Does team quality matter in ultimate team? Lately it seems to me that the rating of the players doesn't matter, the 83 player will easily skate past the 94 defender. What's the point of all this? Improving the staff does not make any sense. It also seems to me that the goals fall in the same way, why?
Community ManagerHello, @Riditelvesmiru
Can you get some video of this happening? This comes up now and then, but nobody has been able to provide video of it yet.
Like in Dark Souls, there are many soft and hard caps when it comes to player attributes; I can't speak for an 83OVR player, but an 87 or 88 can definitely even the playing field - Couple that with things like fatigue, synergies, and positioning, it doesn't surprise me a higher rated team can be put in a bad spot

Dont forget some props to the one holding the controller.
If me and Lance Armstrong had the same bike, im still sure he would made me look like the amateur I am in compare to him..
Dont support EA and buy packs - get good instead... 😜

@Riditelvesmiru This is another reason why I stopped playing HUT ratings don't matter ,just take a look a squad battles, ea can make it that an 77 overall team ,skate just as fast as a 90 overall team ,I find that versus is much better than HUT and the ratings actually. matter
Ratings absolutely matter, but they don't guarantee a win. Someone with a higher skill at the game, but uses a lower rated team, still has a chance at winning. So far, nobody has been able to provide proof that slower skaters are beating faster ones.
Let's also not forget that some teams might use lower players but also have a ton of boosts on the skaters to make them higher in areas thus making say an 85 player possibly much higher in certain areas. Also you can't judge a team by their rating either because much like me I'm sure many people have a super low rated backup goalie just for the perks.
A lot of people learn 1 or 2 ways to score and 1 or 2 ways to play defence.
The easiest possible way to be effective.
Thoose who try to play this game in a more advanced way, with more variety, takes a higher risk of losing.
I would go so far and say, being better then your opponent is not the same thing as being the one who won.
Theres diffrent way to measure skill.
I think It's too easy to have enough skill to win games in this game.
I dont think people would complain as much about this type of things if the game had a higher skill-gap.
It needs to be more challenging to learn how to play this game.
Being outshoot by a far amount of shots and down a lot in TOA, its a clear indication of a better opponent. (it really is! * high logical thinking)
I can probebly see it happen more easy IRL - that the outshooting opponent manage to find a way to win, but it shouldn't be as common in a video game...
Shouldn't that mean its more wrong with the game then the ones playing the game..? 🙄😊
.. Or is it just realism.... Naah, if you ask me, not this subject.
Community ManagerThe better player isn't always the one with more shots. It's more about quality than quantity. You also need to read how your opponent is playing and take advantage their mistakes. For example, if you see someone taking a lot of shots from their D, most likely they're doing D to D passes. Set your strategy to tight point and intercept one of those passes for a breakaway. That could be the GWG and could mean they have less shots. Of course, there are bad shots that still score. That's also a part of real hockey. Just like teams winning with less shots. If your opponent is noticing any gaps in your play and is taking advantage of them, that's part of the skill in this game. I tend to focus less on how many shots I take and focus more on setting up better scoring chances.
