I actually think that the gameplay got quicker.

I noticed that I was able to skate through poke checkers as well. I literally skated forward through a man that poke check spammed the crap out of me but I didn't lose the puck at all. Guess they didn't put any attributes on their poke checking?:lol. My 90 poke checking still works good so I'm happy :fullofwin:

The skating seems a lot smoother, your guys stops and goes way quicker now and sharp turns don't dig into the ice as much as before

Those are the 3 things that stood out to me the most.

I agree that the skating is better, my guy doesn't feel like a slug anymore and its made hitting so much easier now, my guy feels more like my NHL12 player again ...

October Title Update & Tuner 1.06
Date: October 23rd
Notes:

NHL 13 Patch

Gameplay Updates

• Goalies will be more aware of shots right off a faceoff in the offensive zone.
• Goalies will have a harder time dealing with screens.
• Ability to tune shooting back against the grain so it can be less accurate/effective than shooting with your weight behind the shot and moving towards your shooting direction.

• Prevented desperation shots from knocking the puck away from the goalie minimizing the strategy of diving at the goalie to knock the puck loose.

• Allowed BAP games to resume from simulation in the middle of a shift (fixed crash when sim intervening).
• Fixed goals screening goalie stat.
• Goalie has a better chance of squaring up to shots from far out.

The trade messaging is nice. Tells you why the CPU rejected the trade ...

I never got a chance to check out this trade messaging yet... where is this feature lol ... does it tell you why they a player didn't sign with you also?

Not that I'm aware of. Just trades.

Hating the new tuner. There's like no fatigue at all in All-Star Normal ... So fucking lame ...

Yeah I noticed that too ... I don't think I saw my 4th line the ENTIRE game last night!

I can take control of gm connected after this sim if u don't mind.

I love how goalies can't save weak shots but rob you on open nets or tap ins. There really is no reason to play proper hockey in this game, just skate up and launch a weak shot that will produce a huge rebound and get your garbage goal.....

Sounds about right lol.....

I feel like version 1.00 from day 1 was the best patch thus far. There were tons of variety in goals. Now it's just rushing down the wing as fast as u can and doing that glitchy backhand-forehand deke that goes in 100% of the time. No one bothers taking shots now and I don't blame them.
Posted via RS Mobile

the first patch didn't have enough PIMS being called though. i think 1.04 had been the most balanced for me.

hey guys who are on gm connected

im pretty close to quitting as alot of gm dont go online and dont play
i know we all dont have alot of free time but its been 2 weeks since our last sim and the gm of the penguins dont even come online to fix his roster

i love the gm connected feature but i think it takes a group of guys who are willing to put in the time to play and take care of their rosters

im sorry if you dont feel this way but its pretty frustrating to come online every few days and keep seeing nothing happening

I would come on more often if it didn't take 5minutes to load the menu screen

BUT then again I already expected the RS league to be a really casual, chill league just to play some games in spare time so it's no big deal ... although all my NHLing time has been taken up by another GMC league.

bomboi1, give Jmac a shout, he's running a super professional GMC (IMO the best league in on NHL13 right now) ... super organized, sims are advanced on the dot every 48 hours. Always 30 active (and damn good) players for every team. Crazy negotiations for trades all the time. I am the current GM of Anaheim right now. We are in Season 2.

Any teams looking for a dedicated Left D? My stats are getting up, and I've got shitload time to play

What times do you play?
PS3 or Xbox?
Can you play either D position or prefer to stay at LD?

Ps3, either D is fine, and I'm usually on 10pm -1am.

Actually, its funny, cause I forgot I'm on the RS team, and after I posted that, I had a few games with jchow lol.
Posted via RS Mobile

Lol. Wait, are you blazed vagitarian??!
Posted via RS Mobile

I'm thinking of creating another club, that actually has members who play regularly. I have about 3-4 buddies who play online with me but at odd times, after 10pm. Just thinking about it though.
