this is exactly why I'm not touching this latest tuner.

Thanks for the update, Redshirt. Nice work getting screens & deflections tuning into non-OTP modes. I like the sound of lowering acceleration for online play and I hope it helps somewhat with the stop & go skating you can't really do on ice.

One question if I may -- does increasing shot accuracy have any effect on the AI shooting tendencies? In other words, would higher accuracy possibly mean more shots by the CPU, or is this strictly aimed at opening up goal-scoring?

You could go back to 1.01 after downloading 1.03, we just won't be able to go back to the first version of 1.03 after downloading the second version of 1.03. I think...

The way the system works is that all of the versions are in one file and there's a limit on the size of it. We're getting close to the limit of that file size so I need to be economical with the number of versions that are kept in it. I'm hoping to get rid of that limitation for NHL11 but for now I've got to work around it as best I can.

Another update already?

Awesome.

Yes!

This is honestly my only complaint with the game right now.

So tired of seeing those "wind up" wrist shots freeze the goalie from 20 feet out with no screen in place.

This is as close to a money goal as there is in the game right now.

Just wanted to chime in. I was loving the game before this tuner set, but the little tweaks have been welcome.

Overall I'm just overjoyed at how good a game of hockey I have this game playing with my sliders on SS. There are so many subtle little hockey plays I can make on hardcore mode, and I think it's on par with The Show at how well it captures a sport.

Only real gripe is the cpu attackers pulling up and dancing in the neutral zone. I'd like to see them chip the puck along the boards a little more and try to at least create battles for the puck down the ice. Other than that, thanks Redshirt and the guy on the NHL team for another great game.

when i turned on my xbox it didnt say there was an update but a new tuner set was that the update?

and when i pressed X how would i know if i downloaded it right it didnt take anytime to download (hence

no download screen) is this normal?

I haven't played NHL in awhile...but now that Football season is over for me, I plan on playing a lot of NHL.

Is this tuner set an automatic download when I start the game or do I need to DL it manually?
