    NHL 13 Title Update (Patch, New Features, Glitch/Bug Fixes, W/C Jerseys

    stolen from OS....

    my update hit today, so it is live


    Gameplay Updates
    • Separated ability for backwards to forwards pivot for ‘with puck’ and ‘without puck’ and made it quicker to pivot without the puck.
    • Poke checking – fixed bug causing players to always miss to the same side of the puck.
    • 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.
    • Ability for players to be more susceptible to lose the puck when getting hit while skating backwards with the puck at speed.
    • Prevented desperation shots from knocking the puck away from the goalie minimizing the strategy of diving at the goalie to knock the puck loose.
    • Fixed shootout logic in GM Connected to include both locked and unlocked users.
    • 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.
    • Improved orientation of off-puck players in one-timer situations.
    • Improved AI behavior against a back skating puck carrier.
    • Fixed hit power sliders so only the hitter’s slider value matters.
    • Fixed AI players occasionally standing around looking at the puck when resuming from simulation in BAP.
    • Fixed BAP being taken off the ice after a short shift that results in a stoppage.

    • Ability to tune players puck control coming out of a 45 glide deke.
    • Ability to tune CPU pass error on long passes.
    • Improved puck hop behavior when it hits the boards.
    • Pokechecking effectiveness range tweaked. Players with better stick checking skill will stand out more compared to players with lover ratings in that category.
    • Tuned goalies and shooting accuracy to ensure shots in the slot/middle of the ice are more effective than shots from sharp angles.
