Finally got around to playing this with the new tuner! It's awesome!

Only played one game so far, but you could tell there was an immediate difference.

I had my first 5 on 3 PP in NHL 13, too!

CPU penalties: 4
My penalties: 3

One minor problem: Faceoff difficulty slider at 4 I win like 70% of faceoffs and when i bump it up to 5 I lose 70% of them. Difference is huge...

# 163 Taku @ 10/01/12 04:30 PM

I am. Its just that one click of a slider could mean less difference in that difficulty. But as I said its minor problem.

This is where I'm at too, Taku.

I've wished to myself I could set the slider at 4.5.

But ya...hopefully with more practice we'll both get better in the circles. Some games I've done fairly well, so I am seeing a little improvement with my %. But still a work in progress.

I must say... New tuner = game is now amazing. I was up until 4:00 am playing - couldn't stop. Great job by EA - had a TON of variety in the games I played - sometimes I got hardly any calls, and sometimes I got a bunch. Good stuff...

Man, I wish you'd stop saying nice things about this game, MK. I was hoping to hold off on NHL 13 until the Lockout was lifted, but not so sure I can hold off too much longer.

This game freakin' rocks now, best ever NHL video game. Ten games into my new BeaGM offline mode and the games have varied from a goaltenders dual to a vintage 80's shoot-out. Then to top it off, I just had a penalty and fight filled Sabres-Bruins game... unfortunately for me, the Bruins completely destroyed me physically and on the score board.

So when a new Tuner set is downloaded you are able to use it in, lets say, a Be a GM that was already underway?

(Copied from other thread that asked the same question)

Yes.

I suspect some of the people who aren't seeing any differences might have it set to earlier versions. If you left your Tuning Version set to Latest it should just use the most recent one. If you set it to a specific version you'll have to change it yourself.

It is in My Nhl 13/Settings/Gameplay Settings/General/Tuner Set Version and you want to set it in the front end (not in-game or it'll only be changed for the duration of that game) and then save settings before quitting the Be a GM (or whatever) mode.

Skating feels not natural anymore...and so on. Cant play with 1.04! Back to v.1.00. OFFPLAYER, season mode, ALLSTAR\Hardcore here.

Do you have any easy way to capture and post a video? Even something recorded with a phone and put on DropBox/YouTube(/whatever) so that we can see what you are getting. I'd recommend rechecking your settings. V1.04 didn't change any of the things you are seeing, but that doesn't mean that there couldn't be some other strange problem going on.

# 171 mkharsh33 @ 10/01/12 08:51 PM

Guys... If it seems "arcadish" then just use the sliders to tone some things down. Hyper speed is typically equated with "arcade." Easy fixes: lower game speed and slow down the passes.

I noticed I had to lower the goalie screen effect - seemed like everything was getting past the goalie. I feel the game plays slightly faster with this new tuner, but that can always be toned down. '

I don't see this "arcade" idea, provided some sliders get tweaked. Like any other sports video game, I create sliders by what I SEE in the game itself.... That typically means slowing things down a touch... I'd suggest putting game speed at 2...

So I hear there is a 1.04a tuner that was released after the initial 1.04 tuner...can anyone tell me if the 1.04a has taken care of the freezing issues seen with the initial 1.04 tuner? I was having issues with freezing that's why I ask and haven't had a chance to play much the last few days. Thanks

I had my first 5 on 3 pp too gopher! When it happened I couldn't believe it. In that game the Canucks gave me 7 PP opportunities. I can't recall ever receiving such rich treasure like this before in this series.

This is quickly becoming one of my favourites. I dont find this game frustrating to play. I am really enjoying it.

# 174 tbigwhoop @ 10/02/12 03:29 AM

I don't have video but I just had something similar happen tonight. Playing GM Connected and was having really good games. The last set of games I scored 2 times out of 5 games. The CPU was very aggressive and quick and so was I at times. I found myself bouncing off the boards and off players at times unlike before.

I did change my settings at the main menu today and if I had to guess it would be that player acceleration went up. I will test tomorrow, had to shut down. Does changing my main settings change the settings on a GM Connected mode already in progress?

Could it be hardcore mode?

I played with my friend offline in our season mode and the first games with v.1.04 were awesome!!!! We both loooved the new tuner, way more penalties, many hits, agressive CPU and so on.... After 3 or 4 Games (i think) without changeing everything it went into arcade hockey! I stoped the game, checked the sliders ..nothing dif. I cant tell you whats wrong and how it comes! :-( maybe we are nuts... i ll delete my settings/profile and start new from the ground of... i ll test it again...

Sort of on the same topic ... but i have noticed as well that i will play 3-4 games that are great and then next day come back and all of a sudden cant score a goal for the life of me YET the sliders havent been touched !!! Last night I scored 2 goals in 4 games against the CPU in BeAGM .... but the night before I scored a total of 12 goals in 4 games LOL

hello guys

first of all, sorry for my bad english. i'm from switzerland, so english is not the language which i usually need to communicate.

im playing in the Be a GM mode. i've tested all the tuners, from version 1.00 to 1.04. but it seems, that i have always the same amount of penalties. i never see a game with 4-5 penalties for each team. since i use tuner 1.04 i see about 1-3 penatlies for each team. do i have to start a new career to become the effect of all changes which came with the tuner 1.04? are there any slider settings which you can recommend me?

Hi,
I don't think you need to start over.
Check that the tuner 1.04 is in effect in the settings in your current BaGM.

How long periods do you play?
On the higher end of what you see (3 penalties for each team) I'd say that's pretty darn ok if you play shorter periods, but maybe not of you play longer ones.

Also worth noting, in my opinion, it feels like when I take the lead, and outplay the CPU they are more likely to take penalties. So don't expect the CPU to take 5 penalties if they're winning 5-0.
Also, I think the fatigue has big effect, it seems penalties are more frequent when the players are tired (and gets out of position easier)...

Yup, if your getting your *** wooped by the cpu (like I usually do) they won't take any penalties, which is to be expected. Put pressure on them and then they'll start.

# 180 Raccoon @ 10/02/12 10:53 AM

Thanks for your answers.

I play with 10min periods. So i think it's not enough when i see only 1-3 penalties for each team.

Should i increase the fatigue effect to force more penalties?
