This game is an absolute joke, im done.it’s only for people who glitch and cheat. How much do I need to spend to win???

A lot is connectivity. EA won’t spend a nickel getting servers to more remote locations, and sending info through 12 nodes takes time. What is sad about it is that they don’t tell people that before buying. I only like HUT but I live in rural SK, and we just don’t get the Internet service to compete.
Of course, EA wants players to think that a 5MB/sec connection puts everyone in a level playing field. It does not. Not even remotely.
I think as long as one remembers that EA’s goal is to get your money, the rest makes sense.

Community ManagerWe aren't sending you through 12 nodes. We have no control over the routing your ISP provides. Hopefully, we'll have a server closer to your location at some point in the future.
- @EA_Aljo Of course EA is not responsible for any individual’s ISP. My issue is that the game profits from its inability to level the field, without doing enough to let players know that connectivity can make a major difference in one’s rewards. Players are encouraged to buy booster packs in the hope that stronger cards will translate into more wins, and it doesn’t.
I am not great at the game, but I am good enough to notice the difference that a few ms can make in timing shots and checks. And, I’m knowledgeable enough to wonder how a team rated 15 points below mine is fast enough to be instantly on the puck, and win every race. I know I’ll lose games based on skill, and that doesn’t bother me. It’s the losses to people who are clearly benefiting from system imbalances - or just flat out cheating - that wear me down.
