What is the issue with Cup Chase???
Trying to get used to the format, so playing on a lower difficulty. Just played my first round of the playoffs. Blanked the team 13-0. Just to finish the game and find out it registered as a 0-3 L. Ruined my chances of getting better rewards (which I hear are trash anyway) So, what is the point of playing this mode? Are there any ways to make up for the fact that I just wasted the time winning 18 games to end with this result?Unbalanced rewards for Cup Chase and Competitive
So I just looked at the rewards for competitive play and wow makes cup chase even more of a joke. Basically EA has said who cares about the players who want to play HUT but don’t enjoy competitive play. They’d rather play squad battles or now cup chase to enjoy themselves. It’s like saying my neighbors little girls tricycle is going to beat you Lamborghini in a race. Yes that bad of a comparison. You’re constantly each level getting packs with multiple cards in them versus cup chase big whopping 1 fricken card. That’s after playing 22 games too. What a JOKE. Last years game I didn’t touch 1 game of competitive. Why? Cuz I’m 50 and don’t enjoy online play anymore. I enjoy HUT but play squad battles. That being said I’d put my team up against any team out there. I had ovr of 98 last year. That was with skipping months of playing around the stanley cup event. I still ended up a 98. With the way it is this year? Pfffttt that won’t happen. There’s no rewards in it. I can’t be the only player who feels this way or plays HUT this way. I enjoy hockey. Playing competitive is just not enjoyable. Come on EA cater to both types of players. We paid the same to play your game. Fix this!!!!Cup Chase is sooooo bad.
So since I’m more an offline player I usually just put on some music, better music than game music for sure, and just play a bunch of games. So when they talked about cup chase I thought cool something new. New doesn’t mean better people lol. I just finished my first play through of cup chase. The coins per game was ridiculous. The pack rewards were atrocious. The ending felt anticlimactic. The inability to change the period length is dumb. I get it a lot of people want to finish games quicker so they can just rush through them. Not everyone does that. I want to enjoy each game. Not blink and it’s over. Hell my first line, which apparently forgot what a line change was, stayed out there until the 10 min mark for a lot of games. Even with constantly spamming the change line button. When it was all over and winning championship I opened my rewards. Well rewards is a stretch. Hand full of mediocre cards and UT to boot. WTH?!? UT cards a rewards? Can’t even sell the best card I got even though I don’t need it. This needs to change for sure. Then to top it off since I’m bored I start another one and I got the same exact teams again?!?! How’s that happen? Are you telling me there’s only 9 other people playing HUT that I couldn’t get different teams? Well no one wants to constantly play the same teams over and over again. Last years system worked. There was no reason to change it. You did and not for the better. That being said cup chase is horrible and a whole year of playing that? For the rewards you get? Nope.Horrible HUT changes in nhl 26.
Why Ea? For the love of god why? NHL 25 reward system was perfectly fine. You played the game how ever you wanted and still got rewarded with coins and packs. Whether you played online, offline, casual or sweaty. Personally I’m more an offline player in my older age. I want my team to have players I grew up watching and just relax and have fun. I’m not that sweaty player anymore. So thinking last year was move in right direction this years should be the same or even better right? RIGHT!?!? Nope. Wow cup chase is meh at best. The rewards? Wow. They’re as good as White Castle and case of bush beer the next morning. Big steamy pile of…. Yeah you get the picture. Horrible. What like 5 cards total? The coins too like 500 a game. Seriously? I’m not spending more money on packs. Not happening. Don’t get me started on some of the gameplay too. That’s another rant. So I hope starting Friday the rival/squad battle reward system reappears in some new form. Otherwise no reason to continue to play HUT for any casual/offline player. There’s just not enough rewards for the time you’d try to put into it. I can’t be only person feels this way??Missing card
This morning I had completed the set for the new Chel Week Jacob Slavin, and when I had went to check my collection there was no card. So I checked trade pile, then recorded a video of it once I seen it was gone. Next I restarted my console and game, went back on and still nowhere to be seen. Looking for some helpDaily free Fresh Ice Coll. Pack from Shop didn't go to Collection
EA_Aljo After I got my Fresh Ice Daily Pack today, I sent it to collection, and it didn't end up in my collection (was the usual 5 collectibles, and packed the Cape Breton Arena). I went to add it to a Collectibles set and nothing was there. Playing on Xbox Series X.
Card value
Just curious as to why there is a major difference in card values, in regards to selling power. There are cards that have zero sale value. Like the Brent Burns card. There are others, inuding TOTY cards that have less than 200 coin sale value. My query is. What is the premise behind this discrepancy. Anyone attuned as to the reason?Ranked Thoughts and Idea
I think the Ranked System in its current state is actually pretty cool of an idea. It rewards the best of the best players and showcases who really stands out above the others. AKA, Its highly competitive which is what people really wanted when Rivals existed was a mode that was competitive when Champs wasn't active. What I will say though, is that the flaw with this system is if you are playing game after game of ranked and you are not moving anywhere or improving so my thought is this. Give people double or even triple the coins per online game played. At least this way, if you are not moving up in ranks to get packs, you are earning coins to buying packs or cards in the AH or store to improve your team.Cup Chase sets are a joke. HUT seems to only be for pack purchasers this year.
EA nerfed the rewards so badly they are trying to force the player base to spend money on the game. This is ridiculous, 20 games of cup chase, 35 collectables, you get no coins and one card from the set. If EA wants NMS players out of the game they sure as heck are doing a good job of that. No incentive to play at all.Disconnects during chase for the cup
Hey so far a pretty positive experience with nhl 26. regarding to the rewards for going undefeated in chase for the cup. I’ve been disconnected twice now and it’s not the end of the world but when it gives me a loss already I feel a lot less urge to play. Hoping you can keep that as a consideration going forward.Chel Weeks MSP Sets
Random issue I had and not sure how to fix it or who to reach out to. For the Kadri MSP set, I had a base item go into the Chel Weeks player spot and the item disappeared, says there is 1/5 items in the set but there is no visual of a card in any of the slots. Wondering how to fix this?Goalie X-Factor ability "Show Stopper" seems OP
I played two opponents in a row whose goalie had this ability and it seemed to activate on a huge majority of shots. Wrist shots, snap shots, one timers, backhand-forehand/forehand-backhand and backhand tuck attempts. The description says "Utilize catlike reflexes with increase Save Accuracy and Readiness when performing reflex saves and consecutive saves" and based off of this, almost every save the goalie makes is a reflex save? It just seems weird.No thought @ all
You made one of the 3 daily objectives "complete 3 objectives". Which anyone who has already completed the few objectives there was, cannot complete. Therefore the daily pack is unattainable for anyone who seriously plays HUT. 👀😪 You got our $$ EA, could you at least make the objectives attainable and not leave us feeling even more ripped off?
