Can someone guess the teams ratings on the image below.
Let me help you:
Maxrich: 82
Gapple Bees: 77
Hhgff: 82
Njigbers: 86
For the 7-1 win, I've downgraded my team to 82 instead of 87 as a test. So no, the team and player ratings don't matter.
Here's a video of the 3-2 lost against the 77 rated team. See how the goalie is pretty much invincible. This has nothing to do with tactics.
@ThoorWoolf Tell me about it, I use 88 Hasek too and he's terrible against lower rated teams. Just look at this video. Very frustrating.
You can't focus on the overall ratings of a team or player. You have to breakdown the individual players and their stats. 88 Hasek sounds good in theory but his aggression is too high and his stats protecting the top half of the net are far too low. He's also only 82 on the breakaway.
It stinks to lose to <80OVR teams but you have to look how the team was built and what strategies they run. Playing Squads on Superstar also means your opponent won't be making too many mistakes and will make you pay for each one of yours.
@ThoorWoolf @ you have to change tactics if the game feels difficult. you play for the opposing team and not for yourself. every match is different and even a bad team can score or their strategy works better. then it depends on how you have built the team...and what style they play. I understand what you're looking for, but it's not as simple as you think
@Jeff_frm_Edmonds 88 Hasek sounds good in theory but his aggression is too high and his stats protecting the top half of the net are far too low. He's also only 82 on the breakaway.
So why am I able to easily beat the Team and Squad of the week each time with him in net. He makes incredible saves when I play against higher rated teams.
No offense but I'm usually ranked top 100 at Squad Battle when I have the time to play all the games so I know when something funny happens during a game. There's nothing wrong with my strategy. Those lower team losses are just not fun at all. EA wants it to be closed games but playing them doesn't make sense. One period you have 15 shots with no goals and the next the CPU scores 2 goals on 4 shots and you end up loosing in shootout because the 78 goalie stops everything.
What do you think would happened if a team of NHL legends would play a team made of junior and American league players?
@6hpy2hzsfzas @ look carefully there is a place, but you panic and press the wrong button💁🏼♂
what else should i see in the video?
I maybe know what you're looking for.
a team with which a high entity can overplay and while a low level opponent's code works better.
