Just have your whole team put gold truculence on your characters. The only skill that matters in this game. It literally allows bad players to be in games because the hits lock on and suck you in sometimes.
CHEL doesn't make them enough money to care about the game mode. The little money they make from the ridiculous skins is from less talented players throwing 30+ big hits a game. The big hits are the only that keeps that player base around. This game will never be in a fun/competitive state as long as EA is the only one making a hockey game. They can just copy and paste every year and get away with it because it's the only hockey option.

Although truculence is way OP and some of the getup animations take far too long, a team with quick passing and skill can easily trounce a team that relies heavily on it. If you're being caught in big hits often, it's worth it to use the Warrior x-factor.

The big hits can be really dumb sometimes, but I think what keeps the player base around is the game's ability to allow you to play hockey with your friends. I know it's trendy to hate on the game but the reality is there are thousands of people playing the game every day , all year long.

The game is used for lots of prominent and competitive esports leagues. I think that says something.
You can definitely beat those types of teams with skill, quick passing and playing smart. The late hits window makes it difficult sometimes though. EA needs to adjust this a bit. I have elite warrior on my dman builds and it helps a lot. After an initial hit my player usually bounces right back up uninjured with not much endurance/stamina lost. Against teams that focus on hitting rather than winning it’s a different game. You know the teams that play just trying to injury players. We usually win but we take a hell of a beating with those late hits in the process. The various people that I play with usually don’t play those types of teams. Those games just drag out way too long and we rather play teams with skill and smarts which are more fun and actually take skill to play.
Which prominent and competitive esports leagues are using EA NHL?
