Yes.

I suspect some of the people who aren't seeing any differences might have it set to earlier versions. If you left your Tuning Version set to Latest it should just use the most recent one. If you set it to a specific version you'll have to change it yourself.

It is in My Nhl 13/Settings/Gameplay Settings/General/Tuner Set Version and you want to set it in the front end (not in-game or it'll only be changed for the duration of that game) and then save settings before quitting the Be a GM (or whatever) mode.

i have noticed with 1.04 IMO it gets arcade like. the aspects of 1.01 that made the game realistic seem to be gone. ive had a total of 9 games with 1.04 and some things with the goalies I hadnt seen before make me think about switching back.

Had 2 games today and had the following occur (and NO i dont believe in a cpu comeback before a flame war begins, but this irritated me today)

1. had a goalie go to reach down and put his glove on the puck only to have him scoop it and go to pass. instead of passing it he moved his glove in a way that you would think he was making a glove save and threw the puck in my own net.

2. had multiple 2 on 1's against me and on a few the goalie moved over to the guy without the puck, moved FAR out and seem to have froze. the puck carrier simply took it to the net and put it in the now vacant net while my goalie never moved at all after going to the other man.

3. Up 2 goals with 40 left the cpu shoots and scores from the point. they win the face off, bounce off 2 checks of mine, shoot it THROUGH a defense man that went down to block it and score. next face off I win they drill me (good hit no doubt) put a wrister on net that my goalie never moves on (no traffic in front) and score to tie. Next play I get called for a penalty at center ice yet MY GOALIE skates to the bench and they score on a wide open net. Wth just happened?

Exactly like me! Here the same, its an arcade game now!
Cant believe we are the only one seeing this!!!
Strange thing is, the first few games with v.1.04 were awesome games, then it went into arcade gamestyle, way to hard, way 2 fast, clunky robotic moves, the ice friction is gone...
Skating feels not natural anymore...and so on.

Cant play with 1.04! Back to v.1.00.

OFFPLAYER, season mode, ALLSTAR\Hardcore here.

Do you have any easy way to capture and post a video? Even something recorded with a phone and put on DropBox/YouTube(/whatever) so that we can see what you are getting. I'd recommend rechecking your settings. V1.04 didn't change any of the things you are seeing, but that doesn't mean that there couldn't be some other strange problem going on.

Guys... If it seems "arcadish" then just use the sliders to tone some things down. Hyper speed is typically equated with "arcade." Easy fixes: lower game speed and slow down the passes.

I noticed I had to lower the goalie screen effect - seemed like everything was getting past the goalie. I feel the game plays slightly faster with this new tuner, but that can always be toned down. '

I don't see this "arcade" idea, provided some sliders get tweaked. Like any other sports video game, I create sliders by what I SEE in the game itself.... That typically means slowing things down a touch... I'd suggest putting game speed at 2...

i didnt think to record it, but if it happens again I will. I know it made changes to the goal tending, but I was surprised to see him freeze on the 2 on1 's I mentioned and the turn and throw it in the net was a shocker lol.

So I hear there is a 1.04a tuner that was released after the initial 1.04 tuner...can anyone tell me if the 1.04a has taken care of the freezing issues seen with the initial 1.04 tuner? I was having issues with freezing that's why I ask and haven't had a chance to play much the last few days. Thanks

I had my first 5 on 3 pp too gopher! When it happened I couldn't believe it. In that game the Canucks gave me 7 PP opportunities. I can't recall ever receiving such rich treasure like this before in this series.

This is quickly becoming one of my favourites. I dont find this game frustrating to play. I am really enjoying it.
