Some of us like to adjust those players that are either under rated or over rated(Flyers defense, MDZ an 85?) along fixing goalie pads, or giving our newly drafted goalie good looking pads. Some might want to boost their favorite player or prospect. Gives us the ability to do what we want. Look what the Revamped team has done with NHL14 after they properly adjusted the ratings

BECAUSE EA DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE GAMERS WHO LOVE NHL!!!!

I've given up since NHL 13. I had a free copy of NHL 15 for PS4 and it didn't last for 3 weeks, exchanged it and used it to purchase another game. 15 is a complete joke...an insult to NHL avid fans....complete waste of money. And I hope EA suffers financially this year so they could go back and producing a real game that represents NHL teams and players, or at least very close to the actual team/players.

You do realize that you made this post on a site that is a majority of age 20+ who are out of their kids days of creating 99 OVR players haha. Not to mention on this forum sim is what most people want. If people want a game to be sim I don't think they are creating 99 OVR players. Needless to say, editing players is a massive deal especially to this forum. EA has possibly the worst set of rosters, player rankings, and equipment inaccuracies of any sports video game. In order to fix that you need to edit players. Editing players ratings makes a world of difference in this game unless you want every player playing like Crosby. If you are fine with that then that's probably why you can't understand why people want the player editor.

Ok Im really impressed so far with this update and being I always play the same way on Playoff Mode Allstar Default so theres no guessing on what Im seeing because im not a big tweaker .

Right off the the bat EA NHL has brought back some real interaction to gameplay and as an example when the game first came out I could block pucks naturally and even hold in pucks when the AI PK tried to clear it if I made the right adjustment .

But after the first updates alot of that stuff just became automatic almost robotics but In two games Im not seeing much of that and Im very impressed so far and I guess EA did listen at least offline gameplay wise

Sounds promising...

The game has been a mess since the first tuner and then the patch. Robo CPU and berserk mode and comeback AI.

Hopefully it goes back to "normal" from release. Where only penalties were broken...

Who knows its only been a few games and I know playoff mode and other modes always played different but when I have time Im gonna try this update on play now and see how it compares to when the game released .

Penalties Im not going there as I proved my point in that thread and my character was questioned but if you check a post I made a few days ago after after the roster update I was getting 6 to 7 PP a game on 8 min periods but losing 3-0 , 3-1 in 7 games.

Cool find : So I lowered the cpu goalie reaction from 4 to 3 and the cpu stopped playing over aggressive and my PP went down to 1 or 2 PP a game from 6 or 7 as the AI knew the goalie was no longer a brick wall and my friend also tried it so its kinda weird how the AI works as the Goalie Reaction actually tied into the defense and how they play and then my next 3 games were 4-3 , 7-6 and 5-4 so I might have been better off increasing my shot accuracy to improve my scoring .

Note : I dont know if its because of the slower game speed or AI but those suction plays are now gone almost where your stuck in animation but who knows when full blown tilted ice is going and its so nice visually not to have the strategy box on all game !

Also noticed that the weird passing when I try and pass behind my net along the boards and it went past my goalie crease on a weird angle is gone !
