NHL 13 Title Update and Tuner 1.06 Available Now, Post Your Impressions (PS3, 360)

[jake19ny]

Hmm Im seeing mixed reviews on the update and tuner....some say its great some say its ruined the game. Not sure what to make of it and Im afraid to download it. Im pretty happy overall with the way I have the game now and the updates and tuners ruined NHL 12.......I may just stay with what I have. Because once I delete my current files I wont get them back if I hate the new stuff.

There has to be a bug or problem of some kind when installing these tuners. I've seen that fast gamespeed few times and weird physics too and I have fixed them. My game is not fast, Its actually pretty slow on my sliders and its not fast even with default gamestyles Normal/Hardcore. This could be the reason why some people aren't getting penalties called too.

Now this is pretty quickly done, I've done this 4 or 5 times:

1) Delete your profile in NHL13

2) Restart your Console & NHL13

3) When prompted download "Game Modes Tuner" first and then download "New Tuner Update"

4) Go to your settings from Main menu and adjust your rules and gamestyle/sliders and choose 1.06 as tuner version, do not choose latest(dont know if it matters but I think it makes more sense to put in tuner version manually) and save&exit

5) Load your Be a GM or Season or whatever you might be playing

6) Go into your settings, they should be as you have saved them before. Change something in settings like put tuner version 1.05 there and save&exit. Then put settings back how you want them and save&exit again.(this is only because there will be "new" settings saved despite the fact you didn't change anything)

7) Adjust custom camera and controller settings back to your liking because they went back to default when new profile was created

5, 6 and 7 can be skipped if you're testing in Play now obviously. Hope that helps.


Your saved games will work normally, your Custom AI files will be safe too. I don't know about Created plays but i dont think they work as they should anyway...

Haven't played this game for a few days, but have grabbed the latest update and tuner. Seeing mixed results, so I'm hoping this game hasn't taken a turn for the worse... Is the problem stemming from the update OR the tuner? Or does anyone know? Thanks!

I pretty much take anything written over at the EA forums with a grain of salt. Kids you know.

I did exactly what was said above, I deleted my profile and created a new one. I am getting excellent games with the new tuner, and penalties being called pretty often actually.

-no more "floaty" skating, players feel more heavy?
-slower gamespeed?
-no more weird physics like players making "helicopter" 360 degree spins after being hit?
-more penalties called?

I deleted everything and reinstalled it all from scratch because I was having no penalties, floaty skating and faster gameplay.

It is now improved - Lots of penalties and heavier skating. Thanks for the info.

I ll test a few games more but for now i dont like NHL13. Here are the most Problems (just my 2cents): speeds and agility are through the roof it feels like players are weightless now! seeing even more idiotic 180 degree angle short side than before faceoff loop (sometimes) cpu still 90-100% passing in the neutral zone The new skating system might as well not even exist anymore. All human skaters are back to being way too equal, especially getting around D-men hitting (physic engine) is still useless tho, works far better to just skate in there way so they run into u to slow down I think there is more.... I actually did what Redshirt_EA recommended, about deleting your player profile and then redoing it. But with no success. I ll try it again... (wont give up for now!) OFFLINE/Co-op Xbox Player here

None of these things are meant to happen with the patch, and I don't think it is what most people are experiencing (including myself). I don't know how to account for what's happening, I'll be interested to hear if resetting things helps for you.

What mode(s) are you using?
