I never thought I would find myself on a forum on EA’s website but if it helps them see it then here goes nothin. NHL 25 is seriously the worst experience I’ve had with a video game EVER. Skating is ...

Yes but they make the game a pay to play or pay to advance game. My team consists of 95% AHL players and I get put up vs a team that is all NHL and 85+. It's ridiculous tbh. Kinda wish I hadn't bought it now. And this was the reason I didn't play the last 2 versions. They need to do a better job putting you against the same type of teams. Makes it useless and not fun getting smoked every time
This is a HUT-Specific issue. Ultimate Team modes are killing sports videogame franchises. EA is matching you up against teams of NHLers to entice you to spend $$$ to unlock the packs you need to get to the same 'level'.
I will always tell everyone that HUT does not resemble this sport well at all. No parity between player attributes lends itself to one of the most over the top arcade experiences being passed off as 'realism' to unbeknownst players who only have passive interest in OVP, World of Chel or offline modes designed to get the most out of the gameplay.
HUT is designed to get the most $$$ out of people, not to provide any kind of realism.
