NHL 16 Patch 1.04 Available Now For Xbox One & PS4, Full Details Included

[Gbpackerowner]

I'm wondering if I can either delete this patch on ps4 or delete and reinstall the game and deploy the patches I want?

I don't think so. It's either no patch or latest patch I believe. The problem with no patch was the game played with choppy video with any game speed under 2.

Bummer... I had the game playing just right... Now not so much

I just want to add my two cents and say that I'm glad they updated the Rangers' goal horn. I hadn't read the full patch notes beforehand, so when the updated horn blasted after I scored a goal in my Be A GM (noticeably louder than before), I was very pleased.

Yeah. What patch brought us clearly shows that these are all "improvements" for online gaming. For example they wanted to fix poke check spamming from behind. So what it did? Tripping penalties are a joke now because every time you sweep and it touches opponents legs it makes player dive on ice. It's automatic 2 minutes. There are no animations to be seen where player stumbled, dropped on both knees etc. Just that dive.

I'm also seeing decreased stick collisions. You can just sweep and there's no effect. Stick goes through everything and doesn't have much impact on hitting the puck.

I would love to have option to download whatever patch I would like to use along with tuner I would want to use. But because that's not possible we sim-style hockey fans are stuck with this arcade-patch.

I think you guys are crazy.

Did the game play well before? Yes. It produced a decent game of hockey and produced good stats. But there were also so many things wrong with the game before the patch.

Big differences since patch:

1. CPU no longer skates around in neutral zone and actually dumps the puck in. This was a huge pain before the patch and an extreme eye sore.

2. Players seem to be moving more realistically. It takes a game or two to get used to but I'm really enjoying the movement now, a lot less sliding, and a lot slower.

3. Puck isn't flying anymore. On clears, poke checks, and deflections, pucks are no longer flying half way around the rink in these instances anymore.

4. Shots are now way more varied. Guys are missing high and wide a lot more often and no longer am I seeing only 3 types of shots. Before you either missed the goal, hit the goalie in the stomach or the goalie made a glove save. Now I rarely see the goalie make a ridiculous glove save like I would almost every other possession before.

5. This point goes right along with #3 and #4. The goalies are much more realistic. They aren't catching everything, and deflections, as well as rebounds, are much more realistic looking.

I am still playing on my same exact super star sliders from pre patch and loving this game even more than before.

Nice job EA

I would love to try those sliders which can transform this crap to a gold. I think it all depends the sliders and playing style you are using. People see different things to be realistic and sim-style.

Great that you are having good times with new patch.
