Fantasy Hockey Upgrades:
I don't understand how Schmaltz gets TOTW.
In the Week of March 10 - 16:
Schmaltz had 2G, 2A
Pettersson had 3G, 3A
Protas had 4G, 4A (first career hat trick vs ANA on Mar 11) -- his best card is 87 OVR.
It's unfortunate that Pettersson was given a 90 OVR 4 Nations Fantasy Card, since that card is not pullable- And neither is his 87 Exclusive Frozen Forces. I know he's having a bad year compared to last year, but new Pettersson cards would be nice.
EA_Aljoare we going to get new tiers to the daily hat trick players? They should be close to 92 upgrades soon.
Is it correct that 91 speed and 89 acceleration is enough to make Fantasy Hockey Sebastian Repo a 98 overall card? I mean those stats feel very low for 98 overall.
For comparison, Fantasy Hockey Jason Zucker has 92 speed and 92 acceleration at 98 overall and Fantasy Hockey Megan Keller has 94 speed and 95 acceleration at 98 overall. I know Repo is a center with 99 faceoffs, but I'm not convinced that the faceoffs stat explains his low speed and acceleration stats compared to other 98 overall cards.
Someone also pointed out on reddit that there were 192 98 overall cards in NHL 24 and all of them had at least 92 speed and 92 acceleration. So it seems very strange to me that Repo only has 91 speed and 89 acceleration at 98 overall.
I would probably not be asking this question at this point if he still had a chance at scoring one more goal and hitting 99 overall, but the regular season is now over in the Finnish league which means that 98 is his final overall.
And if those stats are correct, then I think something should be changed so that players can get some more speed and acceleration upgrades at lower overalls instead of having very low speed and acceleration stats (for example Repo had 87 speed and 85 acceleration at 96 overall) and then getting a huge speed and acceleration upgrade between 98 and 99 overall.
I know it used to be +1 speed and acceleration per overall and now it's +0.5 speed and acceleration per overall. How about +1 speed and acceleration per overall until those stats hit 90 and then after that +0.5 speed and acceleration per overall (until a bigger upgrade is needed for those stats in order to bump up the overall)? Is this something that could be considered for the future games? I think it would make sense.
I don't understand this constant discussion about Repo.
Yes, he's slow, but he's not the only one
It's just bad luck that he got injured, but at least he's reached 98ovr ... his last fantasy card was only a85ovr
And there are currently even 4 fantasy cards that aren't even 85ovr
Many of the EU Base Cards do not have realistic stats and that is why they are so slow since the 0.5 speed rule was introduced
We are still at least 6 days away from having enough collectibles
Community ManagerI'll pass the feedback on to the team. Thank you.
Community ManagerThe current attribute ratings are intended. I'll pass on your feedback though. Thanks!
Community ManagerI'll look into this. Thanks!
I didn't mean to complain about Repo's Fantasy Hockey card or say that EA should do something because he got injured or anything like that. I just wanted to make sure that his speed and acceleration stats are correct because they are exceptionally low for a 98 overall player.
I'm definitely happy that he reached 98 overall. He did better than expected and ended up at a much higher overall than the last time he had a Fantasy Hockey card. He is one of the best Fantasy Hockey players this year so far despite his speed and acceleration stats.
As I said, I just wanted to make sure that his stats are correct.

Yes, and I think those players should have more realistic stats and/or it should be +1 speed and acceleration per overall when those stats are lower than 90 and +0.5 only when they are 90+ or something like that. What do you think?
