NHL 24 1.3.0 Patch Notes
Hello NHL Community, here are the patch notes for Patch 1.3.0 launching this Wednesday, December 6th at 12pm ET. Please complete all online games before this time as server instability is expected up to an hour after the patch deployment.
We will also be making changes to some player class tuning for WOC Season 2
To coincide with WOC Season 2’s start we are tuning some player classes in World of Chel. We are allowing mid to large-size player classes to get smaller within their set ranges as well as giving a slight bump in skater ratings to Special Character Classes.
NOTE: Making these tuning changes may reset your player class loadouts to defaults and require re-customizing them. All X-Factor and Boosts will remain unlocked as they were previously. These changes will take effect on Thursday at 1 pm ET.
Gameplay

Community Feedback: Boarding penalties are being called too often on shoulder checks that are too far away from the boards, or feel properly lined up.
- Improved the logic for Boarding Penalties by tweaking when Boarding Penalty logic is checked to be only the first few frames of the hit reaction, not the entire reaction.
Other Gameplay Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where Shoulder Checks and Push Checks on opponents without the puck may not be called interference if they were within close range of the puck carrier.
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur during EASHL 6v6 gameplay that could occur when shooting and getting hit.
- Fixed an issue which allowed users to warp the puck back to their stick after faking, then performing a lacrosse flip pass.
- Fixed an issue where a Timeout after a Penalty Shot whistle in EASHL 3v3 would not trigger correctly and provide the correct gameplay outcome.
- Fixed an issue which prevented a user to manually line change when playing Be a Pro on Hybrid Controls.
- Fixed an issue which allowed a user to avoid engaging in a fight by holding the Hip Check.
