Patch 3.0 & Tuner 1.02 – (Coming Jan 19, 2017)


HOCKEY ULTIMATE TEAM:

Hockey Ultimate Team™ - Competitive Seasons
Competitive Seasons is a new game mode which allows players to compete in a “monthly” season format to earn in-game rewards. Each monthly season consists of rounds. Complete three games to earn round points which determine your ranking on the Round Leaderboards. At the end of each round, you will earn a reward as well as Season Points that count towards your season total. Finish as high as you can in each round to accumulate as many season points as possible to earn a larger reward at the end of the season.
*NOTE: Rounds and Season durations are subject to change.



GAMEPLAY (Tuner 1.02):


ALL MODES

Player Updates:
• Tuned down puck carrier’s reaction speed to reacquire a puck after losing it.
User Goalie Updates:
• Increased ability to make saves in tight to their body and decreased ability when reaching to reward better puck tracking and cutting off angles.
• Increased ability to make saves on cross grain shots by tuning movement so goalies will stay square even if the user is requesting to move away from the shot direction.
• Increase save success on blocking saves.
• Decreased the impact goalie movement to help promote puck tracking so that good angles and positioning mean the most for a goalie’s ability to make a save.
• Decreased screen effect slightly.
• Increased goalie speed for post-to-post movement.
• Increased AI goalie’s awareness for a possible shot off a faceoff.
• Increased ability to react after a save to increase their chance of getting back in position and making rebound saves.
• Rolled back change from previous patch for the goalie occasionally getting stuck in butterfly as it was causing a worse knock on issue.



EASHL MODE ONLY

EASHL Player Class Updates:

Goalies

• Increased all goalie classes height to 6’2”.
• Increased speed and agility of all goalies and added variance with Standup being the highest and Butterfly being the lowest.
• Increased Hybrid goalie’s recover rating so that he is now faster recovering than the Butterfly goalie.
• Increased rebound control of all classes. Standup goalie’s will still have the lowest rating while Butterfly goalies will have the highest.
• Increased poke check ability for all classes. Hybrid has the best poke check rating of the three classes and Butterfly has the lowest.
• Hybrid goalie now has the best stick side and paddle down rating of the three classes.
• Increased vision for all classes. Butterfly is still the lowest and Standup is still the highest.
• Increased 5-hole rating for both the Hybrid and Butterfly classes to separate them from the Standup goalie.
• Increased rebound control for the AI goalie class.


Players

• Lowered hand-eye ratings for all classes and rebalanced the category to see more realistic deflections and bat-ins across the different player classes.
• Lowered shooting attributes of Grinder, Power Forward and Enforcer Forward.
• Lowered passing attribute for the Grinder.
• Increased balance of the Two Way Forward and Hitting Sniper class.
• Increased the ability for defensive builds to intercept passes but still kept the same variance in abilities relative to each of the classes.
• Increased the minimum rating a player needs to get a saucer lift on a regular pass. Now Playmaker, Jumbo Playmaker and Puck Moving D will be the only players with the advantage.
• Raised discipline of the Two Way Dangler.
• Tuned down puck carrier’s reaction speed to reacquire a puck after losing it.

Love that they hacked some of the attributes for certain builds as well as the post hit pickup. That shit was ridiculous. Also happy they raised my balance.

Increased ability for defense to intercept passes is big too. Hopefully less "I was right there, so why did that spring for a breakaway" moments.

Yeah, but I feel like our team's D is usually pretty solid in terms of positioning/not getting caught - more getting boned on chances when pucks go through them or they make a good hit but it doesn't matter, since the player retains possession. Tweaks to those should help a team like ours out that's maybe pretty good at positional hockey, but not great at just going end to end?

The only one I care about. Sad they didn't address the easy deke/score thing. Fucking EA.

We should try out this patch tonight peeps.

I was playing Be A Pro and finally made it to the NHL draft and the game will crash out. Anybody experienced this before?

I haven't been able to play versus mode for two days and have done everything possible to help my connection, is there some kind of system down going on or what?

I don't miss your judgmental views, I assume Trump is interfering with my connection.

All I can say is that my wireless connection to WiiU is extremely spotty. My Xbox is wired and doesn't have a problem. I think the internet is racist to us Canadians.

Also, add me "meichumon". I need more people on my friend's list to play Sea of Thieves in the future!!!

I predict SoT will be delayed until Scorpio. The next best hope is Rocket League. Which we should all play since we suck at hockey.

No joke. Maybe Legit needs to sacrifice a live chicken for Jobu to get whatever curse he has removed.

The curse is too strong, Marv. Did you finally give up on The Division?
