HUT objectives are not reasonable

I am a true hockey fan and very loyal to the NHL series over the years. Over the years, EA added some great possibilities from awesome dekes to game modes. 

In my opinion I feel EA games are not built to play against the CPU. 

The CPU goalies can be impossible to score against and the CPU Defense is insane. Here is what is extremely frustrating, my CPU teammates are consistently missing plays, out of position and not doing what is needed to make ideal plays. 

I started getting into HUT over the years. Here is my issue with NHL23 HUT, the objectives are extremely unreasonable and very difficult to get three stars. 

I understand that the game is setup to not like be easy but having a minute in a period to accomplish some of the goals makes it beyond difficult; which makes the game not fun to play at all. 

To make the game better, make the objectives more reasonable.

    Can confirm - it definitely works (even @EA_Aljo says so - lol).  I do recommend creating an alternate lineup though - keep your main lineup then use the alt to grind the objectives

    I'll jump on the confirmation train and 2nd the creation of an additional lineup to do it. 

    I have an 'Objectives' lineup that I'll swap out to help with this. This also might help the OP, @prettyricky7101 , in challenges. Until you build high rated lineup it helps to create lineups to clear challenge objectives. Early on I'll have a lineup of heavy hitters to make it easier to get hits, centers with high face off stats and so on depending on the objective I need help clearing.

    Wow, that's incredibly helpful, thanks...if only the objective descriptions had made it in any way shape or form clear that there are multipliers i prolly wouldn't have missed most of them...also explains why everyone seemed to have that 88 Teravainen from the Halloween one..i thought there was just super crazy grinders playing like 20 hours a day!!

    hut rush is now unplayable .. ea nerfed the packs and prizes so much its not worth the time ... plus its near impossible to score on the rookie goalie .. they have the sliders jerkked off ... its not stopping pro level youtubers form doing them in six hours but hurting everyone else.. 

    spend 3-4 hours to get a mini pack with a bronze logo ... really ..spend another 5 hours and get one seasonal collectable ... really 

    at a certain point ea has to cater to its customers and fan base .. one needs to look into ethical business pracrices and a monopoly .. Antitrust laws are statutes developed by governments to protect consumers from predatory business practices and ensure fair competition. Antitrust laws are applied to a wide range of questionable business activities, including market allocation, bid rigging, price fixing, and monopolies.

    this is not a consumer friendly business here at ea sports ..

    Ya if you have some coins saved up in order to fill a roster with the event players then its great to get yourself one of the master players. gets a little mind numbing blasting thru the squad games though, i think its worth it. squad rewards, game rewards and then the collectibles in order to get/ build the player. At first I read the details and it didnt say anything about using more then on player so i figured it was pointless, then saw games piling on so i filled a squad.

    @Januarymom ya HUT rush seems like its just for gameplay, and those who enjoy the variety of using their hut players in arcade style, the players just need the big heads.

    You need to just work your way up to it man through squad battles or something. I play on superstar only and crush through the challenges. I do not devote my life to this game to achieve it. You just need to have the hockey iq to know when to make your moves. Otherwise the cpu will punish you because they’re playing hockey, not trying to score a certain amount of goals within a time limit. You need to play hockey to beat the cpu as the difficulty goes up. 

    Passing and puck control. You want to be hitting minimum 85% passing per game and always having the better puck control.

    hope this helps 👍
