Any plans to include some of the more popular and newer equipment like the Bauer Re-Akt 95 and 150, Warrior Covert RS and the new CCM Tacks helmets?
Can we please get more details on the bolded part?
Is it part of the package?
"Improvements to covers for pucks underneath the goaltender"
Please tell me this is that horrid cover glitch that's been fixed. It was driving me nuts
I guess LT abuse fits into their "sim" vision of hockey... The fact that none of these issues were addressed is a joke.
The L2 abuse and puck control issues and all that should have been fixed weeks ago, but its clear as day they want that bullcrap in the game. They dont want people playing actual hockey, so Im done.
Seeing that every single game I play says LOW population while searching, Im sure alienating your extremely niche but dedicated fan base is a brilliant business decision.
Or the new TRUE helmet...
Or new goalie pads...
Or...
The couple of games I played Mr Zombie,it's still being used
Sorry, what? They're in the game as far as I know.
It's not fixed and they made the camera wonky feeling at least from my experience in playing HUT/Versus. I guess the camera tries to center itself better
LB still works
EASHL glitch that does something still exists too
And pretty much anything else you guys wanted changed didn't get changed.
