The NHL Development Team has been working hard creating a patch to address the current attribute glitch along with making other gameplay improvements.

At this time the goal is to have the patch released sometime in February following adequate testing and normal submission procedures.

More information on the details of the patch will be released as the testing and submission process continues.

I'm satisfied with how the patches have come along. (Great Job) Every patch "patched a hole," if you will. At some points those holes were huge (ex. ease/glitch of the curve shot). Albeit other 'glitches' would arise... I think that's just kinda natural since a lot of ppl play the game intensely. Plus it feels great when you battle against glitchers with legit plays + defense, and take em down.

Check out some of my vids if you will, none are glitchy. I'll gladly remove them general consensus disagrees.

I hope you fix the goalies. The goalies really ****, you can score 100 goals from the goal line if you shot from the corner at the boards and also if you come near the faceoff circle you deak and holds your wrist shot and when the goalie moves you release your shot in the empty corner and scores, or do a slapshot 1meter from the goalie it results in a goal. That really **** because people are using this GLITCh goals and destroys the game for us that just want to have a good time. Fix so that you only match up with clubs that ar equal to your own club to get it more fair. And whats up with that your computer players in OTP get as good as you are. That means that minor teams dont stand a chance against better teams. / Matte82

Probably Monday night at 2am PST, I'm guessing along with weekly maintanence. PS3 is the test patch I'm guessing. I have PS3 but, the hardcore guys only play on 360. Thank God they fixed the LB pop ups as well. All great fixes. Really should hold LT to prevent forecheck penalties in front of net. Tis fix is for the unskilled players. Only fix I'm not a fan of, the rest are great. 6'9" goalies were slower and gave up more rebounds so... its a good idea for the 6'4" I guess on some level. (Goalies in OTP limited to 6'4") I am 6'2" across the board. EA should let you have a skater at say 6ft and a goalie at 6'3" so people don't change it for each game. Also my goalie is #32 and Skate as #4. Give me a button for covering the puck as well instead of swiss cheese animation cdover, so I decide when to cover it. (I need to get out... Jeeez)

sorry. Last thing. Bring back the *****. After the first 20 min OT. Or at least five me the option to set it or join a game with it in OTP. Cycle human players and possible elect someone to be human goalie if there is non. As a goalie with over 500 games. I miss it. Probably too much work. Enough from me! Just patch 99 attribute glitch and quick pop stand ups after hits. Take a human goalie if u don't like cross crease passes. Where is this daunted EA AI that learns, that I heard about b4 the games' release?

Don't think this can be patched. Isn't it imbedded in the software on everyones disc? Best 2 weeks. Like heaven. 2 weeks after the patch b4 the tester cheap juicer cheat was exposed. You couldn't pay me enough to do it. Why spend 59.99 to cheat. Might as well hire someone from the Dream Killers to play at your house for u. I heard they come pretty cheap. 6 on 6 playoffs. No glitch d or default goalie goals. Get ready to be outskated and out worked if EA can patch. Is this the Steroid Era. Kick those people from the game! EA will lose money (stock not doing well). Will gain my trust back after Football horrid experience. (2k). Just patch it. Don't listen to my other crap. Since NHL 92 was it. I have owned EA hockey. 08 09 best games ever. Minus their server troubles. 08 couldn't do 2 on 2. Don't make 6 on 6 if your servers can't handle it. Minor complaint. EA rules the hockey world! Keep NHL going! It's the sport ur company is good at. (madden for money,MLB rights, Nba live.. Disgust)
