Usually, gameplay changes apply to all modes, even previously started dynasties/BAPs. However, game mode specific changes -- such as BaGM trade logic -- require the mode to be started after the update is installed to take effect.

So most likely, yes, you'll have to start a new BAP or GM for the tweaked trade logic to be in place.

Anyone notice the board-pinning changes? That's a big one for me as well. I found myself feeling a little guilty when playing 1v1 against friends when a mis-timed pin still sucked them in...

Also, I don't suppose anyone has tried manual passing? I love using it and hope the tweak to user pass speed is a positive one.

Liking the changes to manual passing.

The CPU's defense is far smarter now and more aggressive on PP's, IMO.

This game pwnz! =]

God damn it, i've been playing over 100 games in BAP with 10 minutes rounds...no simming what so ever FOOOOOOOOOKK!

Then again does trade logic affect BAP? Oh well....what can you do?!

Seems like more realistic rebounds.

The board play suction issue seems to be alot better with this patch. In about 5 games I also managed to score a few goals with wrist shots in front of the goalie, so that seems to have been addressed also. Games seem to be alot more intense as far as rebounds and overall scoring. I'm liking it !!!



Wristshots:

The wristshot goal percentage could actually be increased even more if it was at all in the patch, maybe I have just had more luck with them since I installed the patch..I dunno. This goal could have fallen in the one-timer catagory, but this is the type of wrist shot I have seen more of since installing the patch.

Hopefully the next tuning set will increase goals like this even more, as I like them being as much of a threat of going in as are cross crease one-timers and hard slap shots.

Supposedly,the patch was to also fix some freezing issues as well. I still try to select the San Antonio Rampage during Play Now, and it still never goes to the select jerseys screen. I need to shut off my PS3 and restart it. Like to see if it happens in BAGM.

It doesn't freeze during BAGM, but it does happen in Play Now and Battle for the Cup modes, and it needs to be fixed !!!!
