NHL 23 patch update 9-26-2023 - 3.9GB

Im not sure i remember at any time at the end of an NHL games cycle getting a patch ever since online and video games have become a thing , i could be wrong tho, 

but just maybe this was a test patch on 23 before they try it out on 24 maybe a trial and error type of thing?  With another combined patch they have that is good to go on launch.  Not sure . The information just seems to be be fair enough from EA's perspective for anyone still playing 23 since 24 is around the corner. Possibly more information will come from it
