HUT Deep Dive Trailer

Another disaster year for NHL HUT. After playing MLB the Show Diamond Dynasty. Why would anyone settle for less ? This mode is clearly design to encourage player to spend puck. To make matter worst, now you have locked certain objective or moment behind a player card. What do you think the community is going to do ? They are going to scalp all of the cars and sell it for profit.  If you are going to do a player specific objective, you need to give us that card.

In Diamond Dynasty, I am not force to play any moment during a specific amount of time, I can always go back and do all of the program at my leisure. They also reward you with so many cards that can make any player competitive that playing online is a game of skill and card preferences. Now how much I swiped my credit card to build a team.  Where MLB encourage collections and give rewards to do so, EA NHL HUT rewards trashing your card so you can get to the next tier.  So you have to give up 10 or 30 cards so you can get a level 87 instead of a level 85 while in MLB The show, now only do I keep the cards I have but I get given a 90 because I got them all. 

I guess this is all we could expect from EA.  tweak a game mode towards predatory scheme to force player to swipe their credit card so they can compete online. This is what HUT mode has become. If you don't play every week, you will be so far behind that it becomes a mode of elitist streamer winning against Joe casual.
