NHL 15 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Full Details Included

[Vikes1]

That boost stuff, berserk mode, whatever....just suxs. It's just so damn obvious and imo, poorly done. It shoud of course simply be the cpu taking more chances....not turning superhuman. I'm way beyond getting pissed bout losing at a video game. But just hate feeling like i've wasted my time playing.

Sham,

I have seen the ROBO cpu too. Just during certain times in play now. You know, when the CPU needs a goal, those certain times...

I am going to start playoff mode tonight. Mizzou's posts made me try out the Blues and jeez either they are really good or they suit the way I play, but I find it really easy to score with them.

Fully expecting to get "tecmo'ed" at some point during the playoffs.

Do I wish there was player edit, a normal season mode and better practice options? Hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I having fun with NHL in this current state? Yes.

I do hope they add more to 15 before turning to full on 16 dev.

Just played another truly fun game. Came back from a 3-1 deficit in the 3rd to tie it. I ended up falling in a SO. But had a great time in defeat. Pretty sold on V1.04.

Yeah, it seems to be pretty solid, even though I'm on a bad losing streak right now. I have to remind myself not to get suckered into the corners in fear that I leave someone open in front of my net.

I've seen so many goal varieties though and none of them really had me scratching my head like before the patch.

Yep Mizz....i fall all too often for chasing the puck in my end. And it seldom ends well for me. It really seems like with 1.04, if I play pretty well I have at least a chance. Rather than berserk mode taking me out before i even get started. Or getting punished for daring to score. Seems that bs is toned down. Finally feel ok to get into GM mode.

Well I tried everything to limit the boost in playoff mode that I experienced with little success so I went down to pro skill level and though I dominated I decided to try something .

I switched back to Allstar skill level but it keep the default pro click sliders so for the most part I keep the click sliders on pro but Allstar for skill .

I have game speed at 0 do to high acceleration and strategies for both at 1 to lessen the constant screen changing I noticed and put my goalie reaction to 5 and theres at 4.

So far Im having fun interactive games again and since the slider attributes were kind of high from pro so I really dont notice the boost stuff when it kicks but either way things are more controllable for me .

The play is also a tad looser to create so for me its alot more enjoyable not always being mugged and me having to do it back for balance so hopefully Im good to go ! Man NHL 15 is alot of work but its worth it

There was actually a point after my 3-0 shutout and then going up 2-0 against LA I actually felt like I was getting too good at the game.. WOW.. that was short lived.

I previously gave my impression post-update on 20 minute periods. On default sliders I was seeing low scoring games.

I just finished a 9-6 game. So much for the low scoring games.
