Time For A New Hockey Game
Just got beat my a brand new team with lessor players that his 83 Dougie Hamilton and his Tyler Myers were faster than my Connor McDAvid and my Dylan Larkin. I just don't know what to say anymore. I...

Played game where I matched a lower overall team via cross-play against a PS5 player. He had 65 overall Marcus Hellgren Smed as his goalie. His best player was a 77 Marko Dano. My goalie is a 89 Patrick Roy, and my best player is 89 Kucherov. Half my team is above 86 overall, and I have 5 synergies on. This guy from viewing his roster had 2 synergies active which one of them was useless. He must have been Div 5 since I got 5 points after winning in a shootout.
Marko still outskated my players and he managed to score 2 goals from behind my net. Don't know why when I was defending, my A.I. defense decided to leave away to stay wide by the boards, although it's been a consistent problem with A.I. not playing positional hockey.
It's stuff like this that makes people like myself unmotivated to play. I play competitive hockey currently IRL and wrap around goals are way tougher to do on skilled goalies in real life. an 89 Patrick Roy shouldn't be so weak on these.
Even when I started on HUT this year my base cards were faster than my opponents stacked team. I went on a 12 game winning streak. Since upgrading it seems my higher end cards are slower and unskilled.

Without video, there's no way to determine this is the fault of the game though. There's a lot of variables at play that would determine if any 2 players on the ice have speed differentials. Overalls and/or Speed/Accell attributes are not the only factors.
If you have an 89 McDavid but you're starting/stopping more often and/or you've got him on the ice while his line energy is depleted, or you're making hard angles while skating, my 82OVR nobody will outskate you if I'm not doing those things and he's fresh.
