I think I am gonna have to start from scratch on a slider set or something and see how that goes..

as soon as tuner 1.03 came out, I put all the sliders I had adjusted back to default. I now play on all-star, everything default. The only adjustments i made was game speed to 0, and i lowered pass speeds 1 level.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the tuner sets. And they have made some nice differences. And the support for the game has been pretty impressive.

However, imo...nothing beats a good ole patch to fix a few things. And I'm kinda getting the impression that we may very well not see a second patch for NHL '10'. You'd think if a patch #2 was in the works...we'd have heard something of it by now.

I remember Jason saying that for instance, the cpu's habit of passing the puck back to the point, forgoing an open shot, would take a patch to correct. Personally it'd be nice to see the cpu be far more aggressive towards the User puck carrier when headed up ice. Rather than just allowing you to just skate right on by. It'd be nice to see this at least on the higher levels. Point being...it'd be great to have some of the remaining issues addressed with a second patch.

Maybe I missed it. Has there been any rumors of a patch #2?

What he said... and I still use manual.. mainly because I like to take all the credit for my goals!

I don't have a ps3.. so I have never played The Show.. but I can tell you NHL 10 is the best console sports game I have ever played...

In fact, friends who come over and play NHL 10, end up buying an Xbox 360.

I only have a 360 as well Mizz, so I've never played the Show either.

I have checked out a few videos of it...and it sure does seem impressive. But like you Mizz, of the sport games I have played, NHL '10' is clearly my favorite too. I mean this more as a positive towards NHL, than a knock on Madden/NCAA. But I haven't touched either football game since getting back into the NHL series.

I think my son said it best, when he said with the NHL game...it's constant action. And I also much prefer NHL's franchise mode.

The tuner makes the hide the puck glitch wrister a money goal from anywhere on the ice now. This glitch goal has dominated the EASHL for months now and nobody seems to care. Everyone just learns it and plays bad hockey. A shame really.

Offline the game plays even better after the tuner which is a consolation.

no doubt man. NHL 10 is the best console game for me, and I do have a ps3.
We'll see if the show 10 can overtake it.

If they could only improve the stats engine in this game for next year and make the franchise and create team more like 2k10 Ill be in heaven.

I love how 2k10 allows you to change nhl players names and such.

Also- one of these damn sports games should add a fantasy draft with all generic names. I believe mlb 2k3 had this feature as well as the high heat pc series.

Exactly.. I get nervous playing these playoff games like no other game.
