What difficulty do you play?
Do you have any adjustments on the CPU Difficulty slider?

I'm not sure, but I guess the latter could be used to tune the face off, unfortunately you're tuning other aspects of the CPU difficulty as well.

Do these tuners include the previous tuners as well? Since playing with 1.05, I only had 2 penalties in my last game. Prior, using 1.04, each team was getting 2-3 each.

If everything works as it should, the changes made are based on the latest tuner.

So 1.05 tuner is 1.04 tuner +/- the changes mentioned.

If it was only one game, I wouldn't worry. I've played a few on 1.05, and had plenty of penalties, just like 1.04

So true, Jez.

NHL [thankfully] varies around so much from game to game, you really don't want to judge anything after just a game or two. Although I'm sure guilty of doing this myself. Yep Jez...if they adjusted the penalties even further, I'd probably start moving the slider down from max. I'm satisfied where we're at now.

I play on All-Star Normal with a few tweaks, CPU dfficulty is at 0. I may increase it just to test whether it affects it, as you say it may affect some other things aswell so might not be a long term solution and i've got a bad enough record as it is so don't want to help the CPU out much more!

Maybe I should just leave the slider at 5 and just get better at face-offs, should happen over time.

Using Matt's new roster, PHI (Me) Vs. NYI, I rattled off 6 consecutive penalties against me, shots in the period were 21 NYI 1 PHI. All different varieties, I just couldn't get out of the box lol. Very Philadelphia/Pittsburgh from last season, but in the cyberworld Bryz isn't that much of a sieve and I ended up winning 3-0. Final shots were 35 - 23.

This was all Pro default sliders with a bump in CPU difficulty, the only way I play.

I'd say the penalty problem doesn't exist anymore lol.

In fact, with Matt's rosters, Tuner 1.05 and Puck size and shadow Authentic, this is HANDS DOWN the best hockey game I've ever played.

new 1.05 Tuner is really good. My only complain is online, too much figure skating. It's getting a bit ridiculous.

Some online kids are turning this simulation into a figure skating championship,. Skating engine should not permit it simply because this is not physically possible to turn left, right, left, right, stop,accelerate like this.

I don't know if they will ever be able to get rid of the slalom skating. I thought the new engine would do the trick but at least it's WAYYY less prevalent than in previous versions.
