Nerfing one of their most significant changes to the gameplay in years (although it sorely needed it) is a big move. We'll see how much of a difference it makes with the one timers once we actually play it. This literally became the meta in online play thanks to the overboosted accuracy so it should be a good change for both the competitive and sim crowds for the sake of game balance.

Interested to see how much the forecheck effectiveness changes post-patch too.

Agreed. I do hope they make it specific to ‘One-Tee’ going forward as well. Would be nice if it was just an addition for the guys with that trait (and toned down bonus as well), just so you aren’t able to activate it with 4th line guys or defensemen that rarely score.

Patch is out, online access is down for the moment so no way to know if there's a roster update (coaches) yet. Pretty good chance the one timer accuracy change isn't in yet either because that's specifically mentioned as a Gameplay Tuner item (separate download)

But it will be pretty obvious once you have this patch installed with all the PWHL stuff featured now.

Coaches were not updated. Boston is autogenerated and Blues still have Bannister.

Yea, noticed that. Bummer. Is Montgomery just out of the game then? I didn't see him in the list of staff to hire either.

Definitely odd, was he on Boston originally?
