NHL 25 hut rewards

TTZ_Dipsylet me try to help. First, let me say that I have purchased every nhl game since nhl94 and im a huge fan of the game.  I also became a fan of the hut game mode when it started back in nhl11.  I always buy the  early access version and I have played every beta.  Nhl25 gameplay is great ! I love it so far and I love the changed that you did to the franchise mode.  The problem has been for the HUT gamemode. The whole hut community and myself are really disapointed right now. There is a lot of issues. 

They changed the way we get our rewards. The idea is that they would removed the weekly reward from hut rivals and hut squad battle, and replaced it with a new xp progress path. We were all happy to hear that we would finally get instant rewards instead of having to wait to get our rewards at 17H00 PM on tuesday and wednesday. it was a good idea. But with the new system at the moment, instead of receiving approximately 10 packs per week that contains about 60 players,  we are now receiving maybe 8 players per week. The whole xp progress path at the moment is not fun. In example, you need to play approximately 2.5 hours ( if you win) to go to the next tier.  But you already see that the reward will be 3 bronze player that won’t play in your team.  So you look at the tier after that would require you to play another 2.5 hours, and you see that the reward will be 2000 coins.  We all have plenty of coins. The tier after, another 2.5 hours of playing gives you a silver player 76 overall that you know won’t play in your team. So just looking at the xp progress bar, the player already see that he needs to play 15 hours of winning games before getting a small small small chance of getting a player good enough to play in his team. It makes no sense. I have never seen a broken progression system  like that in any other good video games.  In summary, theres not enough feeling of any progression or satisfaction progressing the xp path.  

One of the best part that players enjoyed playing hut game mode was opening packs. Why ? Because of the dopamine rush it gives to our brain.  Even if you knew that the packs wouldn’t have a good percentage of getting you something good, you still had a small chance ! It was also fun to open multiple packs all at once because it gives you the impression that you had more chance.  But with the new xp progress path, most of the packs we obtain, we already know it will be a 76 overall 77, 78 etc... So before opening the pack, you already know that the player wont play in your team. Its very boring especially when you have multiple packs like that to open. Give us an open all button maybe ? We should be excited to open every pack. But thats not the way it is so far this year.  

We need something realistic to constantly chase for. At the moment we can’t even dream of getting good players that we could make with the sets because we all know it will be impossible with the amount of reward that we are getting this year. 

In my opinion, the xp progress path shouldn’t be the main source of rewards. The xp path should be a bonus. 

in summary, i am worried that we won’t be able to find an online hut game in 3 weeks because no one will play the game mode because the way it is right now, hut is no longer a fun mode to play.  Please, pass this message to the dev if you can. We would like to at least know if they are aware and if they acknowledge that there is an issue with the hut game mode.  Im sure they will see in their stats that the number of hut hours played per players has dropped significantly compared to the same period last year. They will probably see the packs sales go down also because less players are playing. Most of us did not even spent our 4600 pts that we received for preordering the game. This is crazy !  They need to understand that players will buy packs if they enjoy the game mode and having fun grinding it. Not the other way around ! It should not be that you need to buy packs to start enjoying the game mode.  thank you !
