NHL 24 Gameplay Tuner and Roster Update Available Today

A new NHL 24 gameplay tuner is available today decreasing CPU teammate and charging penalties. The update also speeds up the pass intercept reaction time along with increased puck carrier and back skating speed. The new roster update reflects changes made across the various leagues. Check out the details below for additional information.

Community Feedback:  CPU Teammates are taking too many penalties which can be frustrating as it feels out of the user’s control.

• Reduced the chance of CPU Teammate Penalties by adjusting the default setting of the CPU Teammate Penalty slider setting from 15 to 5.

Community Feedback:  Charging penalties are being called too often, especially on Shoulder Checks where the hitter is veering into the check.

• Increased the amount of frames a Skater must be traveling in a straight line for a Shoulder Check to be considered for a Charging Penalty.

Community Feedback:  Defenders who are facing the puck are not attempting to intercept a hard pass, especially when the pass is made tight to their body. This is allowing offensive players to force charge passes through well positioned defenders for close cross crease goals.

• Greatly increased the base pass intercept reaction time for skaters, increasing their ability to attempt pass intercepts quicker especially when facing the puck.

Community Feedback:  Holding RB/R1 and RS to Flip Dump takes too long to charge and makes using this action too ineffective, especially when under pressure or when trying to use this on the forecheck to get a puck deep.

• Increased the speed to fully charge up a Flip Dump by 20%.

Community Feedback: While carrying the puck, Skaters with a higher speed attribute can be caught by a skater with a lower speed attribute. The Puck-Carrier speed penalty reduces the differentiation between skaters and can lead to small confusion with new players who aren’t familiar with this system.

• Increased Puck-Carrier skating speed by 2%.
• Increased Back Skating speed by 2% to keep speed balanced with Puck Carrier speed.
• Increased the Wheels X-Factor Zone Ability bonus by 30% to allow Skaters with this Zone Ability to skate at maximum speed.
• Increased the In Reverse X-Factor Zone Ability bonus to allow Skaters with this X-Factor to pivot faster.
