The PS3 version is out. I'm under the assumption that the 360 version will be the same once it get's released for us. So I figured PS3 players already using it could shed some light for me.

Same here. Gah, the MS certification process for this stuff seems unnecessarily lengthy.

One word "Superb" Great fix for this game.

I play on a Div 1 team on the 360 but my thirst for the patch got so crazy I rented the PS3 version just to try it out and, despite the much laggier play, the patch is very successful from what I saw in a couple of OTP and Versus games I played.

Needs to come out on the 360 asap...

Has anyone using the patched PS3 version noticed the fact that there are now far too many penalties being called in 1v1 online games? I like the odd powerplay, but in the games I play in both myself and my opponent are recieving 3-4 penalties per period.

Every now and then I'll have a game where my opponent gets a ton of penalties, but it's usually their fault. For the most part I see on average 5-8 penalties a game for each team.

I'm on the Penguins and in 48 games Crosby has scored a total of 16 goals. For someone rated 97 (I'm in my 3rd year on BAP) I would expect more scoring and better play. Scoring is no different from my 3rd line to the 1st line; I've even had games where my 3rd line has scored 3-4 goals while the first line was held scoreless.

uhhh crosby had 17 goals in his 48 games in real life this year...not that far off huh?

Since the PS3 patch has been out for a while now and the 360 one just came online, I'm going to unsticky this to avoid clutter. Thanks for your impressions everyone!
