picked up today. xb1. i'm loving it so far except for a few one major problem. im getting penalties in the game with penalty sliders maxed but all the calls are going to the cpu. im playing 10 minute periods and for my first 3 games in be a gm season mode the cpu had a total of 18 power plays to my 3! also any one know how many tuner updates there are? it just says 1.0 and latest.

Maybe it's because I haven't played NHL for about 10 years and therefore I don't miss whatever modes were removed from the game last year, but I think this game in gm mode is a good game and fun to play - with some major slider adjustments.

I normally don't "joystick" games. I use manage mode in MLB the Show, coach mode in Madden. The only game I joysticked in the past was FIFA but I'm going to pass on purchasing FIFA this year and stick with NHL.

If I had played the game last year maybe I would understand the complaints but I'm enjoying the game.

Tuners are different this year only V100 and latest to pick from for now at least on ps4 , for penalties turn down cpu teamates penalty slider and try to turn when cpu attacks you to draw penalties , also cycle the puck in your offensive zone to draw Penalties .

Since the update everything is more generated as I used to draw penalties now I kinda just get them depending on whats unfolding and many are off the puck .

UPDATE : Is anyone elses noticing after the patch when something key is happening on the ice the magical bouncing puck comes into play as the catalyst ?

thanks for clarifying the tuners. i will try adjusting that slider and see if that helps. i do cycle the puck in the offensive zone a lot but still im drawing only about one pp a game. the cpu gets away with trips and slashes all the time and i get them called against me constantly!

Just picked this game up on xbone and I'm really digging the gameplay thus far.

Btw, if anyone wants the $25 discount code for the NHL Gamecenter Live, just PM me and it's yours. First one to do so obviously.

I really don't care to read through all of this forum but is this game worth $35? I was thinking about doing the Toys R Us deal. The last NHL I played was 12 and I've played it off and on for the past few years. I'm a big Be A Pro fan too if anyone can comment on that mode that enjoys it, I heard you can't sim shifts though?

Can someone give me advice on how to play defense. I'm repeatedly getting burned by the opposing team's skaters. It seems the controls/skating is way different/harder than the last NHL game that I played (13 on PS3).

Ok so I i bought the digital download and the game installed and then it tells me that it also downloaded the update file and installed it as well. When i go into the game, all I can play is Rangers and Kings and everything else is grayed out. There is an installer that says it's at 5% but it's been like that for an hour. Anybody have any ideas?
