NHL 2K10 Patch List

[Shadow71]

The NHL 2K10 patch list has been posted.

Quote:

GAMEPLAY • Fixed soft crash with referee not dropping the puck when playing with slower speed settings. • Retuned the default sliders to make gameplay faster. • Retuned the speed for acceleration and launches, allowing the user to break out mid launch. • Players can now speed burst during crossover animations. • Pinning has now been made easier, and can be initiated with the check button at slower speeds. • Stick sweeps and poke checks retuned to more accurately knock the puck away when hitting the puck or stick rather than the puckhandler. • Retuned shot velocity on rebounds and loose pucks. • Retuned one-timer animations so players closer to the net will now deflect the puck rather than take slap shots. • One-timers are now more difficult and will be missed more often if the player isn’t in good position. • Briefly disable loose shots when sweeping your stick without the puck and then gaining possession. • Penalties are slightly reduced globally. • Retuned how the AI clears the puck on Penalty Kills. • Reduced the number of diving poke checks done by goalies. • Retuned defensive AI related to blue line pressure and defensive zone play. • AI will now better react to drop passes. • Slightly increased the aggressiveness of the AI in their own offensive zone if they are on a penalty kill. • More aggressive behaviors for offensive players after the puck enters the attacking zone. • User should now have better control over the player when in a shot block animation. • Players will now help out more in a pinning situation. • AI is more aggressive on defense during odd man rushes. ONLINE • Fixed de-sync related to custom soundtracks in online games. • Made default online difficulty harder in unranked games. • Add ability to sign in to cooperative franchise games from the Team Select screen, allowing for multiple users to play from the same console. • Fixed OT Losses not tracking correctly in online play. • Allow custom sliders to be used in unranked matches. • Fixed the bug where you will randomly gain control of the goalie in Team Up mode. • Fixed the issue so that users will always maintain the same color during Team Up mode. • Fixed the issue with the speed burst bar / player icon flickering in Team Up mode. • Fixed a disconnect issue that occasionally occurred while the server was down. • Fixed an occasional disconnect problem in league games when line changes are made. • Fixed an issue that would cause league games to sometimes abort at the end of the loading screen. • Fixed an issue when the leader of a Pick-Up party leaves the party in the lobby. GENERAL • Reduced puck shadow size by 20%. • In Reelmaker, added the ability to turn off the cursor like in replay (hit both bumpers simultaneously). • Fantasy Drafts now reset all player glove colors to team color instead of custom.

Via Ronnie.

You can probably expect the patch within a month, probably quite sooner. I will update you with an exact date when I have it.

[Scottdau]

My guess is before December.

It will definitely be interesting to see how the game plays after the patch.

True, if it truly does all this and does it well. I think this will be an amazing hockey game!
