EA releases patch 1.004 to resolve online desyncs and animation glitches
The patch addresses specific gameplay mechanics that affected player control and visual fidelity during online sessions. EA fixed a desync issue that occurred after penalty sequences in World of Chel, ensuring smoother synchronization between connected clients. The developer also corrected a glitch where a player’s arm or hand would twitch unnaturally after releasing a pass while glide skating.
Beyond animation fixes, the update tunes physical-contact penalty calls for Boarding and Charging to better reflect on-ice collisions. Stability improvements address crashes in Connected Franchise, World of Chel, and Hockey Ultimate Team, reducing unexpected disconnects. These changes aim to create a more consistent experience for users navigating complex online matches and franchise modes.
Hockey Ultimate Team receives a broad range of stability fixes and improvements across key features like Sets, the Auction House, and line management. The patch also resolves issues with coach strategy resets and aligns various UI elements within Objectives, Wildcard, Cup Chase, and the Store. Visual updates include new center-ice designs for multiple NHL, AHL, ECHL, OHL, QMJHL, and WHL teams, alongside uniform updates for ECHL, OHL, Liiga, National League, and SHL squads.
