there is only one regular helmet with slots available. its a ccm helmet!! i equipped my player with it already. no regular sticks, gloves, or skates with slots (other than kanes).

I was thinking the same thing...LOL. This also means that I didn't feel much difference when playing the game after the patch was supposedly been installed. Fortunately, I liked the game from the beginning so if the patch has been successfully installed and it does improve on all of the issues mentioned, I am all for it.

I definitely noticed the difference in the strength of the passing and in BAP mode the CPU defense seems more aggressive about keeping me from hanging out in front of the goal. The boardplay seems better as well.

On the PS3 if you go to the game data utility folder, and look for NHL 10 then click info, it will have the exact file size and version. I'm not sure about the 360, the path where the patch is saved to might be in a different location.

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 !!!!

It happens in Season Mode, too. I was hoping this freezing issue would have been corrected in this patch (maybe hidden in it or something), but my game still freezes as you described when I try to play the first game in my Abbotsford season.

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. http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/12511997 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.

That's big. The lack of clean goals was really holding the game back for me. Too many one-timers and rebounds make the game feel too arcadish.
