New tuner (Oct. 19)

[leaffan]

All modes:
-Human puck carriers can be hit immediately when they acquire the puck now (there was a short period where they couldn't be hit previously). *
-Goalie more careful about dropping the puck from his glove to his stick when there is pressure. *
-Slap shot effectiveness with partial windup reduced.
-Hitting from behind and boarding called more strictly.
-Fewer elbowing penalties.
-Decrease CPU post-whistle penalties.

Offline only (V1.05):
-Goalies less aggressive going after loose pucks (same change that online modes got last tuning update).
-Goalies less aggressive passing the puck out

OTP/EASHL Only:
-Goalies now will not throw the puck out when in glove standing unless pass is called for.
-Increase the effect of shot accuracy attributes.
-Changed CPU base attributes to make them a bit better defensively and a bit weaker on offense.



*: applies retroactively to all offline tuning sets (V1.00 - V1.05), these are considered bug fixes, not tuning.

Played a game tonight. First time in a while. Fuck 1v1 online. Hitting from behind and boarding is just way over done. Had 2 guys ejected from the game and with the rosters still being shit not updated it fuckin sucked.

I wish EA would stop fucking around with some of this shit. 5 tuner updates in a month and no roster updates.

Boarding called more strictly? Uh-oh, I already got that called on me a lot haha.

Yeah I got called for boarding last night when I had the guy lined up fine.

Glad about the goalies thing, because Ellis keeps coming out past the dot in my chise, and when you're out that far, passing can be a pain since their players hover around you.
