Ok, 360 user here:
Deleted the game from harddrive, cleared my cache. Installed the game and then launched it. It says update available and i start downloading. It takes only 2 seconds to download the patch.
I dont see that CCM helmet with boost slots, but i dont have any helmets unlocked either. I wonder does the CCM V10 which is unlocked by default get boost slots when i unlock other helmets...
Feels like i dont have the patch installed properly...

Getzlaf for Thomas? :P I guess Boston DID get rid of Kessel . . . not sure they would ever ship Tommy out.

*head explodes* I honestly believe that Bruins GM would make that deal in a heartbeat.
So has anyone in Europe installed this patch succesfully? I'm from Finland myself and this doesnt seem to work...

CPU seems more aggressive offensively.
I hadn't given up more than 18 shots in a game prior to the patch, now in my first post-patch game I just gave up 36. And I also only took one penalty in the game so these weren't PP shots either.
Could be a conicidence but we will see...

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.
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.
I've now simmed a few different seasons (slow evening here!) and also saved just before the re-signing of the free agents period and ran that through a few times. I'm still seeing some dodgy trades throughout the season but mainly at the draft and deadline. While free agency generally plays out differently each time. I.e I've had Kane and Toews both get resigned by Chicago, both get released and had one sign, one released. Once it goes to July 1st, again it plays out differently each time and sometimes big names will be left and sometimes they will get signed (Kane got signed twice by Nashville and left to sit in free agency twice).
There are clearly problems still there and it would be nice to get it fixed but too me it looks like a lot of work will need to be done and will probably be something we'll see listed an an NHL11 feature. It is possible to save after the draft and have it play out again and again until you are satisfied with it but clearly we shouldn't have to do that.
It's a shame as I think the gameplay is great and I do really like the gameplay changes in the patch but the problems with the franchise mode are very frustrating. It's frustrating me to the point where I'm thinking I may try out 2K10 to see what their franchise mode offers.
