster update (coaches) yet. Pretty good chance the one timer accuracy change isn't in yet either because that's specifically mentioned as a Gameplay Tuner item (separate download)

But it will be pretty obvious once you have this patch installed with all the PWHL stuff featured now.

Coaches were not updated. Boston is autogenerated and Blues still have Bannister.

Yea, noticed that. Bummer. Is Montgomery just out of the game then? I didn't see him in the list of staff to hire either.

Definitely odd, was he on Boston originally?

He was and when he got fired they took him out of the game.

Hopefully they add him back, I'm not starting a Blues franchise with Bannister.

Don’t we have to wait for a roster update for the coaches to be changed? Thought it was similar to jerseys and tied to that.

It is and they released a new one today so usually it's another 2-3 weeks for another one.

How is it possible that the lag got worse on this game?… they clearly have advised of stability fixes and yet, this most recent update has such a terrible lag in the rosters. Scroll threw the rosters and see how long it takes for the players photo to load when you scroll. Its pathetic

And so were clear… im on Xbox Series X with a MCI gaming monitor at 120refresh. I assure you its not the Equipment.

Thanks EA, this patch turned goalies into swiss cheese. Fix 1 thing, break 3 others.
