So most likely, yes, you'll have to start a new BAP or GM for the tweaked trade logic to be in place.

Anyone notice the board-pinning changes? That's a big one for me as well. I found myself feeling a little guilty when playing 1v1 against friends when a mis-timed pin still sucked them in...
Also, I don't suppose anyone has tried manual passing? I love using it and hope the tweak to user pass speed is a positive one.
God damn it, i've been playing over 100 games in BAP with 10 minutes rounds...no simming what so ever:-) FOOOOOOOOOKK!
Then again does trade logic affect BAP? Oh well....what can you do?!

Can anyone else comment on whether they're seeing a big difference in gameplay?
The board-pinning suction is the one thing I really wanted to see fixed.
I love this feature but it's a bit over the top with how easy it is to implement from far distances.
The board play suction issue seems to be alot better with this patch. In about 5 games I also managed to score a few goals with wrist shots in front of the goalie, so that seems to have been addressed also. Games seem to be alot more intense as far as rebounds and overall scoring. I'm liking it !!!
The wristshot goal percentage could actually be increased even more if it was at all in the patch, maybe I have just had more luck with them since I installed the patch..I dunno. This goal could have fallen in the one-timer catagory, but this is the type of wrist shot I have seen more of since installing the patch.
Hopefully the next tuning set will increase goals like this even more, as I like them being as much of a threat of going in as are cross crease one-timers and hard slap shots.

Supposedly,the patch was to also fix some freezing issues as well. I still try to select the San Antonio Rampage during Play Now, and it still never goes to the select jerseys screen. I need to shut off my PS3 and restart it. Like to see if it happens in BAGM.
It doesn't freeze during BAGM, but it does happen in Play Now and Battle for the Cup modes, and it needs to be fixed !!!!

I also use and love it, and hope that it is improved even more.

First, easy there brother. Please watch the substitute F-word stuff. Second, the patch notes didn't specify if the trade logic changes were for GM mode only, or if it applied to BAP as well.

I've played a few games and can notice an improvement in boardplay, the overall way the CPU plays defensively and in particular the way they defend the cross crease pass.
As a mainly offline player I was eager to test out the new trade logic, after simming a season and a bit into a new Be a GM career I'm not convinced the trade logic is that much better. I should point out I'm pretty new to hockey in general so I'm not sure whether some of these trades are logical or not.
I've seen Alexander Semin traded three times in just over a year, Selanne and Regehr twice. Anaheim traded Giguere for Colin Fraser of Chicago and then traded Getzlaf to Boston for Thomas. New Jersey acquired Jeff Carter + 2nd and 3rd round pick for Cody Sarich and Leblond
Again, I'm new to hockey but some of those seemed illogical to me.
I don't know what other work, if any has gone into Be a GM but the star players seemed to get more points, there were 7 over 100 with Malkin leading the way with 126 while Ovechkin scored 50 goals for his 98. There is still no love for Detroit though who finished 30th with 68 points!
Unfortunately, the Kane and Toews situation remains whereby they were released by Chicago and as of two games into the 2nd season they are still free agents.
