NHL 13 Tuner 1.04 Available, Details Included

[Clipse79]

I think a lot of people are missing a key fact here. Team being used and team playing. Take a look at the link. If your using or playing a team who is known for going to the box you should see if its opposite then its normal. Take the bottom 3 teamsthey go to the box on average 3 times a game if that. I think this game takes into a lot of consideration of things. Also team strategies. And goalie interferance is non exsitant. They need to fix the net coming loose 5 times a game

Same here. That is the only thing that has held me back from picking this title up. Realistic penalties is a must.

I just have till wait till the annual Xmas price reduction down to 39.99 and I am getting this puppy. I have played against my brother in-law who has it and we have had a great time. I love the new skating and the physics have come full circle. NHL is a tremendous series. I skipped 12 and kept playing 11 but loved the demo for 1 and the retail is tight. But I play offline 99% of the time and I wanted to make sure this game was tuned right.

Nice job EA Canada.

Well I was one of those who complained and complained because of the lack of penalties. I can say without a doubt you should pick NHL 13 up now as I am really loving the game now.

Old or new, tuner set 1.04 sucks on Pro defaults.

I'm not seeing many penalties on the CPU, and the CPU forechecking and slot defense are way more aggressive than the defense in those zones mustered by your CPU-controlled teammates. So the only way you can compensate is to go head-hunting for big hits, which is probably what EA and its target market want.

Too bad EA's developers don't respect solid, positional hockey.

Did anyone get a tuner update message today? I did and grabbed it but the latest update I have is 1.04, even tho I already had 1.04. I will say it seems the penalties are now way up on the CPU side w/o even touching the sliders.

How many minute periods are you playing? And did you move all three sliders to max out the penalties.

Because with 10 minute periods and those three sliders maxed, I'm getting great results with everything else being default Pro settings.
