BIG FAT THANK YOU EA and Redshirt_EA

[canucksss]

its official... i really like TUNER 1.04. after a disappointing year with NHL 12 with lack of penalties and poor gameplay. i thought NHL 13 will be a gold (because of the skating innovation) but burried to be forgotten (because of lack of penalties).

now, with some slight adjustmens to the sliders (game speed and accel., 3 penalties sliders, fatigue/recov, PRO and 9 min) this TUNER 1.04 made it ALMOST complete. im sure we're going to see vast improvements in the presentation in NHL 14

apprecaite Redshirt_EA for dropping by and really, genuinely concern for people finding this game hard to swallow because of penalty issue. i am one of the very vocal members who complain about this issue. but i would like to make this thread to express my joy in playing this game AGAIN! (give where the honor is due as they say),

THANK YOU EA and REDSHIRT_EA.

Yes, thank you very much! I am now enjoying the game more. Thank you for listening to us. By doing so, you have earned my money for NHL 14.

I agree it was great they made the adjusments and appreciate the effort. Just need a little more tweaking to make it more consistent and a little more and it will be perfect for me. I am still seeing some low totals, especially for the CPU, but certainly a good step in the right direction.

Thanks!

Great thread Canucksss!

I'd like to say thank you to Jason, too. He listened to our concerns, and acted. That's pretty cool. I believe I was playing last night with the redeployed V1.04 and had six penalty calls total. [10 minute periods] Imo...well within reason.

I got waxed by the Caps in that game 6-2...but that's another story. Really liked the cpu's aggression, and the calls seemed very reasonable. I'm pleased with V1.04. Thanks again, Jason!

[canucksss]

if i may add.... i hope there'll be REAL NHL season so i can watch (specially Canucks vs Wilds..since they got 2 star players) games. but because of this improvement in NHL 13, i wouldnt mind if there'll be no REAL season, so i have more time to play the game and so somehow satisfy my hockey thirst

I'd like to echo the thanks. The game's solid enough now. Lower penalty calls today but I think the pattern seems to be that if the CPU is winning or the game is tied then he's not going to commit infractions as easily - that's natural enough and I didn't actually see many things that should have been CPU pens so I'm content with things -apart from my poor defending.

Definitely seeing more calls in the third when the players get tired so might tinker with fatigue a little.

Overall, it's a great tuner and the game is far more stable than 12, so after a few weeks pain, offline players are a happy bunch. Genuinely don't know who to start my season mode with. Islanders? Canucks?, heck I really enjoyed playing a few games with the Oilers last night.

I'll add my gratitude. Thanks Redshirt, especially for your communication on the subject. I know the lack of communication between developer and consumer can be frustrating, but I really appreciated an update on the penalty situation. Thanks for all of your hard work. I can now finally start my Be a GM!

you guys on xbox or ps3? ps3 seems to be getting a lot of freezing issues with 1.04. i really like the tuner but i had enough freezes in nhl 12. dont need more in 13. hope they take note this year instead of ignoring all the people that experience the freezes.
