NHL 13 Title Update Arrives Early Next Week

Unless I'm missing something, it looks like goalies are getting more buffs than nerfs. That seems like the opposite of what is needed.

I sure agree, Mike. I was pretty surprised at the amount of fixes. And the number of Tuners we've gotten as well. Excellent support this year!

A couple of big fixes for me are...

The pivot thing with/without the puck.

Sounds to me anyway, that shots being goals from sharp angles are toned down.

That long breakout pass the cpu likes using may be less accurate. [if I understood right]

Yeah...there's a few things that I don't see in this patch I wish were there. Such as the audio/visual settings saving in GM mode. And the cpu pass accuracy slider being more effective at the lower end. But imo too...yep, there's a lot there. So I'm very pleased with the support. And how quickly it came. Nice work, EAC.

It was around NHL 10 when he said that the AI was going to require MUCH more than just a patch to fix. I think that's why they added the Customize AI this year (Finally!), to give us something to help mask how bad it is. I don't see it being revamped, which is what it needs, this gen.

Hey fellow perth man here,

I find that it doesn't work for us aussies during certian times. I seem to find a game most of the time from 3am -7am if I am awake but in the afternoon I don't even try anymore. which is a real shame. At least I got my aus only gm league to keep me busy

Good news! The patch seems to be addressing a lot of issues. Like others, I would have liked to see goalies lateral quickness tuned down a bit, but it's not the case, so we'll see how it plays out.

Nice, Nice, Nice! I've really been impressed with EA's commitment to this game. Great job.

Audio and visual settings NOT saved in Be a GM or season mode?
