Don't get too down, I lost my first four after the patch, but scoring only 7 goals in the process and allowing 14. I won my last two 5-3 and 4-1. There's definitely adjustments to be made...

I just had 8 penalties called on me (Flyers) and the Bruins went 3 for 8 on the PP. I lost 4-2. Just awesome.

I just played a game where 6 interference penalites were called ( 2 againstme 4 against my opponent) and im glad that issue got fixed.

Initial gut reaction...online versus randoms still sucks. I saw the top of the circle glitch goal (high glove side), the goalie flopper pass in front, and the short side post jammer (where the goalie doesn't hug the post).

I'm sure offline it's great, and granted, I only played three randoms (I won twice). Still, the cheap **** is still there, and yes, I know that the loser d-bags will always find a way to cheat/exploit the game. At least they all get XBL complaints and bad feedback from me...for what it's worth.

VERY IMPRESSED & SATISFIED!!!

i used to play tons of Online games since 2k3. i stopped last year coz the eagerness was dumped by cheesers online. early on, i tried playing EA prior to this patch & found out that there were still tons of cheap players (specially random players). finally after this patch, i have the enthusiasm to get back to online games.

i played 6 games tonite and got the record of 5-0-1. im not that great player but i love to play SIM and realistic hockey. the reason why i won these games because most of my opponents (4 of them) were trying to do some cheeze moves and only knows how to play "hit-the-guy-with-the-puck" kind of defense. at 1 point, my opponent was called 10 penalties and i was able to convert 5. i shut him out like 7-0.

THANK YOU EA FOR MAKING THIS PATCH. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO 2010 (hopefully these kind of style in the patch up is included right from the box next year)

The player will still have the attributes show up that way in the editor, but they will not get them in game.

The fix was for left and right aiming when going down screen (and in Broadcast camera). Unfortunately there's no way to make a code fix in the roster update.

the first game i played online post-patch had a combined 50 penalty minutes!!! (22 by me). i'm all for sim play, but this is a little ridiculous.
