Rantanen with back to back hat trick playoff games as only the third player in history, but instead of releasing a card for him, let’s just release the Closers with a randomly selected Alumni. So relevant with everyone watching the Playoffs and IIHF Worlds right now. I can’t believe how much the content went downhill from its peak in NHL21. Also, still waiting for Kometa Brno Champions cards.
Rantanen just got a 95 overall card 3 days (or 2 content days) ago. Yes, a card for that achievement would definitely be deserved, but I think you're going a bit too far if you are complaining that he didn't get a new card today when he just got one earlier this week. In the big picture I agree that today's content is disappointing though.
I agree with your entire post. I think just higher level rewards alone would make a huge difference in getting players more motivated. If you’re gonna need 5 91s overall for example we should be getting at least one of the 5 for such a set as a reward preferably the final reward in 2 sets for the week. We need to get access to higher level free players (higher difficulty on some of needs be) if the cost of these new players is going to be so high in events. Forcing people to spend coins for upgrades rather than them being the appropriate level to put towards a top end reward is going to hurt the player base and make games harder to find. These low rewards vs high level demand to trade for upgrades are just making people change games. It’s not doing any of the current player base any help not to mention the more users moving on means less people buying packs. I’m surprised losing playerbase in order to get people to spend more seems more profitable than just making things slightly easier for F2P players to build a set and get a card each week
