Since the recent update. Can't win anything.
I cant get a single win in div 2. No matter how hard I try and outplay my opponent. Nothing works. I don't understand at all.

No incentive to be in a high division anymore so div 1 players are dropping down (intentionally) to get their 30 wins. Good job EA!
Except that is not the case. I am still playing the same players as last season. Hasn't changed. I beat them easily multiple times. Now this season I can't win 80% of games. The update broke the game.
Just had a HUT champs game where my opponent scored 13 goals on 33 shots. My team is 89 overall with TOTY McDavid, Kucherov, and Makar. My shutdown xfactor would proc on hits and stick checks but my opponent would still maintain puck possession. My teammates would follow my opponent but wouldn't check them or just let them skate right through them. My players felt like 60 ovr bronze players. They were slow, couldn't pass, etc.
These games are rare and my ping was 40ms. I don't understand where one game will be fine and the next no matter what I do. The puck just constantly bounces around in my opponent's favor.
I am pretty sick of it to be quite honest. What is the point in playing when you're a high ranked player and often matching against others with equal skill. Then random games will happen and absolutely nothing goes your way. It doesn't seem like there is a skill gap at all. It seems like the game is just a coin toss to see who gets puck luck and a goalie that can't save a beach ball. Then the next game the goalie makes great saves and your team plays properly.
