No more bouncing puck?

Heard a report that it was fixed with this last roster update, #6. Tried one game last night, seemed normal, but didnt get enough sample size.

Anyone else got this update and can comment?

I really hope this is true. If it is, I might get back into NHL 14. I refuse to play it until this issue is addressed. Was there an update?

I don't think they could fix it with a roster update. It would have to be a fix in a patch.

They have fixed issues before in a roster update.

Will it work with any roster of we gotta use 6 for that? Im using the first update with bunches of edits.

I doubt it. I don't know why EA releases fixes like this. It would make much more sense in a tuner, update, or patch.

If I remember correctly roster update #4 fixed the goalie issue. For those not aware, backup goalies start about half the games in a Be A GM mode and sometimes even more than the starter. For me, this was a deal-breaker. A roster update fixed this problem but you had to use the roster which contained the fix.

So now for me to take advantage of the goalie fix and the elimination of the bouncing puck I'd have to use the latest roster and start a new Be A GM. Which, mind you, would not be too big of a deal because I only got about 20 games into a season before I noticed I was facing the opposing team's backup goalies way too often.

just loaded up, downloaded roster update #6.

made sure it was loaded, so i went in and loaded it manually.

started a game, won face off to LD, skated to red line and dumped it, puck bounced off ice and up into the corner/glass 10 feet in air etc.

with that said, it didnt seem to take those extra 2 or 3 bounces. players gathered the puck up quicker. i dunno, i could just be seeing things, but the initial dump in general shouldn't act that way anyway. sigh!

Actually the goalie fix from roster #4 fixed it for the older rosters as well. I tested it with default, it worked. So hopefully it will be the same thing with the basketball-like bouncing pucks. Gonna check it out when the lil' man goes to bed.
