So in order to move from Line 4 to Line 3
You have to be a 1 PPG players...what a ridiculous requirement if you don't get a point, there is no way anyone can get Form Factor 75. Often an apple is not enough. On an average of playing 6 minutes a game, sometimes being bench 2 consecutive period, It is such an ridiculous requirement. I once score 1 goal and 1 assist and I got bench an whole period after...
Not only is it almost impossible unless you play at lower level of difficulty, you don't get enough energy to keep your players at good energy level and put points in trait. The dip between full energy and exhausted is 10 points. So you go from being a OVR 81 to 71.
Sometimes I have the impression that whoever does QA for EA does it on rookie level so they can go through quickly. No one test this thing at superstar / all starts/ pro level. If I was an 1 PPG player, I would be a superstar playing on the 1st line of any NHL team.
I really hope EA has some tweak for this BoP mode because I would say right now the balance makes this mode unplayable at this moment. There is always no way to move up unless you play on rookie.
