Vod, have you found any of those values that affect the team momentum during the season? When you lose an OT game that will affect your team momentum and your players' performance gets worse. It's very apparent during the season. When you start winning you usually keep winning because your team momentum gets high.

Removing this effect would be very effective way to to increase the game difficulty in "natural way", without having to resort to giving any speed and goalie advantages to the CPU.

Nah, I haven't. Someone will have to find out where it's stored in the save file or how exactly it affects the difficulty. That will make it much easier to find the value in memory.

Can we make the launcher zoom to the scoreboards during the cutscenes randomly (as it now does zoom the upper stands occasionally)? That would be amazing, especially after we're able to animate the scoreboards.

All of the launcher settings have a description in the launcher GUI. Not sure what more you want.

Vod, endless replay cuts when a player makes a hat trick. Shows replay only one time.

This was not an issue with RusPatch. Not a big deal, just FYI.

Thanks for the report. I'll see about fixing that for the next version.

Hi Vod, first of all, really good job with the launcher. Everything looks really cool, and works perfectly. There's just one thing that i noticed when i played a match, it's probably not the launchers fault but maybe there is something in the launcher that i can tweak this with.

The camera doesn't go "deep enough" for me. That's the deepest it goes, and there's a tiny bit of ice you can't see at all (This is how it's supposed to look like) It's nothing big, really, but a little bit annoying when you try to get the icing and can't find the puck at all. Maybe something with the FOV settings? Anybody had the same issue?

Sorry if it has been asked and answered already elsewhere, i tried to take a quick look but didn't really find anything.

You should be able to fix that by increasing the FOV modifier.

Is there anything we could do to help lengthen the cutscenes somehow. We could add amazing features in them. Like the starting lineups showing up... or some random camera views from the scoreboards.

These were in NHL 1999. Too bad EA removed them later.

I don't know enough about the cutscene engine yet to make any changes to the cutscenes, but it's certainly possible. One thing we can already easily do though is draw custom overlays with any information you want and base it on the cutscene currently being displayed.

They were in both NHL 2003 and 2005, but not in 04... i wonder why they left them out :thinking:

That is cool. We definitely can think of some custom overlays in v2. :)
