NHL 13 Tuner 1.05 Available, Details Included

[Taku]

Another NHL 13 tuner has been released, bringing it up to version 1.05. Check out the details below.

Quote:

All Modes Increased goalie ability to stop slower shots from distance. EASHL Only Goalies ability to move laterally and stop one-timers toned down.* AI Skating attributes in EASHL increased slightly to keep up with User player progression. * There will still be amazing saves, however, there is now a greater range in how well the goalie may read the play which on average will yield better offensive results on good passing plays than it was in the past.

Thank you for the heads up, Taku!

Very happy about the slower shots from distance being addressed.

Vs the cpu, it can get a bit frustrating having your goalie get beat by a simple wrister from just inside your blue-line. Imo...too often.

Post release support, quite impressive this year!

No question a huge addition. This was a major problem with all of us complaining about the comeback AI. Half the time the CPU's goals all came from some whimpy wrist shot from the blue line so it made it seem like the CPU had to cheat in order to make a game out of it. The one thing I hope is that this fix also includes goalies being better on rebounds on these shots. That's another huge issue with this problem because the goalies will just let it bounce right off their pad and the CPU will just stand there and tap it in. Goalies need to be able to direct pucks to the corner with their stick, or paddle down and freeze the puck on slow shots like that.

Is the default hardcore game speed still as fast as 1.04? I really disliked how they increased it from 1.00 all the way up to 1.04.

Glad EA is continuing to find solutions and fixes for this game but I gotta say the game is playing GREAT right now with the penalties fixed and 1.04. I am not downloading ANYTHING ! It happens all the time that a tuner is supposed to do one thing but it ends up screwing with the gameplay and I am not taking that chance !

I'll run a test game with these in Be a GM and will post results soon

[Carolus Rex]

Why has the goalies ability to make superhuman saves on one-timers only been fixed for online pay?

[Mikey88]

The game is great right now. Really impressed at how much better its gotten since release.. So many issues addressed in such little time! Great job EA!
edit - any plans on releasing a roster or are we waiting until the NHL season starts?
