Notes for the patch coming later this week apparently:

Patch 2.0 - Coming Soon (Tentative Nov 23/16)

GAMEPLAY:

• Added 11 new goal celebrations to the creation zone.
• Fixed an issue where a user goalie would get stuck after getting hit while in butterfly.
• Fixed an issue where after an icing the puck it would sometimes cause human players to sit on the bench for the next play.
• Fixed some issues where a goalie would get stuck in a post lean away from the post.
• Added new post lean saves for more coverage.
• Improved goalie post lean logic so goaltenders to try and make saves that keep them sealed on the post to prevent short side goals.
• Fixed an issue where some signature stances caused the goalie’s glove hand to push back behind their pad when holding the puck idle on their stick.
• Fixed issues with shot animations when in close to the net.
• Updated User goalie save logic to help them move into a save when they are requesting to push/move first.
• Added functionality to allow goalies to rotate more when coming off the post from VH to butterfly to make them more square to the puck.
• Updates to User goalie save logic on wraparounds based on requested motion.
• Updates to User goalie save delay when in good position to make a blocking save.
• Fixed an issue where a goalie would sometimes drop to butterfly when in possession of the puck on a User requested pass attempt.
• Improved the reliability of one timers by adding quicker snapshots for situations where there isn't enough time to take a full slapshot.
• Fixed an issue where precision skating would sometimes conflict with a loose puck deke attempt at a slow speed. Now if you have your stick out a deking position it prioritizes the deke request.
• Updated goalie logic so that goalies will hold their near post on pass attempts near the net to prevent easy short side goals.
• Updated goalie logic for softer shots on net so that they look to pick it up rather than make a save.
• Various crash fixes.
• General stability updates across all modes.

Pretty good night. 3-2. Both losses were winnable games but we just didnt get much going. We kept getting bunched up on offense which didnt help.
 
Love the Shoryuken goal celebration on the goalie on that double deflection goal.

Way to give RedRum credit for my powerplay tip in ;)

Here's some additional highlights.
Creepy lonely fan stalking.

Marvie with an excellent defensive play...for the wrong team.

My hipcheck attempt gets denied.

Last night we definitely scored some sweet goals on tic-tac-toes and breakaways, but we were also successful with tips ins and rebounds and garbage goals...which leads me to believe that when we're in the offensive zone and don't have an obvious play or cycle, that we should take more shots. We actually outshot a team for once last night!
 
Someone was asking yesterday if the Division is worth picking up. Thought I should let you know that it's $10 on Amazon right now. I think I heard a few folks say it wasn't worth it, but I've got to say that the recent two patches have really improved the game significantly, where enemies are more aggressive and less bullet spongey and everything you do in the game rains down the loot. The latest DLC (Survival) is a mode that makes everyone start at low level gear, leveling up over about 60-90 minutes until getting to an extraction to get rewards scaled to your character in the other modes. It's a smart move, letting day one players and new players match up for some games. Anywho, just a random vote for "this game is totally worth $10."

Yeah $10 is worth it. Just a matter of spending time leveling up. Plus the dlc is must. I do enjoy the game a lot. Play with my brother a ton.

I bought it a few hours ago. :p
 
It's probably my most played game this generation - if you see me online and we aren't NHL-ing, happy to jump into either Survival Mode or World Tier 5 loot shenanigans.

Nah, nice and desolate. You'll see a group of 5-12 folks every few blocks. Most will try to kill you other. Others will be you for supplies. All of them will start to look like loot bags.

Really good night.....morning...??. 6-3-1 overall. 2 of those losses were winnable and the other two were just garbage.

Good job to drPepper too. Fit in and played well. Nice job scoring on your first shot maybe 10 seconds into your first game too. My xbox decided not to capture it even though it said it was DVR'd.

I would have cried if we had lost that game that we were up 4-0 going into the 3rd. The fact that it even went to OT was ridiculous. :lol

Some of our best plays last night, and it I could score on a fucking breakaway, we probably would have won 2 more games.

You did score on a breakaway. Once.
