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

[Splitter77]

the game as it stands right now is as good a hockey game has ever been for me.
tuner 1.06 on superstar with my sliders.
Never had such great games for this long of a playing period. Its been a solid 3/4 weeks of playing and these games are still great.

Hopefully next year they totally redo the franchise and add boxscores, more stats and other info around the league.

As fpr gameplay, next year they have to address the cpu defense at the defensive blueline, they have to redo the goalies, and maybe tinker with the cpu offensive strats as well.

What difference have you notice Mizz?

I'm still enjoying the heck outta the game since the latest update/tuner.

For me anyway....All-Star normal [with some slider adjustments] is all the challenge I can handle. I'm still struggling to win, but getting really fun, solid games. One problem I'm having now is, that my top line guys have really turned cold. Just haven't been getting those much needed goals from my top guns lately.

Less hits where the player falls down, they are stronger with the puck now.

I'm the same, AS with just a couple of minor tweaks and I'm in a funk. I'm 2-5-2 to start the season and having no luck with my 2nd and 3rd lines.

Ya Mizz...myself, I'm thinking the adaptive AI the game has had for a while now is pretty dang effective. Maybe more effective than I've ever really realized. I know for me anyway....I always seem to fall into the trap of playing the same way most of the time. Especially if something seemed to work for a while. I'm thinking that may very well be a major part of my struggles. And has been for sometime.

And imo...adaptive AI in a sports game [especially if it really works] is a huge, great addition to any sports game. To be honest Mizz...I kinda keep spacing out that it's there. Like a dope.

Thankfully, my owner wants me to win 35 games, I'm hoping that's doable.

Oh boy...can't remember, but if my owner said anything about 35 wins....I'm in deep trouble! I currently have 12 wins at the halfway point of season one. 12-20-8. I really like my settings...it's just that I haven't been playing very well lately. Well actually the whole season so far.
