If you want to use the original Tuner, go to my thread (or Northmans) and there is info on how to do so.
We use 'out of box' Patch (some call it Tuner) and the gameplay is better then any Patch update since then. It also makes a diff which Tuner (1.00 or 1.01) you use with most recent Patch.

I heard the second Tuner (what we call Patch)(we call the 1.00 and 1.01 the Tuner) was the better of them. We use 'out of box' which is better then the ones after the second.
Be nice to select like 1.00 or 1.01
Pretty pleased with my latest sliders but till can't start a season due to woeful rosters. I looked back to last year and EA released a roster update on November 13 and December 10. As of the December one a ton of AHL players and random guys went or were missing. Looks like I'm going to create my own possibly using the default original. I will just create all the missing guys myself. Lol at least my version Eichel will have a play by play name.
So I couldn't find a questions thread (stopped looking after page 3) and didn't want to start a new one so I'll ask here.
Can you play an Olympic style tournament with international teams with this game?
I see the foreign leagues in the play now menu but I can't find a way to set this up there or in the playoff menu.
Thanks.

I'm not one to complain usually. And really, this isn't a complaint. But it was wild. Just played a 6 on 6 game on EASHL. After 1 period we were up 6-0. Only one winger and one dman quit from the other team, which was great. Glad they stuck around to play.
That being said, all of a sudden, we were trying to pass and the puck was going in every direction except towards our target. When it did go towards our target, they couldn't receive it. Our passing percentage after the 1st was like 76 percent. After the second it was like 61.
We couldn't pick up loose pucks. Every, EVERY, poke or blocked shot went right their guys. Bottom line, we lost, 8-6. We hit 6 posts in the 2nd and 3rd combined. It wasn't even frustrating. It was quite funny, try to pass up the boards, only to have the pass go to the middle, right on the stick of the other team.
End of game passing percentage was like 58 percent for us. It was bad. We were still playing positional hockey. Nothing we could do. Couldn't pick up loose pucks. Couldn't intercept passes. Couldn't make a pass. Couldn't get a shot through. It was wild.

I just played a game where the puck went right through my goalies pads.. his pads were on the ice and the puck just went right through them. I watched the replay 5x and it's like his pads are invisible.
I think I'm done with this game. I need a break.

The skating, hitting, and shooting all feel the same. I'm still struggling along with the sliders. I do have moments where it's pure fun, and I get lost for a bit...but they're usually ruined when what was a really fun and tight game of hockey turns into a 7-4 scoring fest, despite shot power and accuracy being as low as possible (without ruining the enjoyment. Having your top scorer miss the net every time just to compensate for braindead goalies just gets old) and having the goalie sliders maxed out, even though that leads to absurd sliding and diving goals that ruin good plays. It's all in the name of cancelling out the fact that the goalies completely miss the saves they should make, and routinely make the ones that should be high percentage scoring chances. The AI just needs a massive overhaul.

We tried once again to have a playoff series at my place. Big mistake. After a total of 5 games, we switched to another game. Every game was the same ... One player opens scoring, the other player answers back, until about halfway through the 3rd, then they attempt to mix it up so we won't see a pattern.
The playoff series was so stupid, after every goal the other team was literally given every advantage to score, we felt like our hands were being held, not an ideal situation.
We ended up playing pro evo 16 and doing home run Derby's in mlb 15

Hopefully the patch is a step forward and not backwards at this point. I'm encouraged by how large it is.

Well guys a few more parting impressions as nothing should be this hard and with no real pucks physics and gimped boosted gameplay as the challenge Im done for the season and sadly put NHL 16 on feebay .
Cant believe all of the real physics they added at the start of NHL 15 are gone and much of the gameplay has now return to NHL 12 and 13 ?
I think the final straw was when I played my friend online last night to get a trophy and I out shot him 50-10 , controlled 90% of faceoffs and big hits , rang 5 goal posts and even won a fight and lost in shootout 1-0 .
He also accidentally pulled his goalie for 3 minutes and I couldnt score even from 10 ft in front the net as each time the puck took a weird sideways angle ?
Well good luck to all still playing and see you next year

I just got this game. I haven't played an NHL game since 11 or 12, so it's been a while. Now that I'm on next gen I figure I'd give it a shot.
My first impressions are that I totally suck, even on pro, and I freely admit that. However, it has some of the same frustrations that I remember from playing the series a few years ago. I find that the CPU players stick to me like glue. Anywhere I cut they are right on me. Meanwhile, when they are on offense they zip around my zone with nary a problem. Also, their passes seem to find their way through crowds right in the crease to an open man. And I'm not chasing guys either. I try to play my lanes and force the play outside, but the CPU finds a way to move the puck in a fashion that I can't come close to replicating when I'm on offense. Also, my AI defenders have a bad habit of chasing their guys behind the net leaving the front of the goal wide open.
And don't get me started on faceoffs. I rarely win them.
I'm sure if I check out some tutorials online I can get better at the game, but it just feels kind of cheap to me. I played 5 games and every game has followed the same pattern: CPU scores 3 goals within the first 12 minutes or so, then my goalie miraculously turns into a brick wall stopping shots he let in in the first, yet I can't score.
I'm going to give it some more time and try to see if there is some guidance out there to get my game going in the right direction as I used to have a ton of fun with the NHL games..not sure how much patience I'm going to have though.

I started over again.. and I'm going ALL freaking AS/Hardcore defaults. Even camera/puck size, etc..
I will tweak just a few, hopefully non-game threatening sliders.. but it's obvious the game cannot handle slider tweaking without breaking the game.
