Only things I would like to see tuned or patched are: - Tune down goalies anticipation / lateral movements speed / number of desperate saves. Great passing plays are more difficult to make this year because of better defense, which is a good thing, but when we are able to make them, it should be pretty high percentage shots. Right now, when on a 2-on-1, it's pretty useless and irrelevant to try for a pass, because even if we beat the defenseman with the pass, which is not easy to do, the goalie will stop it almost every time. Every goalie in the game has superhuman anticipation and lateral movements this year and they also make a lot of desperate saves. These kinds of saves are pretty rare in real life and that explains the wow factor surrounding them, but in NHL 13, they happen every game, multiple times. This also can't be tuned with the goalie reaction speed slider, because the goalie will let in weak goals while still be great on passing plays and making desperate saves. - Make CPU players use their sticks more and actually poke check the puck, what they almost never do right now. - Correct some hits and hip checks where players can do a 360 in the air or go directly in the stands or pass through the board.

Dude, you're spot on. Especially with your first point.

This!
How it should've been run since they introduced tuners in the first place.
Offline and online is simply separate worlds.

Maybe they think there would be to much confusion with separate tuners for online and offline. The way the kids on easports.com carry on, lol.

Yeah, playing hockeygames was easier back in 1988.

Player's language was similar though.

I have xbox live but i was doing an offline gm. I dl'd the tuner. Will mine be gone too? I was having a blast lastnight. I didnt notice penalties because my hockey iq is a -2, but all the PP's last night in my games were great. A lot of clearing from both sides, and hearing the announcers talk about how i cant capitalize on mistakes. CPU seemed to play different too. A lot more interaction? Kind of broad. Hard to explain :0

i bet you're far smarter than some of the developers of tuners @ EA

i'll remove my internet connection for 360 for awhile.... so far i like what i saw in 1.04.

and yes.... online game is the priority of EA over offline gamers. i guess EA earn extra $$$ from them. i dont give a damn as long as EA address the glaring issues in offline..im satisfied.

I wish wrist shot accuracy would be little lower, right now it's possible to snipe top corners quite often with accuracy slider 0...
