Marvie_3 said:New tuner set is out now. Not sure what it does yet.
...........Fuck you.SnakeswithLasers said:"Legend card is now attainable with a B+ average."
Marvie_3 said:...........Fuck you.
The major thrust of the changes is to get more goal-scoring variation and loosen up goal scoring a bit. There will be more variety in CPU goalie positioning as well as a bunch of other tweaks to how they position, how fast they can move and accelerate, rebound control, screen effects, reaction speeds, and more.
For online the duration of the post-whistle time has been reduced, and a few gameplay exploits have been reduced.
There are quite a few changes involved in this update so we'll be watching closely to see how things play out and make any adjustments that are necessary.
ph33nix said:How did you get 90 in speed accel and agility? My guy maxes at like 86 overall too
That doesn't sound too bad. I'm all for legit goals.SnakeswithLasers said::lol :lol
So from what I've read, glitch goals still go in, but you can also score a lot of legit goals now. Supposedly AI goalies got nerfed (human goalies remain the same) so that you can change up the way you play and score instead of relying on exploits.
That's what I suggested like 10 pages ago... Let's see if it works out.
I have a bunch of boosts unlocked too. I have totals of +8 in speed and acceleration and a +5 in agility.ph33nix said:How did you get 90 in speed accel and agility? My guy maxes at like 86 overall too
The boosts don't show up in your overall rating until you get into a game. My guy says he's an 83 overall on the attribute screen. Once I get into a game he's an 86.SnakeswithLasers said:Damn man. I must be retarded--I can't get my guy over 82. I need better boosts.
Why? Is our club not good enough for you anymore ph33nix? :lolph33nix said:I dunno about you guys but I say we make a NEW club in light of our team having legend cards. Neo neogaffers?
Apparently it resets all of our club records, etc. if you switch leagues.SnakeswithLasers said:Fuck ya. Let's kick off Feb right. Marvie wanted to move to Pro from Casual league. Also, Pheenix, have you even SEEN the new jerseys we're sporting?
Lecavier gets punished because he's stuck on a shitty team? Sedin an 89???SnakeswithLasers said:The official blog has the new player ratings posted.
Shouldn't be long before they post the full tuner changes.
I actually took a minute to throw the new player ratings into excel and the biggest winners are:
You'd actually believe shit EA says?SnakeswithLasers said:EA hasn't said any specifics yet--those bastards.
But from the impressions at OS, it seems that there is definitely consistently more scoring happening. Some reports of more realistic rebounds and "play is more fluid" too--but I won't believe that shit until it comes from EA.
The eagle ones? I fuckin hate them too, but laserbot and hardyboy lurve them.ph33nix said:No our club is fine but I think we should have a clean slate, also I kinda do hate our jerseys to be honest :lol
Don't really have one. I went back to being Scott Baio. 14 goals in 4 games. :lolph33nix said:btw what is our team name theme for now?
You haven't seen the new ones? Holy fuck dude. Are you in for a treat! :lolph33nix said:right now our jerseys is that weird face in a helmet isn't it? i say we go for something glittery for laserbot
Marvie_3 said:You haven't seen the new ones? Holy fuck dude. Are you in for a treat! :lol
Yeah, we switched jerseys about a week ago. You may want to go back to the jerseys we started with. :lolph33nix said:EASHL??
btw if we play and I don't talk I will still have my mic on but I tend to talk way too loud during sports games while people sleep :lol
Try as you may, you'll never steal my heart away from laserbot. :lolph33nix said:I'm trying to get my Madden game in. As soon as I'm done with that I'm all yours babe.

Anyone else playing tonight?
The jerseys are so awful man. Seriously. :lolHardyboy1224 said:our jersys are the tightest jersys in the game when you raise your arms the eagle flys marvie did that shit 4 times in one period kaw-kaw we should all be so good, and scott baio has a fat ass now its so funny watching "cartman" baio score and shake that ass
I'm usually on from about 8pm-1am your time every night.Hardyboy1224 said:what time...lol its already 10:45 hear and i am asking what time to play, maybe i should turn on the xbox
Marvie_3 said:The jerseys are so awful man. Seriously. :lol
I don't know why my guy is so fat now. :lol
I'm usually on from about 8pm-1am your time every night.
I'm done for the night anyway. I have to be on campus for 12 hours on tuesdays and thursdays which means I go to bed earlier on monday and wednesday nights. I get 4 day weekends though.Hardyboy1224 said:sorry man wife wants to wii fit
the eagle is the second greatest bird in the world

Or another symbol....you know, if we switched jerseys.SnakeswithLasers said:Let's raise the Eagles in victory tonight, gents.
Get NHL back then.RS4- said:Fuck, I miss playing NHL
I played a bunch of OTP last night with some AI goalies and it didn't seem too different.SnakeswithLasers said:Apparently there are at least 2 new exploits now (along with the wrist shot working still--and reportedly easier since goalies are dumber). Supposedly EA is going to patch them "right away"--but ... lame.
I think if we work towards unlocking a bunch of boosts and combine that with all the legend card attributes, we could make a pretty formidable goaltending duo. I was reading online that with the right boosts and attribute points, you can get a goalie all the way up to a 90 overall.SnakeswithLasers said:It's fun until somebody loses an eye.
The new tuners, from what I'm reading, seem like they might help our team a lot. Supposedly having a human in net is better than an AI tender (fuck ya!) and goalie screens work (as a power forward, I am excited about this).

You haven't gotten that one yet? Fuckin loser.SnakeswithLasers said:I'll try to get the "15 straight shutouts in EASHL" boost.

The major objective of the tuning update is to get more goal-scoring variation and loosen up goal scoring. There is now more variety in CPU goalie positioning as well as a bunch of other tweaks to how goalies position, how fast they can move and accelerate, rebound control, screen effects, reaction speeds, and more.
For online the duration of the post-whistle time has been reduced, and a few gameplay exploits have been reduced.
Beyond getting more varied goal scoring we wanted to address a number of other issues that have been identified by the community and that we are able to improve through a tuning update. Because a significant number of changes were made in this update we will be paying close attention to how things play out in the coming weeks and responding with additional fine tuning as necessary.
All online games use the new tuning set. After downloading the update offline games can use the new tuning update by switching the Tuner Set Version under Gameplay Settings/General to either Latest (which is the default) or V1.03. You can also switch to earlier versions if you prefer to keep things the same as they have been.
Highlights of the update include:
-Increased variation in goalie positioning
-Rebounds directed further to the side of the net --awesome for goalies.
-Small reduction in goalie reaction times, top speed and acceleration
-Increase in screen effect on goalies (online only) --my Power Forward says yum.
-Reduced post-whistle time (online only)
-Decreased effectiveness of the pass block (LB/L1) at taking the puck away
-Increased frequency of deflections (EASHL/OTP only) --my Power Forward says yum.
-Prevent CPU defenders from being easily lured into hooking penalties in EASHL/OTP games
-Improved ability to intercept weak passes
-For EASHL/OTP, the range of the some of the attribute effects has been increased
Marvie_3 said:There's always going to be exploits in the NHL games due to 'high percentage shots'. I think we just need to step up on defense.
Ok, so they'll be even more out of position now.-Increased variation in goalie positioning
If it means less shitty rebound goals, I'm all for it.-Rebounds directed further to the side of the net --awesome for goalies.
Goalies are more retarded and have less horsepower. Gotcha.-Small reduction in goalie reaction times, top speed and acceleration
Hopefully this only applies to AI goalies. I'm going to be pissed if my goalie misses a puck that I can see fine, because he was "screened"-Increase in screen effect on goalies (online only) --my Power Forward says yum.
This has been great so far.-Reduced post-whistle time (online only)
I like this too. My guy loses the puck too often when someone just uses this to play lazy defense.-Decreased effectiveness of the pass block (LB/L1) at taking the puck away
My goalie says, "Fuck that noise. Deflections are already ridiculous enough."-Increased frequency of deflections (EASHL/OTP only) --my Power Forward says yum.
I'll believe this when I see it, although I have seen far fewer tripping and slashing calls online lately. Well, except for the time peterboy was brutally assaulted by that AI d-man. :lol-Prevent CPU defenders from being easily lured into hooking penalties in EASHL/OTP games
Maybe we'll be able to pick up those pucks that normally go right through us now. :lol-Improved ability to intercept weak passes
This could be good or bad depending on depending on which attributes it refers to. The game is already completely unbalanced as it is.-For EASHL/OTP, the range of the some of the attribute effects has been increased
:lol I meant we ALL need to step up and play better defense. A lot of the shit goals are preventable. We just need to work harder to take them out of the equation.Hardyboy1224 said:i knew it marvie hate that i play d thanks a lot man...

Again with the puppies? :lol
This update was meant to enhance scoring so goalies wouldn't be superhuman and only vulnerable to glitches. Ya, it'll probably backfire though.Marvie_3 said:Ok, so they'll be even more out of position now.
Agreed. Especially if it gets rid of the wrist shot skating into the zone that the goalie knocks directly to open ice where another dude is streaking down the ice.Marvie_3 said:If it means less shitty rebound goals, I'm all for it.
Yup, that's what they wanted to do.Marvie_3 said:Goalies are more retarded and have less horsepower. Gotcha.
So far what I've read is the goalie tweaks ONLY affect AI goalies. So human goalie is supposed to be something a team wants and can rely on.Marvie_3 said:Hopefully this only applies to AI goalies. I'm going to be pissed if my goalie misses a puck that I can see fine, because he was "screened"
Good to hear.Marvie_3 said:This has been great so far.
It would be nice if it worked well for loose pucks and not at all for controlled pucks.Marvie_3 said:I like this too. My guy loses the puck too often when someone just uses this to play lazy defense.
Ya, this can go either way. They need to get rid of the crazy geometrically impossible deflections, but put in more genuine deflections. Now it seems like the only deflections (or 90%) are the wacky ones that get banged in from fucked up angles.Marvie_3 said:My goalie says, "Fuck that noise. Deflections are already ridiculous enough."
I wish you could save replays during the game. That was awesome.Marvie_3 said:I'll believe this when I see it, although I have seen far fewer tripping and slashing calls online lately. Well, except for the time peterboy was brutally assaulted by that AI d-man. :lol
This is my main problem with the game is the lack of collision with the puck by defenders near the crease.Marvie_3 said:Maybe we'll be able to pick up those pucks that normally go right through us now. :lol
Agreed to the max. I think from some impressions balance and checking might be affected. Maybe they'll tone down agility and deking too.Marvie_3 said:This could be good or bad depending on depending on which attributes it refers to. The game is already completely unbalanced as it is.
