NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

So what kind of sliders are used in online ranked vs games? My offline play now on all-star hardcore gamestyle is like 50% faster than online ranked.

Allstar/Normal.

Can anyone confirm anything about the effect of 1.04 after deleting game data? I got frustrated with my BaGM cause I felt like injuries were too high and my CAP with 99 durability was getting injured for 6-7 weeks at a time. But that's beside the point. I still wasn't fully satisfied with penalties (I've mentioned before still avg. 5-6 penalties overall per game but I'm only getting about 2 PP/game)

So I decided to delete everything except my roster save and start from scratch. This time, BaP with my own CAP, rather than BaGM. I d/led the tuners, modded the sliders to my own, and the first BaP game I had, my team took 2 penalties and the CPU Rangers took 7. I went 2/7 on the PP, but since it's BaP, I simmed to next shift for the most part so I didn't see the penalties but I was on the PP1 line so I got a lot of PP action.

I'm just trying to figure out if it's because BaP only allows you to play full 20 min periods (even though I only have about 20+ min total shift time), or because I reinstalled all game data/tuners from scratch, or pure coincidence.

And how are everyone's sim stats regarding penalties? I know for the first 40 games of my former BaGM which were all simmed (before game data reinstall, 1.04, 10 min per. on all-star) I was still last on power play attempts by like 10 attempts. Does period length really affect the amount that get called even if the penalty scaling slider is at 0?

Why is online set to fast gameplay like this? Players skating at unrealistic speed compared to their reallife conterpart.

I think the majority of casual gamers, online gamers, and casual TV sports viewers prefer fast-paced, high-scoring games, no matter what sport it is. The main reasons, if you will, I hear from friends about why they don't like baseball and golf, for example, are because they are "slow" and "boring." Faster games usually means bigger hits, high-octane offenses, and more appeal to the casual fan.

With stats being even more available, detailed, and maybe even overhyped, people want to see numbers. There are fewer and fewer people who can enjoy a 1-0 pitching duel in baseball, a 7-6 defensive struggle in football. I've always been one for realistic stats in games, and I'm a huge sports fan all around, and I can't find anyone that still enjoys some "old-school" type games, for lack of a better description (and I'm only 26). Also, the increasing popularity of fantasy sports may have an effect.

That said, I love creating myself as an 18-21 y.o. rookie in all simulation sports games I play, which is just about all of them (except Madden since you can't so I don't play that this year), I am highly involved in fantasy football and I'll admit more points and faster play usually translates to more exciting, but I still enjoy a lot of parts of the all sports that most would consider "boring" and those like me are few and far between.

I don't understand the question -- those settings don't make it faster.

What is so fast paced about game speed of 3, seems about right to me.

Remember this game is played on ice not dirt.

When you are in a Be A GM (or Be A Pro) I'm pretty sure the settings are orphaned off from the main settings, so if you change them within the Be A Pro they only apply there. Maybe that's what is going on? It is worth checking. I wouldn't think that machine being left on for a few hours would be able to cause anything like that.

Happened again and this time i'm sure about it. Same sequence: Played Be a GM for 2-3 hours, skating speed went crazy. And its not like whole game runs fast, its just the maximum skating speed, players cannot turn with that speed. And believe me I've played enough to see that this is not normal. Now its possible that I went to main menu and reloaded Be a GM before this happened but i'm not sure about that.

So with this crazy skating speed I played a game for a while, saw that this ain't right and i simmed the rest of the game. Started next one, same thing. Tried it few times and went to main menu and tried in Play Now, same wicked skating speed there too.

I tried to fix it with sliders from settings in game pause menu, didn't help. Even tried to put default gamestyle Normal and Hardcore, no luck with those. So I went back to Main menu and changed my sliders to something and went back to main menu and re-adjusted my sliders to Gamestyle Normal and saved my profile. Everything was fine after that, back to normal speed.

So i'm guessing that something happens between exiting Be a GM(season?) and going to main menu/play now OR something happens when exiting Be a GM and going back to main menu/play now and reloading Be a GM.

This time I fixed it without exiting NHL13 though, last time I reinstalled the game.
