Why does not Nicklas Bäckström exist in any team in HUT, he isn't exactly a rookie that's never played an NHL game. We are talking about one of the best to ever play the game, so theres got to be a reason for him not being in the game, no?
Thank you
Community ManagerHi there. When a player is missing, it's due to not having the licensing rights to have them in the game.
Backstrom is in the game. He plays for Brynas in the Swedish league and has a headshot in the game as well. He just doesn't have a HUT card. Are you sure it's an issue with licensing rights even though he is in the game with a headshot? Or is it possible that the licensing rights are fine but there is a different reason why he doesn't have a HUT card?
Community ManagerApologies for that. Unfortunately, not every player is going to be available in HUT. I don't have any other details on this.
No problem. But what do you mean by "not available"?
Do you mean that the team just decides not to give HUT cards to some players? Or do you mean that they can't give HUT cards to some players who are in the game outside of HUT even if they want to? And why would that be the case if it's not because of licensing rights?
Most non NHL players have a base card in HUT, so they are "available" in HUT even if they don't get any other cards. But Backstrom doesn't even have a base card. But for example Shea Weber doesn't have a base card either and he has gotten a card in two different events, so not having a base card doesn't mean that the player can't get any HUT cards at all.
I know you said you don't have any other details on it, but your answer is so vague that I would like to get some clarification on what you mean by players not being available in HUT.
Anyway, I hope Backstrom will get a HUT card at some point if it's possible for the team to give him a card.
Community ManagerUnfortunately, I don't have any other information on why some players are not available in HUT.
Yeah but are they not available to the team, or are they just not available to us because they don't happen to have a HUT card?
Can you at least let us know if it's technically possible for Backstrom to get a HUT card at some point? I'm not asking you to tell us any details on future releases, but if there is something that prevents the team from giving him a HUT card, it would be nice to know so that people don't need to keep waiting for him to get a HUT card if he can't get one for some reason?
Community ManagerI don't see why it wouldn't be technically possible. There's just always more involved with who gets an item in HUT.
Ok, thanks for that information.
