NHL 10 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

[jerk]

Lovin' the new patch! Gameplay is much more realistic

[Taku]

I still dont know does this patch work on my 360 or not. I have not unlocked any boosted helmets and after patching i see the CCM V10 helmet and it has 0 boost slots? If my game is patched properly, does that helmet change into 3-slot helmet when i unlock some other helmets OR should it be locked but already a 3-slot helmet?

Not that i care can i use the helmet or not but im just trying to figure out is my game patched... I have cleared the cache and restarted my console like 10 times and everytime the download takes only like 2 seconds max. and theres nothing which tells me that my game was patched.

Help please.

I believe to unlock the CCM v10 Boost Helmet, you must have unlocked or purchased one of the original 3 slot boost helmets. Then the CCM V10 Helmet should show itself. This is what everyone has said on the EA Sports forum. I don't see it either but thats because I haven't unlocked any 3 slot helmets yet.

Hope this helps

Well i can see the CCM V10 helmet, it has 0 boost slots. So you mean there is an additional CCM V10 helmet with 3 slots but its hidden? Not visible at all, locked or unlocked doesnt matter?

Man this is annoying, why there isnt anything which tells me what version im playing. Developers please put the version notification into main menu from now on, thank you.

Yes you can always see the 0 Boost CCM V10 but in order to see the 3 boost slot CCM V10, you have to unlock another 3 boost slot helmet. As for the patch, it did install rather quickly but I'm sure it's there. I've see people wearing the V10 helmet already.

Didn't do anything about offline franchise freezing. I am having more freezing issues now than before the patch. I can't get to the third year of my franchise without locking up. The scout calls me (after the draft) to tell me he is done. It is after the draft, so I can't even get in to change the assignment to miss the call. Do the testers not get this freeze?

An easy way to verify that you are running the newest version is to play a game against the computer and see if it will win a faceoff to the LD. If so, you've got it. If it only goes to the RD, patch again.

The more I've played post patch, the more I'm noticing the cpu pass accuracy seems greater than pre-patch. And my pass % has gotten quite a bit higher as well. At least by the stats anyway.

Pre-patch, with the cpu pass ACC slider at 0 [All-Star] the cpu was very noticeably missing passes. Now post patch...not so much.

The cpu isn't exactly back to the tick-tack passing, but it does seem to be back to being too accurate again. Not a big problem for me...but I do miss the little bit more sloppy play I was getting from the cpu before the patch.

Noticed this, too. Percentages are now closer to 80% for me and the CPU, whereas before it was 70-75%. Doesn't change the game much for me, though.

I'm actually noticing the opposite. The CPU % has taken a hit. Seeing it in the stats, but more importantly also in the game play. Love it.
