Here’s the 1.6 patch notes clappy shared in HUT forum but not here

Hello NHL Community,

A new NHL 23 patch will be available on Tuesday, March 7th, at 1 pm EST.

This patch is highlighted by the new ability to play cross-platform HUT Play a friend matches against the opposing platform on your respective console generation (PS5 vs Xbox Series X and PS4 vs Xbox One). 

Here’s a quick guide on how to use it.

You’ll first want to head over to the Play A Friend tab in the HUT Main Menu

From there you will want to click on the new Private Game tab.

Once you enter a Private Game, you’ll need to set a password, make sure that your opponent sets the same password on their end which will allow you to match up against them. Once you both have the same password set, select Start Game and you’ll matchmake against one another.

Here are the full Patch notes:

Creation Zone

----

- Fixed an issue where the player model was not showing up on the second time when entering Edit Player

- Fixed an issue where team goalie masks were not available for selection in Be a Pro

Game Modes

----

- Fixed an issue where changes in Edit Lines and Strategies did not save

Hockey Ultimate Team

----

- Added new Cross Platform Private Game functionality

Uniforms

----

The following uniforms have been added or updated in NHL 23

NHL

- Arizona Coyotes - Third

- Vancouver Canucks - Third

- Carolina Hurricanes - Stadium Series

- Washington Capitals - Stadium Series

- All-Star Uniforms - Western Conference and Eastern Conference

ECHL

- Iowa Heartlanders - Fourth

- Utah Grizzlies - Third and Fourth

Canadian Hockey League

- Charlottetown Islanders - Third



as suspected, absolutely nothing done for presentation or cameras. Very few fixes, at least they did something I guess?

edit: I see they moved the patch notes to the proper forum but locked that thread so I’m assuming this thread is for patch notes feedback it seems

  • Ok, lets look if the edit player bug is solved. Curious which new bug will be the next. NHL 23 is weak and boring. Remember, after every release of the game we will get no more major update and only some small roster updates. So the game after release is more or lesser done. If online with a friend I need to play in Franchise league original season mode. In HUT division mode not intressted. I personaly know what to do, or better not to do next autumn.

    This is an embarrassment of a patch and further proof EA doesn't care about the NHL franchise or it's customers.


    They're never going to fix all of the issues in one patch, but it's frustrating just how much time and energy is spent on ensuring HUT is updated and patched while the rest of the game suffers.

    UT modes have ruined sports games. The fear of taking any risks with the game engine so as not to upset the fragile children that consume HUT packs every day is what's really stagnating this series.  

  • Nobody Cares about New Jerseys...

    The whole game is bugged...literally takes 45 minutes every night just to get a simple DROP IN GAME...

    Please do better!

    Every patch I expect nothing and every patch I’m still super disappointed.

    Well over 5GB update…. NOTHING for franchise mode, not even fix the bug that make the whole game crash when you try to creat or edit players 😒

    Remove HUT so we Franchise players can get some love….. I buy the game every year and there aren't many new updates we get.

    does anyone in the EA office even try the game?

    and listening to us users doesn't seem to be an option
