Quick reminder: When you are closing the game, make sure you manually close it. Highlight NHL 19, press start and select quit. Some people are having hours still count.
You don't want to accidentally burn through your 10 hours while offline.
Bravo EA, the new skating/hitting engine is fantastic! Please do NOT dumb down the poke check, you now have to time your pokes or your taking a penalty and the CPU has the same restrictions. Game play is solid so far in my brief few games. Thirteen total penalties on defaults? That's fantastic! Just really happy with the game play so far!
What are they doing with these tuners? Game was playing great offline and the last tuner did something to change game play in a bad way.
There was only one tuner. It’s saying it checks gameplay tuner sometimes, but there hasn’t been a second tuner.
You’d see a longer loading screen and you’d be asked if you want to use the new tuner (or keep existing/always use new tuner) if there was a new one.
I've had two instances where it told me there was a tuner update. I accepted the first one, played fine and yesterday when I logged in there was yet another update available. Installed it and it played totally different. I'm going to delete all saved data and play again without any updated tuners.

NO @socair that’s not true, there was 2 tuner updates (same version number)!!!
This is just MY experience when I played two games post tuner update. It could have been the same tuner but I had that message twice and installed them. I'm not sure there were two separate tuners but I did accept two different instances of tuners. The game play after the first tuner was fine or seemed fine, yet not not as good as the out of the box experience. The 2nd one I downloaded I played two games and either it was just a small sample size or they definitely nerfed some things.
People should try the tuner(s) for themselves if they want, this was just my experience. I played 4 games before any tuners and it played great. With the tuner the CPU was ping ponging the puck around and penalties went down. Once I deleted my saved game data and played a couple more games, I was back to the out of the box experience of enjoying the game again. I know I'm back to original game play because I have that box that tells me a game play update is available, which I'm not going to install.
I just wish they would tell us what changes were made and maybe they will. Just for my personal preference, the game felt different when I installed the tuner(s) so I'll stay away from them for now.

Yeah. Nasher has already burned 5 hours. Can't wait to get out of here ... dang daughter is having stupid surgery.
if I create a team in hut via ea access, does my team carry over or does it get deleted after my 10 hours are up?
Nasher probably has the full version now anyways so

Everything stays as if you already bought the game.
Also, I purchased the game already. If I buy EA Access for the 5.00 dollars, can I access NHL 19 or did I need to purchase EA access first?
Progress is saved.
You can access the trial regardless.
My question is, when my 10 hours runs out, when will I regain access to the game, Sep 11?

Thanx to MizzouRah (credits his words)
Not saying it's a bad game by any stretch but limbs are getting caught, body checks are registering like they should etc...
