First of, thanx for your response Redshirt!!!

I think the latest ROSTER UPDATE #4 is messed up.

So if you load ROSTER#3, it seems everything is fine with the new patch and Tuner V.1.06. Penalties here are fine , between 2-5 CPU Calls.
I think to be safe, just delete your USER PROFILE and start all new.

Iam on ALLSTAR/HARDCORE, SEASON MODE, OFFLINE PLAYER.

i am still testing these...... (just played 2 games in a row for now)

It was perfect before aside from pivoting from frontwards to backwards skating.

I agree, EASHL is just an up and down speedfest now. Its harder to set up in the zone since the opponent can skate incredible fast and agile, you end up getting sucked into the up and down game since you get odd man rushes right back. I would pay $100 for the game that I played online in week one, hell I'd pay $50 to have the speed burst button removed. and my guy is insanely fast himself, the problem is with the new caps is everyone is maxed out in physical attributes now. theres no slower players anymore, no hard choices to make. we got the caps we were asking for, but waaaaay to many XP points to spend. for NHL14, please lower the caps or lower the corresponding attribute values for them. and please give us less XP, everyone is great at everything right now once you get legend 1 let alone legend 3. doesn't even resemble hockey out there anymore..

Every goal seems to be short side shelf on me by the cpu..

finally have a bunch of games under my belt with the patch and newest tuner.
Gotta say, so far its the best the game has been this year.
I was scoring 6-7 goals at will on SS level earlier this month.

Now the goalies are perfect for me. Im averaging maybe 3 goals a game with 8 min periods. Shots seem to be around 30 per team..

penalties about 3 per team. So far so good.

Next year just fix up how the cpu D allows you to gain the zone too easily, and totally revamp the goalies ( for styles, differential, rebound distance and speed, fatigue, and have them cover the puck up instead of gloving it ahead)

But as the goalies in this game are, I think this latest tuner is the best they can get without totally rebuilding them.

Great job with the game so far guys. Really enjoying it.

Hello together,

after reading all the pro and cons (mainly cons ) about the new patch,
I decided not to install the new software for the game.
Now, when I start the game I am asked for updateing the patch.
I click to "no" and start the game. Unfortunately, I am asked each 5 minutes now, that a new software is found and I could download now.
Is there a way to stop that reminder in the game or do I have to change something in the PS3 system?

Thank you for your help and enjoy the game
For me it is only half the fun as the NHL seems not to happen this season.

Cheers

Offline, I still love this patch. Online, I'm wondering what happened. It's like I don't even know how to play the game anymore. I try to play hockey, it doesn't work, I try to play it like a video game, it doesn't work. I even copy what the other team is doing, even that doesn't work. It doesn't make sense.

EA really has to do something about AI quality in BAP. Just finished playing several games tonight. Computer passing went from the usual garbage to just plain comical. Why do the computer players dumb the puck before you can call for a pass every time your on the PK??? Call for a pass does not work very often, when it does puck is way behind player, way a head of player or complete wring direction. When a new tuner set comes out they make the passing less accurate. I don't understand!!! I've been buying these games for 20 years... This might be my last

The online experience has become so horrible I feel as though theres some AI setting that I don't know about..
